I agree with you! I have argued a few times that some things can feel degrading to women... and I am not a person who gets upset about every time I see women used as a sex symbol... but there is a line!
True. I think the problem is with that privilege men (generalization) don't have any idea what it is like to be a woman and I use transgender women as an example. Those women get to have a moment of pure shame when they get it and realize how they were part of the problem as men. Having said that, society has oppressed men into being the oppressors and women oppress one another all the damn time. Sorry I will get off my soap box.
That's why rape culture exists. Men are told they can't control themselves and women are always doing something to invite it.
So freakin true! I watched a documentary a couple years ago, I cannot remember what it was called, but it was pretty much about why people do bad things. One of the stories was about this woman who was raped and almost died. The man responsible for it was caught, and he seriously told the cops that she asked for it. So, of course the cops were like how did she ask for to be raped and almost beat to death. Apparently she smiled at him and said hi when he said hello to her as she walked by him.
So the sad reality is people who don't defend women, like moms whose daughters are raped, etc., are almost always also victims. When nobody is there to believe them or they can't share their shame they reenact that on those after them. Not saying mom was assaulted but it os so common. I've seen this with every client I've ever had. Those victims who are blamed are blamed by other victims.
Yes, but that might also make us robots and stepford people with only one emotion. It actually creeps me out to think of a "perfect" world. You can't appreciate pure joy without knowing absolute pain intimately.
Ooooh! Yeah, that! Totally agree. I have to do that so precisely as a therapist. Not all clients are good people with problems. Some are rotten people, rapists. Abusers, etc. Then you must view them in their totality. And you ALWAYS find a wounded child in there. If I didn't put my judgements aside when meeting someone (I get an intake packet sometimes filled out with a general reason why they are coming and sometimes it is court ordered you see) I can actually harm my client with those judgements both in not doing right by them because of the way I'm not aware that I'm treating them and by just not caring to help. It is an odd but beautiful thing to have a brain that is always trying to see deeper with people. Annoying to some lol.I'm not advocating perfect, I agree with you if we were all alike it would be awfully boring. What I am talking about is how to some we become objects or get put into boxes based on little or no fact. I think there will always differences. I just want us to be seen as people first.

By the way, this is part of a set of pictures taken by some really good photographer at NYC vapefest (or vapemeet...or whatever it was. It says on the link, I think the photos might've been for the article in Digital Trends that featured vaping several months ago). The pics are fun to browse through, anyway.
