Why is this a thing? On Facebook(I know, I know) a women in an anxiety group wanted support as to how her husband was a POS for xxx reason. I echoed everyone else, but the whole Goddess thing came up. Treating women as royalty just because they’re women. Grown men actually live by that, and that’s fine, but why am I immature if I don’t?! I get called a child, even though I’m speaking normally. I have never, ever, shamed another person. Not even the worst of the worst. It’s just not in me as I’m very empathetic, how would I feel?

Is it simply punishing the rogue sheep to keep the others in line? Or is there something more? I want to understand people, rather than get into a bickering match like that’s going to be productive.

I would consider myself as a sensitive person and the human trait of belonging and togetherness really eats up at me with these interactions. Why do people have to be so mean and close minded?
