 I've been hearing women talk in this "defensive careerism" manner my entire life, without digesting what they were REALLY saying. And without considering why I don't feel the need to do likewise (I own my own appreciating property and he regularly buys me more.)

It's a societal noise that is destroying the marital signal, but this is something Bitcoin really could fix. 
 Athing that I think may be true: 

The problem with living from a position of defensive anything is that it leads to pernicious narcissism. The issue is that in defensive posture everything is processed through the lens of threat to self. It values securing self above everything. Makes relationships very hard to navigate on both sides and almost impossible if both partners are so afflicted. 
 Yup. 💯

I'm too much of an engineer to just say "Stop being afraid," tho. Why should they stop, if the situation that incited the fear didn't change? 
 thats why they are stuck is my guess. 
 Then I suppose it's a good thing that I'm a single dad.  
 hahaha thats one way to look at it. Priorities are well aligned anyway. 
 According to @Laeserin I'm misogynistic. So... I don't know! 🤷‍♂️🤣

 How much attention do you need? 
 LOL run out of arguments, I see. 
 No 
 Don't care. Done with you. 
 Same with you. 
 You poor lonely thing. 
 This character and the human are both my kryptonite. I actually cried when she had throat surgery. weird I know but Mary bin my girl from short pants days 
 I loved her in The Sound of Music, but Mary Poppins was also fantastic. 
 the filming technique they used to create the cartoon world immersion was lost until recently. It makes green screen look primitive. eg. you can see background clearly through her sheer head scarf. cool trick with a prism and using a yellow soda light. 
 I actually rewatched it a couple of weeks ago and it's quite impressive, I agree.
