Okay, so I wrote the article that I talked about in this post. It's obviously about female attitude. It's cut because it's about 1,300 words long. I'd appreciate any feedback.

I really like it. I really do. I will read to read it again a few more times to ponder if there is anything you can add or anything else I see. I will follow-up with you and let you know.

Wow. You know, I'm having trouble reading this. ::checks:: Yep. Probably my baggage

[thespeaker]

So no. Safe to say this doesn't work for me.

*grins* It's probably in the title:

Aligator Stew For The T-Vixen's Soul.

Not being a T-Vixen either, it doesn't work for me too... But it makes sense that, for someone with that kind of a soul, it would do.

Yay for diversity, it keeps life interesting. :)

I respect everything Raven said, and I was sort of agreeing with it when I read it... but I have to admit I thought about what you wrote today at the gym and it helped me push just a little harder.

Now I hurt. Thanks a LOT!
:P

I'm male, and I like it. I also have some questions, but I think my questions are for a subsequent article, and this one is good as is, without trying to satisfy my questions. I *always* have questions, so don't let that slow you down.

best,

Joel

The main question: Wouldn't proving myself *to myself* be a more internally controlled motive than proving *them* *wrong*? It's not about them, it's about *me*.

That said, some of us *are* competitive, and we have to learn that being competitive is okay too. The people who are afraid of being competitive aren't your audience for this article anyway.

best,

Joel

Can I join in this debate, or are you handling both sides just fine? *tease*

Answer: an internal locus of control is more "psychologically ideal", yes. That said, this is written for a T-vixen. Lemme go find the link. Brb.

[kitmouse]

Right. It shadows this article, over at T-nation. Read this for a bit more of an understanding of a T-vixen.

And uh...how did you find this/me?

I want to make some more articulate comments at some point, but at the moment I'm just to pumped up to think of any. So I will just say: Awesome. Thank you. SO much. I'm glad I finally found and read this.

Apart from adding an "O" to "too"...

I have to agree with ravenslost to some extent, though I think it's something to be taken into account along WITH what you're saying, rather than to the exclusion of it. The most important reason to do something is to feel right internally, without waiting for the approval of others. But there's also an element of demanding the attention and appreciation of others, and in learning how to do that, and I think that's a big part of what you're talking about, here. We aren't post-patriarchy, yet; women still have to fight to be taken seriously. One way to do that is to challenge mens' expectations by playing their game. There are other ways, but I don't think they're what you're talking about here. This article is focusing on one path, YOUR path, and maybe it's a path that needs more attention from society as a whole.
