Fair criticism, I'm just waxing philosophical about the whole thing, really, and appreciate the feedback. And no, I didn't mean those skills are only in SPs, my career involves working with a lot of self managed business owners which I love to do, and the SPs I have met have a lot of those qualities, and I'm thinking that the ones who are successful tend to have that in a larger proportion.
And yes, I'm not advocating anarchy, I'm just saying that I think a lot of givens we're taught and exposed to twist us in weird ways and create feelings of jealousy, rage, anger, hate, control, that may have had their place at a certain time, but we can and should do better. Propaganda works, mostly because we think we're to smart for propaganda to work on us.
Also in my 40s, have kids, professional career, long relationship (ended couple years ago, hence why I'm here), and just from talking to friends, clients, dates etc. I just think there's some deep seated mysogny and hangups about sex and this discussion around relationships and sex work seemed to highlight some interesting opinions. Just wanted to throw my two cents out after reading the thread and giving it some thought. I'm ready to be completely wrong though 😋
