Yes, this! This quote from OP has really started to bother me:Oombongo wrote:And quit referring to those retarded set of rules formerly known as "culture". Those rules have no significant value in this age, and they were made by people long gone. Heck, they might in our gas tanks sitting as fossil fuel. Do what you like and enjoy what you do.
In what sick, sadistic view is keeping yourself healthy "enjoying yourself" and not "putting others first", and "reflecting badly on the family"???? And you want to follow that????? Yea, yea... women are supposed to be martyrs... but seriously! Wouldn't it be truly putting others first if one sees that one is fit and healthy so one can take care of the children and elderly? Apparently not in their view.I come from a culture where taking this kind of medication is a 'no-no' as women past the age of marriage and children are expected to put others (ageing parents, kids, grandkids, the community) first and not 'enjoy themselves' as it would reflect badly on the family.
