This is obviously intended to be provocative, and it is, but I agree with a lot of your points. I don't want the same rights as men. I want rights granted to me without regard to gender. That's it. A neutral

I am grateful for @discovery-it's support! It's a wonderful thing that the community goes around and encourages so many on Hive. Thank you!

it's a little different That's about the best recommendation you could make to me :))

I'm with you :) Most people will choose the security over the freedom. Not me.

This looks like fun. I just watched the trailer (intrigued by your review). Last line on the trailer is, "They're watching". Ok, so I'm ready to be scared. From your review I'm guessing this

how we are subjugated to existence Yes, thank you. Kind of boring, maybe, but we write what is on our minds and this is where my mind is right now :) Thanks for commenting

Thank you @zoe1 and @ecency!

not because you happen to be trapped indoors by a storm 😄 You never know. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and need distraction. This might be it :))

Thank you @mayt and @topcomment!

Thanks very much for reading, @jayna. I guess you could categorize this as an allegory. I know it's not really pleasant reading, but it was something I had to get out. No happy ending here. Just life ;)

Hello @gabmr, Thank you for reading my story :) I've been thoughtful lately. Life is such a puzzle. You have to wonder, don't you? I was greatly influenced in my youth by a Spanish writer, Miguel de Unamuno.

I am wary of movies where the setting is an obvious draw--unless it's Africa, the English countryside or the American West :)) Venice is just too obvious, unless one uses it as a backdrop for decadence

I don't know what it says about me that I love these photos. They are real. They say something about you, about the way you feel. They are intrinsic. Not staged. When I have those days this is exactly

Kind of comes down to which vision do we choose to be a slave to? I think it's the illusion of choice that I cling to. Anyone who knows me would tell you that if a crowd is heading in one direction, I

Thank you!! Sometimes I start thinking. Fiction seems to be a good outlet for my ruminations :))

I would go into the forest. But then, I'm old. What would I choose if I were young?

Thank you. I thought readers might find it strange, but it passed my husband's test, so I figured it was not too strange. Yes, he chose the freedom of dying in the forest, on his own terms. He chose struggle
