Women Set the Tone

Women set the tone for society.  

//

Women set the tone for society.  This is a fact of which I have long been aware.  What’s more, any number of examples could be shown to support this statement.  For instance, in most of nature the male of the species often acts in any particular way to attract a female (for procreation or whatever).  So why should humans be all so different in this regard?  As such, in a free society the female then essentially dictates the behavior of the male – be the dictation subliminal, overt, or however the message is actually transmitted.  Given that the female dictates what type of behavior is seen as becoming to her, again, the male likely then will tend to act in that manner if he desires to become more attractive to that female regardless of any end-goal.  And in this context, by ‘tone for society,’ I mean what is acceptable behavior or the prevailing attitude in that society or way of life.  Therefore, the women tend to set what I describe as the ‘tone for society.’

Also worth noting and often seeming to occur in the more close-minded parts of the world, societies that relegate their women to a lesser class of person or denigrate their women to being somewhat sub-human are never perceived as being ‘cool’ by the rest of the world – with the rest of the world tending to respect women as fellow individuals, at a minimum.  In other words, societies that subjugate women to being second-class citizens and maybe try to control any natural selection in procreation, or societies that dislike/distrust women in general, or simply attempt to force the issue overall – so to speak, surely seem somewhat ignorant of the rules of nature as well.  This sentiment directed towards those ‘un-cool’ societies and emanating from the societies which respect women as individuals is because those ‘un-cool’ societies that denigrate women probably are not very ‘cool’ as a whole.  Typically it seems that those societies are ‘un-cool’ because those societies are usually not very tolerant of others who are different in general – and, hence, further display the ignorance which is likely the norm for any respective ‘un-cool’ society which treats its women as any bit sub-human.  That same ignorance displayed by those ‘un-cool’ societies is likely the same basis by which those societies are judged to be ‘un-cool’ by the rest of the world.

This viewpoint of being ‘un-cool’ regarding societies which denigrate their women is another fact of which I have long been aware.  Mind you, I’m not really trying to make any political statement with this blog entry or necessarily change the world.  As an observer, I’m just sayin’.

Thanks for the Problems.

It seems to me that it may also be appropriate to be thankful for the trials and tribulations of life as well as any opportunities or successes.  In addition to helping to build personal strength, maybe the challenges in life help to remind us that we are alive.

It All Comes Back…, Like a Bad Penny!

December 10th, 2014

A few months ago, I found a plastic bag full of really nasty and tarnished coins – mostly dimes, nickels, and quarters.  Nothing old or rare, mind you.  Just the nastiest-looking coins one likely has ever seen.  Like…, way too nasty to touch with bare hands.  Apparently, the coins had been left in a plastic bag tucked away inside a piece of storage furniture with some painting supplies on someone’s outdoor porch for at least several years.     

So, as the property owner didn’t want the coins, I decided to clean the coins up and spend them as there was at least thirty-five dollars worth of coins in the bag, if not more.  After soaking the coins in cleaning products and some further cleaning – twice, most of the tarnish had come off the coins.  While still somewhat nasty, the only real problem with the coins then was that the finish of the coins had also come off – more or less.  That is, the dimes, nickels, and quarters now all looked like pennies at first glance because those coins no longer had any silvery-looking finish.    

Being as nasty as the coins were even after cleaning, I decided to start using the coins to pay highway tolls.  I remember one toll-booth operator on the Massachusetts Turnpike thinking the coins were pennies and the looks on the faces of the New Jersey Turnpike toll-booth operators as well.  The best reaction, however, was when the New York Port Authority cop who was collecting tolls at the Throgs Neck Bridge thought the coins were fake and exclaimed that now she had “seen everything.”  :)     

But anyway, since spending many of those really nasty-looking coins throughout the northeastern United States and other states as I travelled west, it seems many of the coins have taken to following me.  That is to say, it seems when I am given loose change at a store, I am now forever being given coins (dimes, nickels, and quarters) that have no finish on them – and the coins I’m getting now often look like pennies at first glance too.  Can they be the same coins that I spent as I travelled throughout and across the nation?  Kind’a funny and weird, huh?  Let me know if you per chance get any of those coins too, will ‘ya?
