@Lila9, I didn't say men didn't objectify. I tried to say that men can take responsibility of why they are only objectifying if they want to. But so too women can take responsibility of why they are making themselves objectified. However, you cannot take away people being attracted to others body. That's a fantasy. It very easy to Google stuff. Sure. But you are looking at it at a surface level. If those women in sports started questioning, they would understand that they were being made objects. They are going on with the conformity, but they think they are expressing themselves. And criticism of that conformity is deemed as controlling women's bodies, even though they are already being controlled and they don't want to take responsibility for putting themselves into that situation. It's very deceptive. Sorry, didn't keep my promise of not derailing the thread. I'll stop now.

@Lila9, watch sports. It's not only about revealing clothes. Notice that the clothes are made to make them more cute and more attractive. Then they should take responsibility for not making themselves viewed as sexual objects all the time if they want to. I would say that a lot of men wouldn't care about women's sports if women didn't wear clothes that make them sexually appealing. Well, men can take responsibility for always objectifying, but then if women are so upset about it, then maybe they should take some responsibility. If women want to play dumb when it suits them, then they shouldn't be so surprised. Again, I'm mainly talking about sports. Sorry, I won't continue, because we are derailing the thread.

Perhaps it can be, but then why aren't they trying not to make it more revealing? Why aren't men's clothes not as revealing as women's? Would you like it if men's clothes were as revealing as women's clothes? Wouldn't you get distracted or maybe disgusted? Do you want to solely watch sports to see who's more attractive?

Sure, but sports are physically demanding, not about trying to look attractive. The sportswear must be pragmatic. Looking attractive is the least they should care about. I was specifically talking about sports. I'm not trying to be being moralistic here.

@Raze, are they wearing niqabs somewhat for their own choice or because it has religious meaning to them? I see no problem with girls wearing those outfits for privacy reasons or perhaps some of them like those outfits for aesthetic reasons. But you can't say to me that they aren't wearing them for religious reasons or to not be shunned by their society most of the time. For example, Orthodox Christian girls wear a head covering when entering a church. That's conformity.

Some Americans think that they are the most racist country in the world.

I was more talking about wearing outfits in sports that are sexually suggestive out of conformity. It defeats the whole purpose of not being viewed as sexual objects most of the time. I'm not saying girls should wear a niqab: Wearing a niqab is also conformity, which, I think, dehumanizes girls.

Ugh 🙄 Yeah. 🙃 Doing makeup most of the time just to go outside is also crazy.

Some mental gymnastics.

I don't think that that's enough to make it a conformity. Actually, when you are part of some culture, you tend to be conformist to your culture. However, I think what's conformist about those people who talk about chakras is that they see themselves as non-conformists by adopting to some new language, as they don't like the type of conformity they were used to. I see that if you don't want to become aware of your own conformist tendencies, you'll adapt conformities even if they're outside of your own culture. Although, what you said makes sense if you see all people as conformists.

I hate it! They walk on sidewalks like they would walk in their house.

Perhaps they need to do the ones that last long.

I think the phenomena on DMT are of higher order. They are too beautiful. It's like being in a higher order of flow state.

It was so dumb that the cult leader killed herself by her own dumbness and the followers believed she was ascending to galactic whatever because the world doesn't love the mother, the true God. 😬 The mother God was always trying to find the true father God. 😄 They were using weed a lot.

Lately, I have this undeniable desire in me to have a superb epistemology. I want to shine light on how I know, without caring what burns along the way. I've never been this passionate about it.

From my observations of religious and cult followers, they confuse awakening with a hypnotic state. They love that state because it's not ordinary; it's something that they can anchor themselves to. It's their proof that they are on the right path. Of course they are right! Hypnosis works! However, they don't understand that in hypnotic states, the mind is very suggestible, which is the purpose of hypnosis. What makes those people hooked is the intense emotional experiences and clarity of who they are and their own purpose with those suggested ideas that hypnosis can provide. Hypnosis is an unconscious method because you don't use your metacognition and yet ideas are installed in your mind, which is not to say it's bad. But those people don't understand that. It's an intelligent trickery. People believing in BS doesn't say much.

Basically, Buddhafield started from hypnotherapy sessions. The cult leader was a hypnotherapist.
