Can I say how much my blood boils when people pull the whole, "Oh, women hate other women/are jealous of other women" thing?
When a man thinks another man is annoying, they don't get accused of being man-haters. Incidentally, that's another term used exclusively for women.
I don't hate this woman for being a woman. I hate her for being smug and shame-y. I hate her for perpetuating an idea that a woman ought to look flawless, even if they've harvested and extracted three humans from their bodies.
I hate the idea that there's a different standard. But I don't hate her. She looks good good for her. But I wish she wouldn't play into this idea of "wymminn be hatin!!!!" and/or in denial. Or that a reaction to something provocative isn't her responsibility.
