Kat and Puccah's Strong is the new sexy log

I don't think things like this are to prove men wrong. I think it's more of an attention ("hey look at me" ) grabber. Period shaming doesn't happen nearly as much as people make it out to. Every person over the age of 5 knows women have periods. There are much bigger & more hygienic causes she could be representing/standing up for. I don't blame her for not wearing a tampon while running a marathon (uncomfortable), but that's what menstrual cups are for!! Someone should enlighten her!!!
She just wants attention... has nothing to do with trying to right an unjustice. I have never met a woman that said, I wish I could bleed freely and ruin my clothes. I don't understand why I should try to preserve my clothing, or keep my possibly infectious blood away from others. I actually like the way the blood coagulates on my inner thigh after a couple hours.

BARF!


Got to the gym about 15 mins late this morning and then had to wait on a bench...I even forgot how to count! Lol It wasn't until I finished benching that I realized I used 2.5lb plates last week and not 5lb plates ...so no wonder I couldn't complete all of the reps! I was getting frustrated too!

Best weight you have used for this. This is how you want to be failing. Remember in training that failing is a success, it means you pushed beyond your current capabilities. Now your body has to work to close that gap.
What is this "period shaming" that she's talking about? Is she talking about if someone refers to us being in a bad mood, we must be on our periods? I've never been period shamed before so I have no clue why she did this. Just like you said, everyone knows that women have periods.
She wanted attention, and since Miley Cyrus already died her underarms pink this was the obvious next choice... LOL

Eh, I personally don't care. Did you read that article about one chick saying that tampons should be covered by insurance because it's a medical issue?

Come on, people. We want gender equality but at the same time feel like we should be given special treatment because we're women?!
Haha! That is funny they were talking about this on the radio this morning. The question was "First Date, should a woman pay?" The response from the ladies no he should. Then it was asked well what if the woman asked the man out. The answer was still he should pay... So the DJ says okay where exactly is the line. You want gender equality when it comes to all of the perks, but when it comes to the inconvenience things it should fall on the man. How is the gender equality? He went on to say that most women when asked will say a man should pay the way, or open a door, be polite, yada yada yada because it is nice to be treated like a lady. They want special exceptions for everything that gives them a leg up but the things that are not favorable for them should still be the man's place.

To me I definitely see the irony in that on a regular basis. Me, I just do me, I try to be chivalrous when I can. I try to offer assistance and be a gentlemen because that is how I was raised. That is my job as a man for what I see a man as being. However I also have the ability to assess if a woman is a lady and is deserving of such treatment. If you are not being lady like I am probably not going to treat you like it either.

I agree. Yes, women are stronger these days but it doesn't mean that we should forget our roles in life. For a long time, I thought like a feminazi. I wanted to be equal to a man and do everything they did. I thought that being taken care of meant that I was weak.

I would ask my sister why she was submissive to her husband and her reply would always be, "well, I don't have a problem taking care of my husband and he doesn't have a problem taking care of me." It would completely frustrate me but then one day I realized that she was right.

My mother and father would always tell me that I'll never find a man because I didn't know my place in a relationship. I didn't need to always be correct, always be equal, always be strong, always fight tooth and nail, and I didn't need to wear both the pants and dress in the relationship.

Another thing I realized was that I tried so hard to be this tough girl but all I really wanted was to have a hand to hold.

At the end of the day, women and men play many different roles. Nobody is better than anybody else and I take offense to Rhonda's "Do nothing Bitch" phrase. I am no better than a woman who stays home to take care of her children just because I go to work every day. There are many definitions of a strong person but somehow we have lost it trying to justify our equality.
 
I don't know. I don't necessarily like the phrase "do nothing bitch". However, I KINDA get her point. Women who want things handed to them JUST because they are women, or wanting to get by on just their looks alone. I know females like this, and it drives me crazy. They want a man to take care of them, while they literally sit at home & do nothing (no kids) but spend his money.....yet yell about equality. I don't think she's directly bashing stay at home moms, but women like I'm referring to. I saw her comments on the topic, and as a SAHM I didn't find it offensive. To me, I felt like she was saying that her (female) body has more of a purpose than just getting her taken care of.

I'm extremely independent. At the same time I don't mind being taken care of or taking care of hubby either. Your sister was right. It's hard to find that balance in a relationship sometimes though, and it takes work. Staying at home isn't always easy for me, because I feel like I should be contributing financially. However, at the same time, me staying home saves us childcare costs & is better for our son. I think we're in a time where women have & are making great strides for equality in the workforce & in social respects....but then there are many women choosing to stay home again because childcare is insanely expensive. The general public will always judge the situation...no matter what.

I do think we are past a point of "expected" gender roles in relationships though....or I wish we were. I know many stay at home dads, men who are the cooks in the family, women who are the bread winners, etc. I don't feel like gender should dictate those "roles".

Your "place" in a relationship is one where it brings you happiness, and you are respected & treated equally (I do feel like that is important to a degree)....and offer the same to your partner. You'll find that when the time is right. It does take a strong man to handle a strong willed, independent women though. ;) Hubby & I butt heads often, but mutual respect for one another is what helps us get through our "spats". Plus, then we get to make up!!! ;)

I agree with what you're saying. Maybe I explained myself incorrectly. By "roles" I don't mean that a man cannot be a stay at home father. I meant that it's ok for a woman to still be soft and feminine and a man to be strong and masculine, if they choose to be.

Maybe I've been watching too many ratchet videos where a woman feels like they can hit a man with no repercussions. Fcuk yea, if she hits you, you can hit her back! You want to act like a man then you should get dealt like a man.

I cometely agree!! I also think the opposite should be ok. I think it's ok for the man to be soft & the women to be strong for him sometimes too. I don't think a man should be viewed as weak if he needs to lean on his women (physically or emotionally) at times. It's about holding & building one another up!!

amen to that! I'm sorry but sometimes you just gotta know your role. Only female I would never hit back is my mom or the mother of my children.

Yeah, I don't think her DNB statement was directed at stay at home mothers in any way shape or form. I think she is just accurately stating she has more drive than a DNB. Yeah the name itself is supposed to be offensive if you are a DNB. I think she is more talking about girls with no drive. Not actively pursuing your goals but talking about them.

As for the part about her body they asked her what she felt about her body, she said she thought it was sexy, feminine, and bad ass. That she thought it was super cool that every muscle she has she developed for a specific purpose. That really doesn't have anything to do with anyone else just her defending against the question regarding her body not being feminine due to the muscle. She was basically defending herself for having muscle, and championing herself for having incredible drive.

As far as the wayt hings go in a relationship and this was probably your stance before, that people look at a woman being submissive to her man makes her weak. The thing is being submissive to your man is a decision, you are in control. He is not dominating you, you are giving him the gift of your submission. It really is a difference. When you are choosing to be submissive you are still in control and making choices. If you were being dominated then you would be placed in state of weakness, but choosing to be submissive out of love comes from a position of strength.

Exactly. I think strong willed, independent women (like myself) can struggle with a "submissive" role....even if in it willingly. So, finding that balance is important. I still struggle with considering myself submissive. Hubby asks (key word) me do to something & often I oblige. If he were ordering/demanding me to OR asking in a disrespectful manner...I definitely would not submit just because I love him & want him happy. I feel like obliging my partner with requests (when I can) is completely different than always being subservient & saying yes "out of love". If that makes sense.

I'm trying to find that balance as well. I want to please my partner but I don't want to feel disrespected.

A lesson learned from my last relationship.

Tone, a genuine please & thank you, and the option to say no...all go a long way with me not feeling disrespected. Also, I don't play the "be my mama & get me socks out of the draw when I'm 5 feet away & capable" crap either. "Hey babe...I'm running low on work clothes. Can you wash me some today if you get a chance, please?" I gladly oblige to that & typically say sure of course. I also know if I end up out of the house with our son most of the day & they don't get done it's not a huge deal & he handles it when he gets home. I think knowing it's coming from a place of mutual respect is very important.

Yes, I was the chick who expected sh*t to get done just because I was the bread winner. I was rude as fcuk and would even call him from the other room to get me the remote when was a feet away. I was a total a**hole and felt like he owed me everything because I was stupid enough to keep a roof over our heads. We didn't appreciate each other. But I have definitely learned from that relationship...

That's all you can do. At the the same time, if he never told you no he wasn't doing either of you any favors. I have no problem telling hubby no, and vice versa. I think a big part of it is feeling like their is an option/choice and choosing to do something because you truly want to not because it is expected or because there will be negative repercussions. Hubby & I both have personalities that require us to stand up to each other at times.....being able to do that without it causing big rifts is huge!!

Haha, I was his princess and whenever he would say, "but, babe"!!!! I would say, "you said that I was your princess"!!!! Hahah

That argument actually worked? You are better off without that guy. You would have run all over him at every turn. Wasn't just you that was the problem in that relationship. You need an assertive man, you are far too strong willed to be with a weak man like that. Maybe he was just being placating because you were paying the bills. Was he even trying to work or enjoying time off while you did? A man will put up with a lot of stuff while his bills are being paid. I know, I have done it!

Lol, it worked and he was able to get jobs but was never able to keep them. His whole paycheck would go to me and you are correct, Kleen. When I tell you that I was a b*tch, I was a total b*tch. I did not let him be a MAN. I am no longer that person and I know exactly what I want in a partner.
