Thanks guys.
Ben- I don't even think shes consciously aware of it or if she is, she just likes being willfully ignorant. I honestly think hers is a case what happens when someone gets disillusioned with the "disney" fairy tale that society pushes and then decides to take a cop out so she doesn't have to change. I remember her from back in Highschool and she wasn't like this before. For some reason though in college she decided to become a feminist with extreme views. I think its because she realized what many others have come to realize. That the "Disney" idea of remaining how you are (no matter how fat, lazy, stupid, nerdy, beta, omega and inconsiderate I am) and somehow you will meet someone who will accept you just like that is complete BS (now if you won the Genetic lottery you might get a little leeway in how bad your personality can be but even then people can only handle so much). Of course after you realize this you have two choices you can make. You can be like the minority (like the people on this forum) who went out and decided to work on themselves (self-development route) or you can be like the majority of people and take a cop out (lazy/fear route). Obviously she took the cop out (all men sexually objectify women, men are the problem so I don't have to change. They should change).
Speaking of fear and Laziness, that reminds me that there is something else I totally forgot to put in my other last post. I had told another person about the subs and I think they are on the fences. At least there is a little bit of hope but at the same time I think I might just give up on telling others about the subs like some of you have told me to. I'm beginning to realize that the majority of people just don't want to do what it takes (including just press play every night) to change their lives. This is despite how much those same people might complain about their lives or their interactions with other people. Over the last few months, I've had one woman tell me that she believed the subs could work but that she believe that changing should be "hard" and somehow it wouldn't be right for it to be easy. Still trying to wrap my head around that statement. I had another woman tell me last month that she is fine now because shes on "anti-depressants" and they seem to be working. So, let me get this straight. You rather be paying for and being on drugs for the rest of your life (which isn't even normal or healthy) than getting rid of the root cause for your issues and not have to deal with it anymore? Not to mention if you miss taking your drugs a couple of times your issues start coming back. Which obviously means they weren't taken care of in the first place, you just put a band-aid on it. I don't know, the mental gymnastics people go through in order to not have to deal with their problems amazes even me sometimes.
