You Have Heard About High Value Women, But Do You Know About High Agency Women?

I kinda liked this article. Not a fan of some of their examples of high-agency people (Steve Jobs, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Cardi B - not three people I hold in high moral regard). But I do love that quote: "I shall either find a way, or make one." That's badass.

I love the idea of a woman forging ahead just as much as the next gal, but I thought this article was a little odd, to be honest. It has some very insidious LibFem undertones. Not a fan.

True agency is great, but no woman will ever find real agency in sex work, where her income is dependent on making a man’s dick happy. And Arnold Schwarzenegger is and always will be a cheating LVM.

These were just examples, I guess, but they were very weird examples.🤔

That's an interesting perspective. From now on, I will not even concern myself with anything other than making sure I get what I and my daughter want and need. How simple was that ? How simple was it to just realize that I've been set back by others' words like a grown elephant being held back by a stake.

I consider myself one, big time. Grew up in a very small, rural town in Louisiana, knew I always wanted out, Out, OUT, got out. Mind you, I got lucky: I have inherited four times in my life! I will inherit again once my dad passes, so yeah, this is unusual. I invested that money, bought a condo in west Los Angeles back in 1999 when housing was still affordable, made other investments, educated myself about money even though big numbers and money still scares me a bit. I've been to 29 countries, had two careers and am starting a third here in my home state, and as a former teacher, I do more before noon than a lot of people do in a week.

And, as a woman who grew up in the Deep South, I have always been one of those women who just works around other people, especially men. Tell me I can't do something? Watch me do it and surpass others. I get shit DONE.

I'm a little intimidated by a new state, new school system, new school, new students, after a year and a half of not teaching (remote does NOT count), and six years of not teaching this grade level, but I have 26 years' experience under my belt. This year, I'll create 40 weeks worth of quizzes, grade five classes' worth of homework every week, prepare a whole new curriculum, and survive. And I hope to make it to a few SCA events, keep doing my own art, keep my house clean and tidy, take care of my cats, and help my elderly father, my sister, and my niece and her family.
