The internet is a social platform upon which patriarchy has been subverted [in virtual reality] without anybody even noticing.
This is the age of social engineering. We all have to live like teenaged girls engaging in cliquish behavior whether we like it or not. Everything you say that can in any way be attributable to you will be used against you out of context.
If you don't think you do, then nobody has found a need to cancel you yet. Just wait until you get in another "girl's" way for a promotion or you're the target of staged histrionics so they can evade accountability for some other shit they did. Give it time and watch your back.
It's a quiet war you don't even realize is being waged until your life becomes a smoldering crater. This is by design. The favored weapon of women has always been poison, and it's not always the chemical kind.
I hadn't considered the sexist angle even after noticing my stepdaughter snooping on her parents' phones and cyberstalking me and was thinking just yesterday that it feels like I have to like like an aspiring presidential candidate. All skeletons must be macerated, all dirt must be swept away, all witnesses discredited or eliminated. I've seen what she does to the rest of her family with weaponized intelligence. There's no discernible endgame, just defamation and humiliation of everyone for the sake of elevating herself.
I now understand how teen girls get bullied into suicide by other girls. Some shit, you can't live down.
- simmerup 3y agoThanks, that’s more understandable

- jstarfish 3y agoNo doubt-- my surprise was more about the subject matter. I've only ever seen scattered theories about the "girl code" put forth by MRAs.
