I just hate how we always get the bad end of the stick when Me personally have always tried not be like that. I'm pretty honest and open about my feelings and i'm pretty proud of it too.
How do YOU guys always get the bad end of the stick? I'm sorry, but the reason there are so many sexist women, is because of the sexism we have all come to suffer from men. The oppressed have simply become the oppressors. Women like me also try to not fit the female stereotype, just like men like you try not to fit the male stereotype. And I tell you, it's HARDER for us.
The female stereotype is to constantly be smiling, be willing to serve those around you, be caring for everyone, be silly and cute, and just about everything I am NOT when I am in a professional situation. The reason it is harder, is because every SINGLE time I go into a room without a smile on my face, all the men have to yell things like "What's the matter, baby? Lemme see your smile!" or "Cheer up, sexy, it's not the end of the world!". Men on the other hand, can not smile for a MONTH and no one say a darn word about it. Also, if I act even within the RANGE of my actual intelligence, people become intimidated, and sometimes even dislike me claiming I'm arrogant and snotty. But when a MAN acts intelligent, ((and even if it treats people like they're stupid because of it)), people swoon over him and only talk positively about him. Whereas I, who only wanted to help them, is treated as a snob. Also, despite the way I act on the forums, in real life, I am NOT always silly. Only amongst my friends am I that way. But, the women I know who ARE, are treated considerably better than those of us who aren't by the majority of the male community. In fact, the reason I have so much work right now is because I'm trying my hardest to get good grades ((I'm in college)) so that one day I can support myself and be independent of any need for any man, while the "silly" girls in my class, are handed "A"s on a platter by my male chauvenist teacher.
Although there are female sexists, all they generally do is make it sound like men are stupid or sex-obsessed or uncaring. At least they treat men like they're still HUMAN. Male sexists treat women like we are only objects for their pleasure and service, and it is hard to live that way, but men simply don't understand, because they've never been in that situation. Sex is also very different for women than it is for men, so even if a man WERE sexually harrassed, he probably wouldn't take it the same way as a woman would. ((Nor would other people, and that, I admit, is NOT fair for men.))
What I'm trying to say is, I have suffered a LOT of sexual harrassment in my life; and frankly, when men claim they suffer it as much as women, it flat-out makes me mad. Because it's a FACT, women suffer significantly more discrimination than men.
This is not a flame on you, VexNet, I'm just rather upset right now, because today, as usual, I was mis-treated by a man because of my sex. And moezy-chan, there is NO need for you to apologize any more, once was enough. *huggles you both* There, we're all sorry. It's all good with us, now, ne?
