Happy Valentine's day

February 14. The world outside is submerged in a strange, almost obsessive intent for festivity, wrapped in the red silk of expectations and the noisy glitter of promises that often dissolve before they are even fully spoken. But here, in this enclosed space of my internal dialogue, silence has a different taste—it is thick, almost palpable, like a prayer that has not yet found its words but has already filled my lungs. I watch how the light of the winter sun refracts through the glass, leaving long, pale traces upon the floor, and I think of Love—not as an event, not as a date on the calendar, but as an ontological necessity , as the only breath that justifies our presence in this world of shadows and reflections. The Feast of Love often finds us unprepared because we, in our human fragility, are accustomed to seeking it outside ourselves—in the gaze of the other, in the warmth of a hand, in the confirmation of our own significance through the presence of someone else.

The intersection point

 People of any gender can be intimidated or threatened by someone who they perceive as strong, confident, or assertive, regardless of the person's gender.

However, some women may be intimidated by strong men because they challenge traditional gender roles and expectations, which can be a threat to their sense of safety and power. For example, a strong, dominant man may make some women feel as though their opinions and decisions are not valued or heard.

It's important to note that this is a social and cultural issue, and not a universal truth or a trait inherent to all women. Many women respect and admire strong men and find their confidence and strength to be attractive and inspiring.

As with strong women, a man being strong doesn't necessarily mean he's aggressive or overbearing. Strength can take many forms, including emotional intelligence, assertiveness, and the ability to overcome challenges and adversity. Ultimately, it's up to each individual to determine their own definition of strength and what they find attractive in a partner or friend.

The intersection point where both strong men and strong women may be seen as intimidating or threatening to others is likely rooted in societal expectations and cultural norms around gender roles and power dynamics. When someone challenges these norms and defies traditional expectations, they may be perceived as a threat to the status quo, and this can lead to fear or intimidation.
