Hey, he cheated your mother, not you! Your mother's life is her own life, not yours! You are not your mother! You and mother are two different persons, and you both have very different relationships with him - to one he was husband, and to another one he is father. Of course, I don't know what kind of person he really is. See yourself, if it is worth fixing the relationships. I myself had father, who cheated on my mother, but I had very good relationships with him, even though my mother didn't talk to him again since divorce. He was good person in general, he just made some mistakes. He wasn't abusive or anything like that. Father's support for me meant a lot, and I am happy, that I had him in my life. Unfortunately, he died this year from cancer. I miss him immensely. But hey, everyone's experience is different, and fathers as human beings also are different.

Russian?

I am not sure where you see me being "emotional". And my opinion is that you are the one, who is emotional. You also stated things which I don't consider as "facts", like calling female body as "disorder". Also, it's you, who has to get your life together. I feel like you are one of those people, who tend to project themselves into other people. Discussion with such people often goes into circular motion. It goes like this. You harass women, I call you out of it, you tell me that I harass you, I tell you, I am not, then the talk goes round and round about who is the harasser. Or, you first describe your own unkempt life, I respond, then you state that I "must get life together", even though it is pretty much gotten together, and that is what I mean by "projection". You project your own perceptions into other people. Anyway, I leave this chat. I have other things to worry about.

Inuit and selknam. Two opposite ends of the Americas. Interestingly, even though they both are clothed in furs, their clothing actually has nothing in common. Inuit clothing is actually sophisticated, it is pretty complex with various parts sewn together, covering almost all body parts (except face maybe). Selknam clothing, on other hand, looks like furs simply thrown over the shoulders.

First of all, criticism isn't "demeaning". I criticised, not more and not less. Secondly, what you wrote in OP about female body was fitting to the term "demeaning". You have to get your vocabulary straight. Only because you are a woman doesn't make you entitled to demeaning of female body or identity. Women are already suppressed in many societies in the world, and part of this suppression is done by women themselves. However, the biggest problem is the prevailing misogyny in many societies. But I can tell you that it's not like that everywhere! If there is unsafe environment for women to walk around in night time, the problem lies not in women or the biology, but in the society. I live in a town where I can walk around whenever I want, and I feel very safe here. Nobody touches me without my permission (except accidental bumps in busy places, like stepping on my toes). I know that women are respected in this society. We, women, make around 50% of society, and we are NORMAL. And I can't agree with what you write about female body or identity, because it would mean to agree to misogyny. I have two sons (which were "parasites" at some point in my belly, and still are the ones in some sense) and I will make sure that they grow up to be proper men, who respect women. Me and my husband will make sure of it, and he is setting the primary example, how to respect women. And I wish you all the best, and definitely look for a help, because we aren't supposed to be lonely creatures stuck in our thoughts. I wish you good luck!

You wrote about yourself, but you demean female body in overall sense. Read through again what you wrote. I am a feminist and I will not tolerate when someone regards women as a "pathology".

Nor you speak for all women. And what you write is just sick phantasy. We, women, are living longer in average, our bodies aren't disorder, and babies eventually get out of our wombs (and even our lives after a while). You are disrespectful to yourself and everyone else (except men). You need help.

Move to another country? Where women aren't held to such standards?

Get out of that toxic place if you can.

As a female I find your writing insulting.

Troll post.

I am 41 years old and still don't have driver's licence. The primary reason being money better spent on something else. We also live in a country were a car isn't a must.

Jewish comes to mind as the first thing.

Everywhere in Northern Europe.

Mythology is Jesus was born on 24th December, so therefore everybody celebrate Christmas, and there are traditions of eating clementines and giving gifts...Oh wait.

Actually, Latvia culturally is closer to Estonia than to Lithuania. Already a glance at a food tells a lot.

Just want to say that knit isn't the same thing as woven textiles. It's a technique how fabric is made. Most of hammocks are woven textiles. However, that thing apart I agree that wool can stretch (I guess alpaca also?), I guess it can happen even if you add some nylon for strength. That's a fair argument. I looked around in internet, I discovered that in some places in Asia (India, Vietnam) hammocks can be made out of cotton quilts.

Dude, you look more European than me with 30% Asian!

I have no experience with the old version with g1000, but I have the new Abisko Hike 35 with rip-stop. I have traveled with it quite a lot. I have used it as a hand luggage in airplanes. It has no scratch so far, and it is in perfect condition. I like that it is quite lightweight backpack. Very easy to carry around. I don't think it is very easy to break, except if you drag it along the stones and cliffs or something.

Why are you putting Estonia together with Finland, and "Baltics" seperately? Estonia is part of "Baltics", first of all, and Estonians often look more like Latvians than Finns, that's the second issue.

You remind me of one Udmurt guy with Russian admixture I know. Yes, the Finno-Ugric genes are visible in you! And they are confirmed in your DNA. By the way, what is your Y-chromosome haplogroup?

Many people aren't religious but are spiritual. That is, they still believe in something. It includes agnostic people. You, on other hand,sound like you are an atheist.

If you really want to work with world's problems and help people, and world in general, then education is a very good start. Go to study fields that offer you possibilities to work with various problems. Medicine, Law, Science, Sociology, Economy - all those are good choices. You can then get later to work in various organisations.

I am not a Muslim and from my perspective it's difficult to understand why veils could be a compulsory thing. On other hand, women in my family have been wearing headscarves (not hijabs, but those floral "babushka scarves") purely for practical reasons. Scarves are great in shielding head against various outdoor elements (wind, sun, even mosquitoes). Lately, however, the scarves have become more and more thing of the past in majority of non-Muslim areas and nowadays I can be mistaken for a Muslim, if I wear scarf on my head. I feel like both cases (forcing scarves and the opposite, shunning them) are the extremes. I wish that scarves were just a normal part of clothing that can be put on or off whenever and wherever woman feel like that. These are my opinions.
