Bio

Hello! I’m Mya, a 24-year-old female Verified Listener for Adults and a Community Mentor for the Women’s Issues Community.

I speak both French and English and am deficated about providing a safe and supportive space for those in need. I strive to ensure all interactions are respectful, free from discrimination, and rooted in empathy. As a feminist, I am committed to offering a space where everyone feels heard and valued.

Please note, I am not currently taking live chats unless requested beforehand, and I do not handle chats related to sexual issues or grief.

I am happy to co-host the Women’s Circle every Saturday at 12 PM EST in the Support Session Room for Adults. You’re always welcome to join us there and connect with others! 

I look forward to connecting with you! 🤗

Age Isn't Just a Number: The Gendered Dynamics of Age-Gap Relationships
Women's Issues / by Mya000
Last post

...See more Age-gap relationships are often normalized and romanticized, but the reality is far from the fairytale society tries to sell us. These relationships don’t exist in a vacuum—they exist in a patriarchal system where older men hold more power, and younger women are socialized to accept less. The normalization of large age gaps isn’t just about personal preference, it’s about gendered power imbalances that put women at risk.   Statistical data highlights the commonality of this pattern. Globally, men are, on average, 4.2 years older than their female partners. In the United States, approximately 68% of married men are older than their wives.   This pattern is directly linked to the sexualization of female youth. Society conditions men to view younger women as more "desirable" while discouraging women from embracing their age and independence. Young women are taught to equate their worth with how attractive they are to older men, while men are encouraged to pursue younger women as a status symbol. This dynamic isn’t about love—it’s about power and control.   Research shows that relationships with significant age differences are more likely to involve control, coercion, and emotional abuse. The older partner—usually a man—has more life experience, financial stability, and social power, making it easier to manipulate and dominate the younger partner—usually a woman. This is an extension of how sexism operates in intimate relationships.   Women are told that dating older men is a sign of maturity, while men dating younger women are praised for their "charm." This double standard is rooted in male entitlement—a system that encourages men to seek women they can control while discouraging women from valuing their own autonomy and boundaries.   Studies show that age-gap relationships have worse long-term outcomes for women. Women in these relationships report higher rates of financial dependence and psychological distress compared to those with partners closer in age. This is not a coincidence—it’s a direct consequence of power imbalances that make it harder for women to assert themselves.   It’s time to challenge the normalization of predatory dynamics.  True love is built on equality, mutual respect, and shared life experience—not on a power imbalance that favors men at women’s expense.

A Simple Yet Powerful Yoga Pose for Anxiety
Anxiety Support / by Mya000
Last post
January 7th
...See more Hi everyone, I wanted to share a helpful yoga pose for those of us dealing with anxiety: Balasana, or Child's Pose. It's a gentle and calming posture that can help reduce stress and bring a sense of peace. How to do Balasana: * Start by kneeling on the floor with your knees apart and your big toes touching behind you. * Slowly lower your torso toward the floor, bringing your forehead to the mat or a cushion. * Stretch your arms forward on the mat, or rest them alongside your body if that feels better. * Breathe deeply and relax into the pose, letting go of any tension with each breath. Benefits of Balasana: * Calms the mind: It’s a great way to quiet the mind and release built-up stress. * Relieves tension: Helps to release tension in the back, neck, and shoulders, which is especially beneficial when anxiety leads to physical tightness. * Promotes relaxation: The gentle forward fold stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, encouraging relaxation. * Improves focus: It helps ground you in the present moment, which is so important when managing anxiety. Important Notes: * Pregnant women and individuals with knee joint pain or heart conditions should avoid this pose or consult a doctor before trying it. * It’s important to listen to your body and modify the pose if necessary. I find that incorporating poses like this into my routine can really help soothe my nerves when anxiety feels overwhelming. Have any of you tried Balasana before? How did it make you feel? Take care, Mya
