I had a realization today that these concepts truly go so far beyond teaching women how to reclaim their power- they likely have saved women's lives.

When you level up, and separate yourself from needing another person's resources or validation, you are literally rescuing yourself. You become out of reach for anyone to exploit you, because you've met your own requirements to be happy.

A high value partner wants someone in their lives that they cherish and respect. A negative/ low value partner wants someone in their lives that they DO NOT respect, whether consciously or unconsciously. They see you as a means to an end. It eventually becomes dehumanizing, transactional, and extractive. Love- real love- cannot live under these conditions. This is the vacuum that nature abhors.

The internal conflict within them between wanting to be paired up and simultaneously wanting to feel superior to their partner, creates cognitive dissonance. Often, especially in men, it turns into anger. That anger easily leads to hostility. That hostility can manifest as violence.

When we demand respect, effort, quality, and reciprocity from our connections with others- we take ourselves out of the line of fire. By thorough vetting, courtship and unwavering expectations we protect ourselves from potential dangers.

I'm so thankful for this community, what I've learned about myself, and the work being done here. I have no doubt in my mind we are not only saving women's hearts, minds, wombs, futures and bank accounts- we are saving lives.
