Thank you for reading!

It is certainly relevant in America where its use continues to promote rape culture and misogyny.

Thank you so much for reading!

I'm sorry you feel that way about yourself.

It was eye-opening in the worst possible way, but I'm glad it at least created an opportunity to…

Thank you for reading, Don!

Thank you for reading!

I know it exists, but I haven't heard it used in my life. MILF, I hear often. Thanks for reading!

Exactly. Thanks for reading!

Thank you for reading!

The difference is systemic oppression and how inequality creates an imbalance of power.

Wow. That's a lot of mansplaining the experience of women to a woman.

Any time. I find snowflake to be complimentary. MILF, however, is not.

When I replied to the message, I acknowledged that he likely thought it was a compliment and…

Thank you for reading!

I'm so glad it was helpful! Thank you for reading. I wish you so much healing!

Thank you for reading!

Thank you!

Thank you for reading!

Thank you for reading!

Women who are or are not celebrities and who are also mothers are allowed to be vibrant and sexual…

It definitely communicates men who respect women and those who don't.

Or Misogynistic Immature Lonely Fellow? lol Thanks for reading!

Of all the ways to communicate attraction, this one is among the worst!

Your perspective isn't mature; it's misogynistic.

This is the difference between being sexualized as a man in a patriarchal society and being…

Thank you!

Agreed. It's demeaning. I hate cougar equally.

Translation: women who aren't fussed about their own oppression or objectification.

Subtracting misogyny from intention would certainly help the process.

I said what I said.

Thanks for the encouragement and for reading. EMDR has been literally life-changing!

I recommend EMDR to anyone who has suffered a trauma!

Dreams can be powerful.

There's so much to learn from these experiences.

That's a great way to look at it!

I don't feel that the answer is objectifying men.

I told him that I realize he intended it as a compliment, but that it is a misogynistic and…

Once again: I personally have never heard a woman use this term.

It's created by porn culture and has been around a long time.

Exactly. It's demeaning. Thanks for reading!

Thank you for reading!

Thank you so much!

It really is.

The child's story is adorable.

Awareness is a start! Thank you for reading!

Right?? Thanks for reading!

I'm 39, and it's widely known in dating culture in the U.S.

All of this! It's completely unnecessary--and unkind. Thank you for reading!

Absolutely!
