It's unfortunate the author doesn't like the word "control". Most women or at least brassiere wearing individuals love the word control and are thankful that body parts of a feminine nature can be controlled with under garments. Flip that narrative my siblings.

I was walking down 42nd Street in NYC once and some tourists stopped me and asked me for direction on how to get to Broadway. Why was this remarkable? I was wearing my big puffy Green Bay Packer jacket and I did not look anything like the other New Yorkers I walked amogst. Something about being a Packer fan made me safe to ask for directions. So, in true, midwest nice fashion, I pointed north and said, you need to turn right and head up one block then over another and you will start to see the lights of Broadway. You're headed in the right direction. Keep going. And I'm 100% sure they found Broadway.
In order to verbally express our emotions, it is important that we develop an emotional vocabulary.
I recommend the course Emotional Intelligence to broaden this vocabulary.

Babies
We say "babies" but truly they are always adults in training. It's important to support their individual expression with patience, understanding and firm boundaries. Love should be a constant without constant need to impose displays of affection.
Cowboy
For me, as a child, my father identified as a cowboy, so I thought all cowboys were taxidermists from Chicago. When I was a young adult, my viewpoint shifted when I was stationed at Malmstrom AFB in Montana where our friends and neighbors were ranchers and cattlemen. Cattlemen is a unisex term that's inclusive and means everybody who tend cattle. This includes women, girls, sisters, mother, grandmothers and aunties and cousins. Cattlemen.

This is th e moment I stopped reading and took the dog outside to throw ball. I once cried in an apartment in Maryland, for a dog. I have him now, I'm going to go throw ball with him now.
The Meaning of Meaning
I accept that the meaning of life is to give my dog a really good life. That is why we're here.
You’ll recall
This feels like one of those insertion moments in Fight Club where the movie has a splice in it. Demand for recall is a slippery slope when dealing with people who process or are cognitively capable to recall differently. Great care should be excercised when making demands on the reader's memory. Cut that out and give us the info. Don't stand and jog as we're processing. Don't deman recall. We're not 12. This class is probably aged 17+. Talk to us as grown-ups talk with one another. This is downwards speech and only sets to separate the reader from the writer. Be kind dear writer. Be kinder.

junior year of college, I took a course in semantics, which focused on verbal language and solidified my interest in language.
Fascinating, me too. I, as well took an advanced English Course that was an elective on Semantics. Part of our first assignment was to query everyday people in our sphere of influence and ask them "What is semantics?" At the time I was working at Six Flag NJ and the responses I received were "a little antics, not a lot" which wasn't entirely inaccurate given that "Semantics is the manipulation of language in order to illicit a desire response from the receiver." Required texts included books by George Carlin.

sigh, it's weird that the text needs this narrative at all Disappointing This text is disappointing
The fat acceptance movement has been around for more than thirty years, but it has more recently gotten public attention due to celebrities like Oprah Winfrey and Kirstie Alley, who after years of publicly struggling with weight issues have embraced a view that weight does not necessarily correspond to health.
A) Kirstie Alley is deceased, poor example B) Oprah is on Ozempic, so there's that
Looks like the fat shaming is back in style and because everyone on earth seems to believe we should be aspiring to be Oprah and Kirstie, they are pushing a toxic narrative to the farmer, the baker, the candlestick maker. Was this book written by Capitalists. If so, I have a poem for the occasion. I am a humanist.

Just looking at Facebook as an example
Is this text operating under the awareness that Facebook was a platform designed by priveleged white men at an elite ivy league college and then had the platform stolen by the present owner of Meta, Mark Zuckerburg? The platform was designed as a way for men to judge and vote on the faces of their elite, ivy league female counterparts.
Gross.

The representations we see in the media affect our self-perception
The "media" is a propaganda property owned by individuals or investors who pay or buy words from individuals who are seen as loyal, trustworthy and authority figures to disseminate information in a palatable and digestable fashion that won't be rejected by the masses.
Biracial individuals may have challenges with self-perception as they try to integrate both racial identities into their self-concept.
And again, why is this? Is it because those of who identify as biracial have faced bias and mistreatment from both sides. Too light to be a dark skinned person. Too dark to be white. Must be mixed, therefore rejected by both societies. Forced to create ones own identity.

I'm 100% theres a buttload of things that men are more likely to do than women because we couldn't vote, own a credit card or even get divorced at one point. Some of these within my lifetime. So, we should always remember how long ago it was that divorce was finally legalized and women could own a credit card. Tell me what year was ERA ratified? How long did that take? What was the result?

See how only 2 of those are engendered? The rest could be literally anybody.
Imagine that a professor has maintained a relatively high level of credibility with you over the course of the semester. She made a good first impression by being organized, approachable, and interesting during the first days of class. The rest of the semester went fairly well with no major conflicts. However, during the last week of the term, she didn’t have final papers graded and ready to turn back by the time she said she would, which left you with some uncertainty about how well you needed to do on the final exam to earn an A in the class. When you did get your paper back, on the last day of class, you saw that your grade was much lower than you expected.
This is literal reality. I figured it was part of how it works and this was just normal instructor behavior.

This text operates from a very slanted, biased and tilted male perspective that doesn't leave room for anyone not male or female. This text feels dated and in alignment with my authentic earth experiences. It feels very male heavy and uses the word "we" but it's not inclusive. It feels weighty to have to navigate male expectations for conversations and communications when some males are bereft of the capacity to communicate adequately. Yes, everyone does need work, but women have not been at the top of the food chain ever and this text heavily reflects this narrative. Difficult to digest.
She has had some questions along the way and has e-mailed Joe for clarification and input, but he hasn’t responded.
Because Joe is priveledged to be male. His priveledge exempts him from having to put in extra hours and dedicated study due to his "top of the food chain" status compared to his counterpart who may have children to care for in addiction to working outside the home. The likelihood that Joe had childcare responsibilities or the awareness of his priveledged status in comparison to Linda who presents as gendered female is unlikely. She is likely getting 30% less in pay as Joe, but more is expected of her as she is not in the same position of privelege as Joe.

"We" who is "we"? I don't see representation in the text. I see division and exclusion. I do not ascribe to this form of "we'ism".

Are there any women in this world?
During the adjourning stage, a group dissolves because its purpose has been met, because membership has declined or the group has lost support, or due to some other internal or external cause. It is important that groups reflect on the life of the group to learn any relevant lessons and celebrate accomplishments.
The covid-19 pandemic brought many adjournments to the forefront of public consiousness. We have moved into the mourning phase of what is no more, but once was.
During the performing stage, group members work relatively smoothly toward the completion of a task or the achievement of their purpose, ideally capitalizing on the synergy that comes from the diverse experiences group members bring to the decision-making process.
During the performing stage, you will find most of the high conflict individuals not set to group purpose have either backed away from the group entirely or have set themselves in opposition to the group. It is not unusual for sub-groups or group splits occur to give broader definition of purpose. This is evidence of group growth and factions and splits are not atypical.
During the norming stage, the practices and expectations (norms and rules) of the group are solidified, which leads to more stability, productivity, and cohesion within the group.
If the high conflict individuals fail to find purpose in step 2, the storming stage, they may attempt to make combative styles of communication the new normal in this norming phase. It's important to group cohesion and direction of purpose to avoid high conflict individuals holding leadership positions.
During the storming stage, conflict emerges as group members begin to perform their various roles, have their ideas heard, and negotiate where they fit in the group’s structure. Conflict is inevitable and important as a part of group development and can be productive if it is managed properly.
It's during this stage that group members are typically acting out their roles, often without comprehension that they have stepped into a formative role.
During the forming stage, group members engage in socially polite exchanges to help reduce uncertainty and gain familiarity with new members. Even though their early interactions may seem unproductive, they lay the groundwork for cohesion and other group dynamics that will play out more prominently in later stages.
The essential building block to group formation is definition of group goals,combined purpose and objectives that the group sets to achieve cohesively. This step requires agreement in it's broadest form.
The five stages of group development include forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning.
I feel the sixth stage is where people are actively mourning the group. Where phrases such as "the good ole days" and "back in my day." It wasn't so much the day as it was the cohesive groups they formed and maintained that lived their natural life to conclusion.
