The Audacity of E. Jean Carroll

9. I rarely care much for any public figures but

She is the exception.

She sounds funny, cool and tough:

There is nothing misogynists of a type like more than to take down a woman with sexual harassment or disrespect for daring to make raunchy jokes or live outside the purdah..There is always a distinct “she was definitely asking for it” vibe when men attack women of her specific type (aka funny and tough)..because they can count on a subset of other people piling on and saying “well look at the way she talks..what can she expect?”.

She cracks raunchy jokes or makes lewd remarks, she swears, she drinks..who is she to object to harassment? It is the misogynistic variant on the more common “she should not be wearing that if she doesn’t want unwanted attention”. I am very familiar with that line of sexist and backward thinking myself.

I love her. Go Jean! The anti-victim..

I hope Vagina T Fireball is the type of cat that will take an eye out of any creep who might try to attack her for daring to stand up to Trump. After his little “jokes” about assassination and presidential immunity I thought of her.

Anything a woman does (from posting on the net to swearing to raunchy jokes) is fair game for attack ..indeed having any sense of humor or fun at all is basically contraband in our increasingly regressive global society..really any behavior short of “hard work” and the obligatory 2 -10 kids is “asking for maltreatment”.

And I can say from personal experience that pretty much all of society looks on childfree women with contempt.

I am not surprised that Trump called her a “nutcase”.

People go out of their way to make childfree women miserable and then bullshit about how such women have “mental health issues”. It is sickening.

There was a time in a my life where I almost finally got browbeaten into thinking of myself as mentally not that well out of sheer tiredness. But now I know that not only am I not mentally ill, I never was unwell. I just was unfortunate enough to end up in the segments of society that do really hate women and call women crazy. My mental health is now and always was as fine as can be expected of any gaslighted and embattled woman surrounded by creepy men (not to mention the types of women who support them). The place I live is horrible-I am halfway around the world from your nazi rapist, but no shortage of male creeps where I live. The last 12 years were horrible, but I made it. I take full responsibility for my own actions always and defy creeps.

I like how spunky E Jean is. Attagirl..my mom would have loved her.

This is a society that wants women to be weak, depressive and so on. Though The New Atlantis is conservative, I did agree with this:

I am not anti psychiatry, but I do think the tendency to call childfree women who know their own minds “crazy” has to be questioned. And by medical professionals above all.
