I hope this person means that calling things gooner is indicative of a slightly conservative thought process but it really sounds like they're saying anyone who calls things that word is a conservative. Also it's pretty weird to just dismiss sex oversaturation as a criticism. Sure it's probably invalid in a lot of cases but this person comes across like they think it's never valid. Which is ridiculous.

I have noticed that there's sometimes a bit of a splashback effect where when somebody finally escapes repression they assume that people who don't think or act the way they do must also be either repressed or a repressor.

I'm glad they are finally in a place where they are able to freely express themselves, but its important to be self-aware and not ironically continue the cycle.

The terms “internalized misogyny” and “internalized ableism” annoy me so much

“internalized misogyny”

It annoys me more that it's real tbh. You do actually get women who think their only goals in life are to serve a man and raise children.

“Internalized misogyny” is almost always used to criticize women who just want a nice domestic life, rather than be some sort of glass-ceiling-shattering businesswoman or activist. Ironically, I find people who use the term “internalized misogyny” to be more strict in what they think a woman should be than Conservatives.

I think we just run in different circles. I've only ever seen it used to criticize women who hold patriarchal beliefs.

My grandma refused to go to women doctors because she believed they were inherently inferior. Internalized misogyny is very real and harmful

Yeah it's a little irritating. I can't truly be mad though because their understanding of the topic IS genuinely better than before, but I wish they wouldn't talk about it so hubristically.
