It begs the question(s)

I'm just gonna make a few quick statements about the (latest) Superhead video. Because, really, arguing/debating with people about this will only raise my blood pressure as it's all such bullshit.

1. People are mad about what exactly? That she called out Eddie Winslow and the shit was funny? I don't get it. What's the problem here?
2. Aside from being fucked up and sexist, calling her a ho is just fuckin corny. I don't know if I'm more offended at the sexism or the wackness of it. ("Women be shoppin")
3. Yea, yeah, I know. Blah blah blah. She used them on him. And blah blah blah. There's nothing wrong with anal stimulation. And prostate glands and yadda yadda yadda. That shit was still funny, son!!!!
4. No, seriously, why DID he leave his ass beads there?!?!? That was actually more ignorant than trying to diss her. You KNOW she always comes back. And she comes back hard!
5. Ultimately I would MUCH rather see her be healthy and not so terribly insecure, than have her drama to laugh at.

So after replying to Ice's entry I began to think a bit more about those make-or-break moments. I always maintained that disagreements (not to be confused with arguments) said a lot about a relationship (romantic or otherwise). How you navigate the difficult times say a lot about how you will navigate the easier times. And ultimately if you can disagree with someone and come out of it ok, that tends to be a sign that things are healthy and well. So I think, for me, one of the make-or-break moments is how I handle discrepancies with another person. Do I feel comfortable saying "I don't like this?" Do I feel heard? 'Cause I feel I encourage that kind of communication and make myself pretty accessible for any kind of thing someone would want to talk about: "pleasant" or otherwise.

Another make or break moment (and I think I've mentioned this before) is farting and burping. lol If you're on some old "ladies don't fart" shit, I'll have to walk away. Right before I fart in your face.

What is your "make-or-break" moment in ANY kind of relationship? Like that one thing that you feel "depending on how this goes determines how I feel about you and this relationship."

sexism, relationships
