Never Satisfied

Before I or you get into my blog, I would like for you to go to this web link. Check out all the answers because there are some good ones. My personal favorites are the first best one, the mate one, and the one that says" you saying that can disatisfy a woman".

Alright Mrs. Burnett, so if you are still reading this I assume you didn't punch, kick, or hit your computer. I was just looking for stuff and came across that. In all honesty there are SOME women that are never satisfied. But there are also men like that.

Ex. "Honey, can you pass me the chips". For the 13th time.

Just got a promotion. "Why did Johnson get $3 than me"

The man who constantly complains about how his wife doesn't cut his sandwich in triangles.

So it does go both ways. There are men and women who are never satisfied. And to be completely honest, in some cases that is not a problem. For me personally I wish I wasn't so easy to satisfy in some ways. A great personal example takes place in school. For years my dad has been trying to get me to work out and I've always just blown him off. BECAUSE I was satisfied with my physique or lack there of. I've always been athletic and played sports, but I never got into the whole lifting and strengthening thing. But finally I discovered a course at OAHS called Athletic Conditioning (AC), and decided I am tired of being satisfied with my scrawny body. I started it at the beginning of the second semester and it has changed my attitude towards MYSELF. No longer am I satisfied with being able to bench ____, I want to bench _____(+ more lbs). And you know what, I am happy with not being satisfied, because it will make me stronger. And by the end of the year even though I will be way more in shape and way stronger than I've ever been, I hope I am not satisfied. Because then I will have that motivation to keep lifting. And that's not to say I wont be proud of myself, I will just want more. You're probably wondering how in the world is this kid going to tie in weight lifting to Virginia Wolffe and the whole gender studies thing. So here you go.

If women as a whole were satisfied with their situation from 100, 50, even 25 years ago, men would still be the dominant working people while woman always stayed at home. Just like I am not satisfied and it will make me stronger, women not being satisfied makes them stronger. Since when did fighting for what you believed in become wrong. I gain from not being satisfied, and so do women. Now I don’t think women should go out tomorrow and revolt and say their not satisfied and try and become the dominant gender and opress men, but until true equality is met, I see nothing wrong with not being satisfied.

I am trying hard to understand that kid and where he was coming from. The only thing I might agree with him on is the complaining thing. Maybe it's just the fact that we are coddled and spoiled, but there is a complaining problem with women and men, but mainly teenagers. What I mean is that a kid can't just be satisfied with 3 new video games or sneakers or scarves?, heshe needs another one. But in no way is that just women, it is a young thing in general.

So as we reach the final paragraph of by blog, I hope you were pickin up what I was puttin down. If you are confused by my hodgepodge of rambling here is a summary. There are always those of both gender who will never be satisfied. However not being satisfied with somethings is good and okay, because it can make you or your gender or race stronger and more valued. And btw Virginia was not boring at all. I liked her openness and frankness about her thoughts. She was very blunt and said what she felt, which had to have been hard at the time.
