Hello ladies (current and former) of Lemmy (current) - I'm curious how your experience of the male gaze has changed as you moved in and out of young-woman-hood.

How has your opinion of being seen changed through this process?

That's not even close to true. Don't believe what Hollywood and Disney are trying to sell. Having a partner doesn't grant meaning or satisfaction with life, nor does not having one bar you from either.

The kind of people who are happy with someone tend to also be the kind of people who are happy single.

Yeah I'm speaking about the generality.. not about a totality.. I'm not talking exactly about happiness I'm talking about life meaning, all living beings are naturally designed to reproduce themselves, I'm not saying that's the only sense of life but definitely continuing the existence of the race it's a big one.

Reproducing doesn't grant meaning. Sheesh.
