The more conscious a woman becomes, the less of a desire she has to find a partner, or to be with someone who does not add to her life.
She will go thru process of ridding herself from old patterns of caving into societal norms,

I still want to see the plans for hospitals, schools, help for trauma, lost limbs, rebuilding and housing at the same prices they were, not priced out of existence. I want to see justice

I appreciate the context but I've got him blocked anyway. I dont get the funnies of it, certainly not after a 39a bus driver telling me to fuck off back north and not take your jobs....

Incidentally I was commenting about him, not you. I appreciate your context. But when you've received quite a bit of abuse in Dublin first your accent IRL....he should be aware the rest of the world isn't up to Dublin nuances:)

It actively hurts me, that they've done this. A few months ago I found photos of my granny's brother, and his German wife who died in Dachau. I imagine had they survived, lived in Israel. Him as Irish. How would he have coped with the knowledge of the Nakba?
