As well as disliking the fact women pick on short men or men going through financial issues, I also detest this whole "she's a 10, but.." phenomenon, which is clearly intended to make women feel inferior and insecure. A 10 to me is not a 10 to someone else. Values, loyalty, and personality play a major part. If you are a beautiful woman or a tall, presentable man, the idea is to carry yourself well, not make others feel even more insecure within a society that's already doing its best to demoralise them. If you think that you're a "10" then you're already ahead and will most likely live quite a good life, so why not lead by example and be thankful. In this world, talented or fortunate people are only liked or looked up to if they carry their fortune or talent well. No matter how beautiful or talented you are, lack of humility will turn respect to resentment. As if a job interview or wage bracket, people are now categorising themselves into places that define their happiness or their lack thereof. Aspire to be the best you can and, if possible, lift people up. I can assure you, a great many so-called "10s" are anything but, whilst many of the humble women who've been made to feel less important, are. The more feminine, kind, motherly, loving, and the more loyal a woman is, the more attractive she becomes. If this doesn't apply to you, then you deserve the shallow, narcissistic world in which you're destined to live. 🤝

I'm tired of hearing people blame the unnessecery misery of historical hardships on "the past." The fact is, if the government had been genuine over the last few centuries, and had put the well-being of it's people ahead of all else, not only would no-one have needed to suffer, or needlessly die in order to build a financial, and autocratic monopoly for a handful of underseving names, but, being happy, they'd have made a far better world than the one we know today.

I can not emphasise enough just how much better London would be if architecture was still treated as an art form.
