    Artist Diane Goldie awakens to the fact that the 36-old-boyfriend she had at 13 was a pedophile and that she used sex to shield her from her pain throughout her life. Now, Diane is a 51-year-old feminist, asserting her visibility with her bold style.

    11:12 "If your body works, stop beating yourself up. There's beauty in just being alive. Stop fretting about getting old, it means you're still here. That's a privilege."
    What a message. What a message especially for young women struggling with self acceptance. To hear this from a woman who has lived and can say, "If it works, don't beat yourself up."
    I'm so happy she agreed to share her story.

      +MissJoyceMD Word, some people really have 'too much' in life they dont even start to think , how it to live without, or with less, with a body that is sick, loss etc etc. It's weird how many need to lose before they can see or appreciate what they do have. Just thinking, being sincere will get you there, being really real.
      Nothing is more sexy than that.

    As a man, this bothers me: that there are not more positive responses from men. I am in love with a woman...a woman who I would give anything to and anything for but she, in no way belongs to me. If there is anything that she accepts from me, I hope that it's wings because she could only be more beautiful if she were flying. I've even told her if she ever decides to leave at least gift me to watch her flight from the ground.

      I am a very strong woman, only weak women can have their strength be threatened. A woman with real strength never has her strength threatened to be taken away because no one messes with them because they know they can't be messed with. The woman in the video is not a strong woman, she is very vulnerable even still.

      To who? Not I, not a role model to me, and I'm an independent women in the sciences, I am what feminist want every women to be but trust and believe it is not the golden palace you've been told of. I wish I was more feminine, I wish I was more motherly because I do enjoy the role, it's just not something I naturally do. And what's she a role model for? For being selfish? What type of role models do you look up to? I role model should never be selfish or unapologetic those are very anti-social though patterns. A role model should be a leader not someone who pretends to be one. A role model should be selfless and have great success through hard work and preservation.

      A role model is personal. You don't get to decide on what and who a role model is to other people. And to answer your first question- to me. She's a role model to me. Maybe you wish you were more feminine and 'motherly' or whatever, but there's plenty of us who don't give a fleeting fuck about that. To those of us, she is a role model.

When all my constructs started falling away is when I completely fell apart, I had no more facade to hide behind and it was soul shattering.

    This makes me have so much appreciation for my boyfriend. Not that I would have lacked it before, but still. He loves me unconditionally. Sometimes I still try to hide my weaknesses, but really, there's no need. She said it well: "it's ridiculous how much this man loves me". That is exactly how I feel. I can't understand how he can love me so much. But it makes me at least like myself more, maybe even love myself, knowing he really loves me to the core, no matter what...

    • @writerforlifeify
      @writerforlifeify Před 8 lety

      +Zinetha You're blessed to have unconditional love in your love in the form of your boyfriend. He's there for a reason--to encourage you to love yourself. But it (for me) begs the question: if you had truly loved yourself all along, had you been totally comfortable in your own skin long before you ever met your bf, would your paths have crossed in the first place? How will the dynamic of the relationship evolve once you feel as much love for yourself as he feels for you? It's an interesting question, I think.
      One day you'll understand that not only do you deserve love but you ARE love; our souls are composed of nothing else....but love. That which holds itself at the greatest possible distance from love is fear....fear of love. And the fear of love is specifically the fear of not deserving love.

      I didn't understand what you meant with the end of your comment, but I've also thought about my self-esteem and my relationship and how they affect each other. I am probably the most confident now that I've ever been before, not including early childhood when most of us think nothing is impossible. I've been through a lot and a particular experience in my life is one that in general, psychology experts say a person will get totally over when the person is in his/her 40s. I'm 24 on Thursday this week. I'm excited to see how I'll be in 15 years.
      I love him, too. He's my soulmate. We match very well. We were friends first for about a year before becoming a couple. We were both in a relationship with other people. Those relationships ended, after that we became a couple. People who meet us for the first time think that we've been together like 10 years or something, but really we just had our three-year anniversary of dating yesterday, literally. We've also lived together for two of those years.
      I don't think we'll ever break up. Miracles do happen, but I can't see a possible reason for us to ever break up. :)

      +Zinetha It's possible that on a soul level you & your bf have been together forever. You've just been physically connected for 3 earth years...but time itself is a lie, isn't it? The poet, Rumi, said "lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along." So your souls were always entwined no matter where either of you physically were; you were bound together even prior to your respective births, in which case you were 'bound' to meet. How long any couple stays together depends on how long the relationship serves their spiritual growth.
      You will both, over time, either grow together OR you will grow apart. And if you ever do part, nothing really has ended other than the relationship....meaning that you'll always be tied on a soul level but your dissolution as a couple will simply morph into other new beginnings in your alignment with your true Self. It's a lifelong journey & everyone you meet on your path is a teacher. It is said that there are basically 2 types of people who will cross your path: those who give you energy & those who take your energy, thereby depleting you. Let go of those who drain you but be grateful for those who in any way help to awaken you to your own Truth.
      In the last portion of my prior post, I was referring to the belief that nothing exists outside of love; love is ALL there is. Listen to Jim Carrey's Harvard Commencement speech sometime; he speaks at length about this very theme, especially near the end of the video. Basically, every choice/decision you ever make will be love-based or fear-based--there are NO exceptions, ever. Carrey famously said that "most people choose their career paths out of fear disguised as practicality." Anyway, my point is that you ARE love at your core & the antithesis of love is fear, which is always fear of (not deserving)love. There is ample literature on this subject. : )

I'm not drinking, I'm not smoking weed to ignore how much I hate myself anymore, and I eat till I'm full, and I won't let any boy dictate who I should be, or how I should act, I'd rather be alone and be social, wich I am now cause I'm not hiding in my home to avoid temptaion like food or alcohol anymore!

      +Dave Clarke I just meant that we often judge other people, and assume that they don't really have much to offer, are not really intelligent and wise, or worthy of our attention. I know in the past if I saw someone like her, I'd just assume she probably has her head in the clouds and is just wandering through life. then you see a video like this and it shatters any assumption you have of someone solely based on their appearance

    • @daveclarke4609
      @daveclarke4609 Před 8 lety +3

      Thank you for clarifying that Isabelle.
      Please take a closer look at Diane Goldie - google her name and see what comes up - both in terms of sites and images. She really is unique - there's no one like her!
      More generally speaking, I know what you are saying and I think it is a common problem, as you say.
      I think capitalism is to blame because the mechanics of the system requires that people are pushed into that kind of thinking - this is so that people spend money on things they don't need, in the never ending quest to conform/ be 'better looking'/'in fashion', etc.
      Make-up, hair, cosmetic surgery, the new season's fashionable clothes - the multi billions spent on these things (and more) annually, as well as fashion magazines, advertising and other spin offs - the creation of misery over our bodies is utterly deliberate - the fuel that keeps the fire of capitalism burning.
      The system relies on ever-increasing spending' in order to continue functioning. Spending on necessities isn't sufficient to fuel that furnace - spending has to be on things we don't need. The pushing of the superficial has created mass unhappiness with our bodies, faces, hair - judging ourselves (and others) makes us (and them) spend. It's an agenda. It creates judgement and misery - it's great that your eyes have been opened to that by Diane's video. It's a real gift to stop judging others - and also ourselves! Hugs to you :)

    Lovely having a menopause-age woman on here.
    She has so much wisdom and I'm shocked by what she's been though.
    I'm finding myself daydreaming that she is/was my mother and I grew up with her positive message.
    Also, what an interesting observation: asking "what is your favourite part of your body?" absolutely relies on the answerer reviewing themself as an object. And usually the answer will be the parts that most fit the socially upheld idea of beauty (e.g. "I like my skinny waist"). I can't imagine asking a man such a question, because we (or at least I) don't tend to expect the average man to objectify himself.

    • @suzannel8926

      +Those Things That's weird how menopause is considered bad, because when men are in their peak levels of testosterone in late teens and early 20, they cause more fatal car accident and deaths from fighting than anybody else, but when women go back to pre puberty hormone levels which should make them less slaves to hormones, it's considered bad. Women live longer than men and that could be because hormones play less of a part in ruling their life.

    • @dreamylittlethings
      @dreamylittlethings Před 8 lety

      Suzanne S That's a interesting point, I hadn't considered it before. It is weird.

    • @MissNymwhen
      @MissNymwhen Před 8 lety +14

      Yes off course. And when you have a lot of sex most of the time it IS bad for you mentally. But we are fighting lut shaming. She talks about this man who loves her and asks her if she's happy like this WITHOUT judging. That 'sluts' are damaged a lot of the times is even more reason for me to never judge them. Sexual liberation is about people doing what they want and still being seen as a human with hopes and dreams. Because seeing sex as something bad and dirty and if you have it too much you are damaged goods, is even worse for you.

    • @Endoptic
      @Endoptic Před 8 lety +3

      So ignore the damage and preach the cause as sacrosanct? Subjecting yourself to these damaged people is also damaging, male or female. Someone who's striped their own gears doesn't deserve to demand someone else to fuck up or brag/whine without criticism and outright bully non-compliers. That's exactly what "sex positive" bullshit is about. It rejects critical thought and demands mindless obedience like a goddamn religion. There's nothing liberating about it.
      Men don't get to demand intimacy or sex. What's with advocating for self-damaged women demanding special rights to fuck up men's lives for sex and the pretense of intimacy they're no longer capable of? Refusing to date such women sure as hell is regarded as "slut shaming" all by itself.
      I refuse to be dutifully blind to danger or have attraction dictated to me for gynocentric politics/fashion. I won't put up with brodurrhood idiots homoerotically dictating to my love life (or life in general). I'm sure as hell not putting up with the festering cisternhood using me as a host/drone for their myopic, hypocritical, and inevitably parasitic causes. I'm a person with my own nature and values that no one gets to outvote.
      Also, I'm not anyone's junk-heap. I'm not proud to be crashed on by some (often proudly) cored-out, myopic bitch (temporarily...) tired of the cock carousel. Ubiquitously standard creepshaming of men covers both slutshaming and prudeshaming, and "sex positivists" double-down on that shit for double-binds to enforce female emotion (or claims thereof...) over male existence all the time. Don't want to date a slut? How dare you! Want to get laid but don't want to hang around kissing someone's ass for no sex? How dare you! Notice both only apply if you're male. Female emotion is sacred (unless the local femdom outvotes her), so they get special choices with impunities. It's sick and warped, NOT liberating. Nudging females into intimacy crushing sluthood and gynocentric delusions that dehumanize male relations is just the other side of the dogma's insane costs.
