Is that's supposed to be a dig? I really don't care, as I have a ton of stress in my personal life at the moment. Best wishes, I was just stating an opinion in reference of how stupid the defendant in this case is.
No, it's not a dig
@Future_Milf , not in the least.
I think when I communicate thru visuals I'm clearer so I'll give it another go with the image that had popped into my head when I read your previous post.
But to be clear, you would be the Cher character, "reality" in this clip, Nicolas Cage is us, and naivitee:
I really can't blame you for that assumption. Very early in your days here, the tone was set when you were treated horribly by a member who said horrid things to you, she is an extreme example of
internalized misogyny.
"Women who experience internalized misogyny may express it through minimizing the value of women, mistrusting women..."
I'm not going to put her words about you here again, but here's the links
And this:
Muriel. Women are allowed to be sexual. It doesn't reduce their "value", their intellect, etc.
As for the second example, penises and breasts are not equivalent. One is a reproductive organ, one is not.
Here's an example involving her and
@Brillig
Internalized Misogyny:
internalised misogyny has reproduced a toxic culture that pits women against each other, teaching us that we must compete for either male attention or to simply be better than one another. Magazines push the idea in “who wore it better?” spreads and breakup songs do it in their comparisons between the new girl and the ex.
Routinely viewing other women as competitors in social and family situations, especially for the attention and approval of men.
Internalized misogyny can be enacted on others through assertions of incompetence, competitive banter, construction of women as competitors, construction of women as objects, and invalidation and derogation of others or oneself."
But in case I'm failing to convey this with words, this concept, here are visuals:
Believing that if women aren't competing for their attention, existing to be pleasing to them, works very nicely for some men who can also then easily put women into two catagories:
First simple and homogenous category:
Jealous, competitive women who see me as a the prize I am, and will destroy and insult other women to compete in their efforts to be pleasing to me.
Or
Second Simple and assumed category:
Dykes:
Doesn't have being attractive to men a priority? Must be a dyke.
(Not one of those pretty lipstick lesbians who just need my 5" to set her straight)
The Ugly and Awkward:
They seethe with resentment for category #1 because they aren't good enough to compete.
Feminazis:
May or may not include all of the above, but if if it's online, you'd better bet it will be assumed they are "fat" or "ugly" and are just bitter because they can't attract a man. So anything they say is ridiculous. Any success they have, is from only from the help of men. They sucked dick. There is no way they earned their place, they cheated. Whores.
We all can be, but to vastly different degrees.
I did this quiz to see where I am on the scale.
I could improve.
I answered 'Slightly Disagree' about feeling comfortable at a mixed gathering when a woman speaks knowledgeably about football or auto repair.
I feel I wouldn't enjoy hearing any expertise on either of those subjects by anyone, but here's the difference.
With a woman, I would wonder why she was so rude as to talk about a subject I couldn't participate in. She would be intruding on my conversation and good time.
With men, I wouldn't be aghast, and might feel that I was intruding on their conversation or good time.
Superior, inferior.
Reactions I'd never thought about.
We can't control our feelings entirely, but we can behave. You have to recognize things in yourself.

So, no
@Future_Milf , there was no intent to insult you subtly or overtly, not at all.
You're a keen observer of life, you wave away fuzzy idealism, and you're not intimidated by disagreeing. Those are great attributes. That's what I felt I had expressed about your comment.
I work towards those kind of character goals daily.
Also, I wanted you express that I was pleased to see more of your posts. I enjoy them and you.
But I think I can understand why it may read differently.
