[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good for you OP!  Now that you have noticed this, you will start to see the pressure on women to do this positively EVERYWHERE- and see how very i[b]ngratiated[/b] into our culture this is.  And- duh! Because our culture and entertainment has been sharpened, for the history of humankind, by men.

It's starting to change but it's really amazing to realize how deep it goes.  And once you take those rose colored glasses off- it's amazing how the real world works![/quote]

Ingrained. From one sister to another.[/quote]

I know what both words mean, and I picked ingratiated deliberately.  It's correct, thank you. [/quote]

No, it simply isn't. You can say that women ingratiating themselves by deferring to men is ingrained in our culture, and I would agree! But you can't ingratiate pressure into culture--it makes no sense.

Ingratiate: bring oneself into favor with someone by flattering or trying to please them

I think it's an absolutely PERFECT description of how pressure on women is allowed and enabled to flourish in our culture.  It was a deliberately selected word, and I'm absolutely not about to change it.

What I will say is it's sad women feel the need to nitpick about a word choice when we're speaking on the issues that OP brought up. But it does prove my point. Anyway, handmaidens will always be dismissed, by me at least.[/quote]

And this entire exchange further proves that the stereotypes about women are all correct. Sad little petty minds.[/quote]

All women are not to be judged by this dreadful exchange.  There are annoying, nitpicky men out there just as there are women who do that.  Frustrating?  Yes.  But that's what we're all working to change- the tendency of SOME women to needlessly attack one another (which most of the time doesn't come up but occasionally....)[/quote]

Not to the level women are. Women take the cake for nasty petty behavior. Look at this entire site, geared towards women. A bunch of witches tearing each other apart. Most need sedatives.[/quote]

Well.... this thread is probably an example you could use to support that thesis if you ever needed to... which is very unfortunate considering OP's intentions. [/quote]
