2010 - simply self expression stopping the judgment

[DomBarber]

you are an amazing lady

[bammbamm12]

Is this a male dominated organization? Why are you required to relinquish your natural beauty by shaving your head, while baldness does nothing to denigrate a man?

Btw, do you advocate equal rights for the unborn?

[mayarote]

@bammbamm12 No - desteni is not a "male dominated organization" and a shaved head isn't a requirement - shaving my head was a choice i made to prove to myself that i am not defined by my hair and do not have to separate myself from others with a unique hear cut. don't you find it interesting that you automatically connect a shaved hair to male, when in fact both male and female can shave their head and thus it doesn't really define gender - do you honestly think that self is defined by hair?

[mayarote]

@bammbamm12 i am one vote for world equality within the principle of what is best for all, as we are all one and equal, thus there isn't a rule (right / wrong) i go by as principle except for the one i have mentioned- this allows me to address every situation as it presents itself within the moment within self honesty and not as a preplanned list of do's and don'ts -in some cases it might be self honest to keep the baby and in some cases maybe not, it is all in the STARTING POINT of our actions

[bammbamm12]

@mayarote - That is perfectly ambiguous, and leaves you all the wiggle room you want to do whatever your leader tells you. And don't kid yourself - you have a leader - and you two ain't equal. Also, shaving your head doesn't clean your soul - it's purely superficial, and will work for a few days and lapse into meaninglessness. And if our opinions are equal, mine nullifies yours. If you don't protect the unborn you are a false teacher. Sorry, but it's true.

[mayarote]

@bammbamm12 1) i am not a teacher and thus cannot be a false one - i am walking my process and sharing myself. 2) shaving my head wasn't purely superficial - i faced myself within doing so and within facing the resistance from society - the value of having a shaved head was what i made of it, it isn't a value of itself. 3) having wiggle room is the only way i can learn to take self responsibility - having a set of rules is living as a follower. 4) our opinion are equally irrelevant.

[mayarote]

@bammbamm12 which life to save in a situation of medical difficulty - do you save the mother or the fetus? what if a woman was raped and doesn't have money to raise a child? i do not take abortions lightly - people need to take responsibility for themselves and face the consequences of their actions - i'm saying it isn't black and white, and having a fixed rule doesn't allow you to see the full picture and really consider what is best for all, considering both the mother and the unborn being.
