internalised misogyny is when you see a woman sitting in the back of the room wearing high heels and a skirt minding her own business and suddenly you’re all too quick to assume that she must be so full of herself or a narcissist because she doesn’t talk to anyone but two specific people. Suddenly calm, collected and introverted people don’t exist anymore and apparently it’s funny to bash these people because they may have some sort of anxiety regarding certain situations. Leave this woman alone for fuck’s sake. And why is that the girl is always in the wrong while the guy who always sits in front row gets to be perceived as mysterious and attractive but in a good way? again, that’s internalised misogyny. Another example of internalised misogyny is when you hear a guy spreading an obviously fake rumor about a woman he supposedly dated a while ago (it never happened) and instead of paying attention to what the girl has to say you start bashing her for even reacting to the current situation. That’s internalised misogyny, Alice, and that’s exactly what you’ve been doing along with your friends. If a guy that is not even involved in that “drama” spills all the tea, for goddamnest sake, try to use some critical thinking (i know you can do it) and connect the dots on your own, if you REALLY care about the issue, of course, which you SHOULDN’T because that’s really not your business. The guy who told you stuff about it is friends with a girl who used to severely make fun of me with him and the other guy who spread those rumors about me because at that time i used to be extremely skinny. He started all the drama after i told him that i liked him, and basically what happened next was that he started screenshotting my pictures and adding filters to all of them. Even a friend of mine got the same treatment from him and she was so embarrassed that she had to drop out. While you’re there supporting an abuser and his bully girlfriend, i’m right here minding my own business once again. If you didn’t even care of listening to both sides of the story, it means you’re just in for some drama and it’s concerning to witness and even be part of a situation like this considering the degree we’re all trying to major in. As for anything else i’ve ever said after what happened years ago, i have no regrets :) the fact that i don’t know who you are yet you know everything about me is very creepy, but i can handle it i guess
