Reason should always take precedence over emotion. It's our main tool of
survival. If we subvert it or don't heed it we lose. Humans are the
dominant species. Thats not wishful thinking or boast but just an everyday
fact and we have to act in accordance with facts. Thats not a license to
kick your dog but like a wolverine or owl we have to act in accordance with
our natures and the facts of life. And males don't dominate over females at
leats not this one. All we independent women have to do is assert our
rights and not bow to ideology dogmas and we will be just fine, free to
make our own way and maybe even find out where the *real* men are at.

We probably define 'consumerism' differently but I like that profit from
how I use my time that ables me to do different things. It gives me
choices. And I am glad we have so much to choose from even material things.
So I can't have everything. It doesnt matter because its the freedom of
choice and choices to make that I want. Freedom of choice is everybodys
right.
