My Kind of Field

in #photography6 years ago

Bravely ignoring my diligently cultivated image of toxic masculinity*, I made these two photos to show you the most Monet-ty flower field I have ever seen in real life in The Netherlands:

Thanks for watching!

* Recently used as a reproach on Steemit, I kid you not. They are coming; prepare!

And what about toxic feminity? :)

It abounds, even in some manners of man. I suspect it is far more politically correct though.

I'd say at least a combination of the following can be called toxic femininity:

  • Prioritizing feelings over rational thinking;
  • As a continuation to the above, having an overabundance of irrational empathy towards a person or group of people, which leads to bad outcomes;
  • Disloyalty;
  • Selfishness;
  • Having the seemingly voracious need to not only express one's feelings, but also forcing others to listen, even against their will;
  • Being problem-focused, instead of solution-focused

There are other factors, as well. And before anyone gets mad, I'm not saying all women are disloyal and selfish; I'm saying that they are feminine traits.

There are also positive feminine traits.

Such as being good at doing the dishes. Much appreciated.

One does one's best to strike a nerve 8-).

How dare you bring toxic masculinity to Steemit.

I didn't bring it here; it was Ats-david who started it all, really, it was, I swear. He's also the one who got reproached.

Now stop interrupting me, I'm reading your new chapter.

All I’m going to say is, I fucking hate modern times.

Yeah, there's way too much toxic femininity about. It's getting hard to breathe normally.

Simply beautiful, @ocrdu! Glad to see you still posting :)

What happened here, the payouts seem rather low?

Not sure about all the reasons for that, but there we are. Some are doing very well indeed though, it seems.

Are you back or just dropping by?

Just dropping by, I'm still working six days a week, so no time for photography. But I see you're still here, posting great photos, so that's good!

A bit sad for all the millionaires here, I did warn them that Steem would drop after all the laundering is done, but they didn't hear. I guess it's still full of spammers and reposters though?

Vote buyers, spammers, scammers, reward pool drainers, bots, all present, but there's also some decent folk here.

Howdy. Just stopping in on the back of an @ocrdu post, to see if you are still 'out there' somewhere, and ever coming back to Steemit. Miss your take on life, great photos and humor. The site is still plugging along, albeit slowly and with a lot of BS. But I keep on keepin' on as best I can, and stay out of the fray for the most part. Hope all is well in your corner of the world these days. Cheers, dd

That is absolutely stunning @ocrdu and definitely my kind of field too. 😊 😱 😊

Pretty, no? I'll post some detail shots tomorrow if I don't forget.

You can't beat wild flower meadows in my opinion @ocrdu. 😁

Congratz, your post has been resteemed and, who knows, will maybe appear in the next edition of the #dailyspotlights (Click on my face if you want to know more about me...)

And what about toxic feminity? :)

the color is bright, pleasing to the eye.

I don't know monet but these do look french art.

He's the one people always mistake for Manet.

Lol, no way man! Someone said such a thing? To you?

No, to Ats-david, who repeated the compliment aiming it at me.

The crowd that thinks in such terms is here. Prepare yourself.

And really: Toxic? Moi? I'm Mostly Harmless. Exquisitely masculine though, there is that, of course.

Lol, that's quite funny. I hope they don't find me. I don't think my use of childish sweary words would go down at all well!

You'll probably be placed in the old-school Male-Chauvinist-Pig category, I suspect, but I am no specialist in such matters.

I have heard of these things but to be one. Wow! I must think on this

Meh. Not worth the time.

Nice job.
It looks like a real picture.
