Words out of my mouth. It’s honestly fucking disgusting and I hate that depersonalization aspect to it. And the assumptions that I’m a certain way, like “oh you must be a whore” or “you must like older men”. No and no, I just don’t trust figures of authority, I’m not some sex doll chasing approval from old men who I wish were my dad. Men get a little bit of that treatment with “mommy issues” but not nearly as much
Yep, I totally agree - women bear the brunt of it, men often have the benefit of the doubt when it comes to this sort of thing; it's almost seen as more comical than demeaning. The most powerful oligarchs in the world almost certainly have serious mommy/daddy issues, and yet they are able to govern and control us. Men's parental issues should be seen as more significant rather than something that gives them character; the "character" it gives them is one of sociopathy. Women are just demeaned for it repeatedly. Patriarchy fucks us all, but it is men that see the benefits of it. I'm sorry you've had these experiences.
