RE: "Women, not Girls" by Mayim Bialik. Female disempowerment at its best.

yes cool point e13c7r0n (sorry for the late reply, and what a username! lol). I would even say that it isnt just women who have taken on this "fragile" stance in relation to their "feelings", but in general society (at least if one were to go off of social media) seems to have adopted a fear of offending and being offended through words. We've started placing feelings and ego over what matters in this world and so we distract ourselves from finding ways to create a better world for everyone as we're only looking for reasons to fight and argue.

Sort:  

Absolutely accurate. I think the problem began when the line between words and actions was began to be intentionally blurred so now people feel and respond to words as if they have been attacked physically. Also it has been so ingrained in youth culture that it isn't good enough that you like yourself, but other people have to constantly validate it and that's not how the world works.

Yeah it's definitely interesting Dynamics playing out.
