I told him that it is artistic license, and white privilege. I didn't mention male privilege, but I was probably already pushing my luck because he was a cowboy from Texas who probably believes in things like manifest destiny and the like.<br />Whywudyabreedithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12069453160852561143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-59890873413142225482012-11-21T11:59:37.604-07:002012-11-21T11:59:37.604-07:00Froggie made me smile too.

It kept me from graduating university. That, and the complete disillusionment that I wasn't going to become a world class biologist who is was going to live in a tent surrounded by lions and zebras... <br /><br />I feel like I'm in good company here. <br /><br />This is off topic but it's been bugging me...

We're the ones who worry about those rainclouds because we have washing on the line, and whether the next load might be starting to smell if we don't get home to hang it out soon. What's in that crockpot, and whether we have the right vegetables at home to make a side salad or potatoes. WHat forms we might have to sign for the kid/s for school tomorrow. Whether we have suitable things for their lunches. Dental appointments. House cleaning for an upcoming party. Buying a birthday card for someone. On and on and on...<br />Although things are changing a bit for the better, these things are still very much put on us. Could you concentrate better if you'd had most of the shitwork looked after for you for most of your life, and you're just expected to concentrate on your paid work (and for the big K, that's what riding is)? That's what male privilege looks like. It's not some kind of essentialist genetic predisposition to multitask. It's a mental habit learned over years. Media types and pop psychologists love to describe these traits "hard-wired" becuase then there's no need to address any structural inequality.Helenhttp://castironbalcony.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380534023229200743.post-8412764271064844992012-11-20T11:54:28.754-07:002012-11-20T11:54:28.754-07:00Just read comments -- Tansy, hahaha!

The more I learn about ADD the more I think it's a blessing-curse. I think the trick is to work with it, not against it. <br /><br />A lot of my riders have ADD. There's something about it that works well with horses. We have to be in the moment when we're with horses.<br /><br />But I'm still struggling with it. I've always got 14 things on my mind and I still find it hard to empty everything except what I actually want to be doing.

That was one of the things I loved about it, no matter what else happened in my life, it all disappeared when I got on my horse.<br /><br />Now I'm not so good at focusing, I don't know if it's age or lack of practice. I enjoyed reading this post a lot, but after I read the part about the crock pot, I thought, "It's been a long time since I used my crock pot, I wonder what Mugs was cooking that day?"
