veronica_richI'm always grateful for the education LiveJournal affords me on a weekly (sometimes daily) basis.
Did you know there are a bunch of us who are misogynistic? In spite of being female ourselves?
Well, it's because we criticize other women for their behavior. And female characters. No, really - if we say or imply "I do not like that person/character," as long as they're female, there's really no good explanation we can give for it. Basically, we might as well just say:
"Because I'm jealous."
"Because I'm a horrible bitch."
"Because I think all women should stay in the kitchen with bare feet and be pregnant."
Because that's what I do. I'm really a housewife. I'm not really a journalist. I haven't been on my own since I was 17. All my credit cards belong to my husband (to whom I was handed off by my father, aka My God On Earth). No, I've never enjoyed watching a strong female character. I turn off "Xena" or "Roseanne" when they come on. I wouldn't have a woman with a backbone for a friend if you had to hold me down and scald me to accept one. Fie!
Really, shame on me for expecting someone who says they have a moral center, decency, and honor to act like it. No woman can do wrong! *smacks self with hairwhip* I'm sorry! I'll try better to be more like Miss Lizzie!
