Remember that whole series in which I took to task the nefarious mess that was the girl-power/slash-pseudo-feminism that spread like crabs back in the early two-thousand-aughts? I am seeing disturbing ricochet effects of that backwards movement now. Ah, the internet and all its treasures. They are insisting to their disciples that these are good, valid life choices that have no negative consequences whatsoever.
Sigh. As if the situation could not get even worse. My shock and awe that, not only were misogynists goading females to do this. But now, even worse, females that slogged themselves through the mud are now telling other females that they should do this. They are parroting that same tired, death warmed over, sagging, flaccid, pathetic excuse-for-philosophy that this nastiness is empowering, liberating, and the ilk.
Well, I suppose it is possible that it did not start only in the 2000s. It possibly had been widespread before then.
You see, I am a very observant person. And I ruminate over absolutely everything. I analyze, I gently dissect people’s outward behavior to discern what their possible motivations might be. I think I have studied enough human psychology to theorize on why they are insisting that this was all positive. I can brush aside all the extraneous filler, and I can extract the truth.
You are saying that now simply so you can rationalize and justify it in your mind, to make some sense of the messed-up life that you put yourself through. Self-inflicted, because yes, you did bring it upon yourself. If you had to actually face what you did to yourself, you would explode in anger and fury and resentment, bitterness. I think you would be overwhelmed with a feeling of, "I can’t believe I did that!! Why the hell did I have to put myself through that? What was the point of it? Why did I have to make that happen to me??!"
What you are doing now is kind of like sour grapes, but from the opposite angle. "Oh well, it DID happen to me, so I must not have been able to help it. It must not have been avoidable, there was probably nothing I could have done to prevent it."
If you had to actually face the fact that you chose to do this all to yourself and that no one forced you to do it, you would realize that you had horrific life management skills. You have to find some way to rationalize it, you have to clamor desperately to justify it in your mind somehow. You would realize that it is your own fault that you screwed up your life.
