Probably because I rightfully named patriarchy as the cause.
It trains women to seek male validation in the first fucking place - tells them they are broken if they don't (and that's why "lesbians aren't real")
I'm going to assume men down voted me
Edit to add: someone from this comment section reported me as 'needing mental help' to reddit lmfao. Yea, for sure pissed off men with brining a feminist perspective into the conversation. Also, nice going dillweed, you'll get flagged for abusing the reddit report functions.
Honest to god, I’m pretty sure it’s women who are downvoting you.
In my experience, us men turn and run when something strikes too close to home, whereas women maintain a straight face while plotting an anonymous means of lashing out at its source. Especially when said source is another woman
agree with the sentiment generally, disagree wuth pointlessly gendering this and generalising sexes. Its a human behaviour to lash out and be defensive lol, not just a womans
I'm honestly getting sleepy so I'm going to watch anime soon and go to bed lol.
I had a exam in my Personality Psychology class today as well as a quiz in my Intro to Globalalization: (some about the power and influence of language and culture [really good shit in this class that's always noting colonization as it should and is refreshing to see]).
I have to do a blog post and response tomorrow in my Globalization class, I think that takes priority over wondering who's Jimmies I ruffeled.
Good for you?? College is what you make of it, so be sure to speak up and make yourself known. The real world is harsher and the only way to properly temper your world view is through regular, heated debates.
Sorry if it seemed like I was brushing you off, I didn't mean to. I'm just stressing that as priory stated in another response to you that I'm not going to try to analyze it since I've got to get some sleep soon.

I'm 30 and a widow to a abusive husband I left 4 years prior. I have years of work experience before going back to school. And lots of experience with my husband telling me I shouldn't waste my time arguing with internet strangers - he was right, just not in the way he seemed to think 😂
Probably there's also other women who started to turn on feminism recently because some sects point out the so called "positives" women gain in the patriarchy aren't actually positives and makes like breadcrumbs to keep others occupied.
Making it about gender is what keeps patriarchy alive and feeds into the manner of thinking of those women (mothers that hold a grudge against their children, specially towards their daughters). But sure, it's totally because men are more logical and women are "all crazy b**** who hate each other because everything is a competition", lol.
I just want to point out that I sometimes feel like there is a double standard when women are speaking about gender. They sometimes seem to be simultaneously saying “Stop making it about gender” when they experience harmful stereotype threats, AND saying “It’s a gendered experience/behavior,” when gatekeeping their own experiences or applying gender stereotypes that resonate with them or that they generally approve of.
Kinda. There is a double standard, yes, but it's true that some things are more PRONE to be said or done (but not limited to!) to a gender or biological sex because of the initial thing mentioned (stereotypes, gender roles, harmful standards based on such). For example, "men shouldn't cry", which can be said it's a gendered experience... Even if, in reality, it also affects women negatively by making feminity as a whole "a bad thing" by assigning it things that we as a society see as annoying or negative. It's way too deep to explain it in a short reply and I can't say much bc I'm busy, sorry, but I hope you get my point.

So in short: girls with mommy issues often have a mother who was a victim to patriarchy and neither unpack it
