i’m torn about this image. on the one hand, it feels true. but i also used a text translator to figure out what it says:

вот так и встретились

деградация и ванять

That’s how we met - degradation and vanity

so this got me thinking … is it really a degradation? i’m torn about this, because i tend to think that women are the best creatures in existence, so it’s more of an improvement than a degradation. on the other hand, does this view maybe fall short of the universal approach that i try to have about all my ideas? what if it is not universally true that women are better, but only my personal view? what if somebody else can have a legitimately different viewpoint? and what if “vanity” is indeed the ulterior motive? is vanity an acceptable quality in this fast-moving world?

what’s your thoughts about this?

    Good and bad people come in all sorts of shapes, woman, man and everything in between. Still having opinion about this falls down to expirience during life and teaching while growing up, and while it is ultimately you who makes the decision it is based on the former in it of itself.

    Having opinions usually reflect the little world you live in, and while they are here as a generalization of a subject, don’t make them dictate your life as there are exceptions to every rule.

    What I’m trying to say in a roundaboud way is that, while I don’t agree with you, it is not me who you should be asking this, as I am unfamiliar with your country, town, way of growing up etc. If you want to know if you’re in the right or wrong it is best to ask someone who is close to you, like family or close friends, or a profesional in the field. Not a rando on a internet who knows nothing of your life. This way you will just get many conflicting answers from people with their own circumstances and none of your own.

    Still what humans do well is judge by our own standards so in the end we do end up forcing our ideas and morals on others and majority always rules. I’m more of an exception than a standard.
