Diary 2 -- the trigger meets #gamergate

Diary of a victim of rape culture 

Vol. 2 - the meeting pt.1

Another Day, another triggered feminist. 

And #GamerGate

So, I have to tell you something, about our secret meetings. Yes, there are secret meetings in our feminist circles, but I'll tell you about it. It's nothing special, really. We just sit around and talk. When I think of it, we always sit around and talk. And drink various kinds of tea and/or coffee.


You could say we are some kind of feminist tea party. It's a Trigger awareness tea party, this evening. Well, I'll introduce the participants of this evening for you.

Strong male feminist, and a P.O.C.-Man, too.

First and foremost, there is me. I am just your run-of-the-mill feminist. I am attracted to men(Fixation of pater-complex, I know). Nothing special besides that. You should know me by now, if not, just read my other posts! Then, we have Caren, she is an polyamarous bisexual hetero-non-normative humankin who is into otherkins, (heterosexual bi-normative omniamarous, H.o.b.o.,) and an actual hobo, Our meeting circles demand to get at least 1 underpriviledged class member into our society, and this time it's just someone who begged for money outside on the streets. We told him "Hey, you wanna have a nice evening?" And he just came along, smiling and irritated as we helped him to get to where our meeting was. He sat in our circle like everyone else, mildly irritated.

A Case study of internalized misogyny

TRIGGER WARNING

If you are sensible towards certain long and pointy objects, or hollow, round objects, or a combination of both, please consider not reading on

Today, I witnessed internalized mysogyny and possibly rape. It happened right before my eyes, and I couldn't stop it. I just could sit there, helpless, and didn't dare to say a word. Needless to say, I was enraged, and tried to hold my composure. It was hard, I have tell you this. But I made it. I didn't want to get into trouble, bc at my workplace, it is kinda tough to speak out for feminist ideas.

Is it sexist?

As I first called a meeting for a feminist proposal, I was being laughed at. What, I ask you, is so wrong to prohibit phallic shaped vegetables at an open office? You can get triggered by that! We have a lot of patriarchy going on here. But, alas, I'll tell you this story another time. The thing I want to talk about today is internalized misogyny.

I have a co-worker, Melany. She's a "pretty girl", and everyone around here likes her. Yea, She has taken the easy way. Her "feminine traits" get her a go around the office, She's "pretty", shaves her armpits and legs and is generally a "nice person". Doing a little bit of makeup every morning, and even going through the trouble of having long, "beautiful" hair. I asked her once why she is going through the trouble of making herself "pretty", I was in utter disbelief of her answer. She said she wanted to feel pretty and "like a woman".
