Let’s talk about women today (like I always do). So, I’ve been trying to talk about misogyny on this blog because it has become a huge issue on the inter.net. But I don’t know why, it just worsens everyday for me. Like this week Lizzo was on Hot Ones and to quote the worst place ever: “the comment section didn’t pass the vibe check.” Apparently, there were a ton of dislikes, and I definitely read a bunch of shitty comments so I know those dislikes aren’t faked. It is very very weird what a lot of those shitty comments have to say. The comments on her weight were of course present. But they called her vapid and shallow. Which seems weird? Cause Sean Evans asked her about her formal training in music, and she did have a lot to say about structure in music. I get it, most of those kids didn’t know that Lizzo is actually sick at the flute. But like where along the line do you listen to her or look at her and think shallow, vapid? Where do you come to that conclusion?

This is all part of a weird idea that a lot of men have about women on the internet, that they need to neg women and bring them down. So many times I see confident women and the comments are just picking on her. As if they were childhood bullies. Childish, dumb, and often times tone deaf. Leading to women to have to either A. defend themselves or B. concede to the haters and lose their confidence in the process. Now, an asshole would retort with “well if they were truly confident, they’d just ignore the hate.” He said as one of those haters. Bad bad bad bad bad awful awful awful this place sucks I hate it here (sorry to the grammarheads).

Look, I know I’m just screaming into the void. Misogyny is a “joke” and it’s “inevitable”, but grrrr it makes me mad. It triggers me! I am triggered! Sorry!! I am just a plain not a fan of the hate women receive. And I’m tired of it…

I’m sure there’s more to say. But eventually… I’ll say something I guess…
