 The Original Sin

The Original Sin

The patriarchal lens through which this narrative has been scrutinized for centuries has painted Eve as the temptress, the siren luring poor Adam into disobedience. But isn’t it curious how the blame so effortlessly slid off Adam’s shoulders and onto Eve’s?

Patriarchy has indeed been a cunning trick, a masterstroke of centuries-old PR that conveniently shifts culpability from men to women. Adam’s fallibility becomes obscured by the shadows of societal constructs, leaving Eve to bear the weight of her supposed sin alone. It’s a tale as old as time itself—women blamed for the selfish acts of men.

dating down

A recent survey showed that 81% of women are open to dating someone 10 years younger than they are, and that nearly 90% of men are interested in dating someone 10 years older. The data doesn’t lie, more women are open to dating younger men and that more men are open to dating older women than most people might think. 

Despite the data, media is still covering relationships and dating from a primitive perspective. Dating across generational boundaries isn't just a passing trend—it's a reflection of society's changing attitudes towards love and relationships. As long as everyone is a consenting adult, love and desire knows no age. Whether you're an older woman or a younger man, your happiness and fulfillment deserve to be celebrated. Live long and prosper, friends!

WOULDN’T IT BE LOVELY…

The question is ALWAYS, “ So, why don’t you have a man?

“If I had a dollar for every time I am asked about a man I’d be able to close the gender-race pay gap.“

The thing is, I am not in search of a man. I am in search of peace, comfort - rapture. I have always been a go with the flow girl and I move where I am motivated. I have never had an aching desire to find a husband - or even a boyfriend. More than that, I am fun so when I am with someone they should be at lease as fun as I am. If I am not laughing and having a good time in the relationship what am I doing in the relationship?

MISERY LOVES COMPANY, HOW TO MANAGE THE BITCH AT WORK

Unfortunately, we have all experienced a hater in the workplace. Studies show single women often face friction with their married co-workers due to the perception of their free time outside of work.

Being single does’t mean everyone at work is jealous of your free time - there are plenty of reasons we may experience the wrath of a colleague’s misplaced hostility. I found people who behave like tyrants at work are often miserable somewhere else in their lives. I learned that there were better ways to avoid the proverbial airstrikes and landmines in environment of workplace warfare. I call it “warfare” because we are literally in a fight for our survival.
