[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m just realizing this as a female at age 54. So much hatred and disgust hurled at women. I think I didn’t see it when I was younger because I was attractive enough. I see it everywhere now that the male gaze is not on me so heavily.  I don’t feel as watched and can do the watching. By misogynistic, I mean a dislike of women, women themselves included. [b]Is this something every aging woman sees?[/b] [/quote]

No, actually the opposite.   As I age, I see far more preference to women and that the US is extremely [b]anti-male[/b] right now.

But I grew up with a "faux feminist" mother who was constantly harping on how tough women have it.   She would also intentionally be a lot tougher on me than my brothers so I would "get used to it" (her words.)[/quote]

:roll: when equality feels like oppression... well you know how the rest of the saying goes.[/quote]

Speaking of equality, what if OP is simply upset because she is now being treated like the rest of us?  It sounds like OP had been used to all kinds of privileges that come with being attractive. Now that men no longer buy her free dinners and shower her with gifts, she's outraged that she has to buy her own stuff like the rest of us.  So yeah, if you're used to being spoiled and coddled all your life, it can feel like oppression to just be "normal" now.  :roll: [/quote]
