Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

It seems like you're in denial. To respond for the audience...

  • body language, such as poses, can indicate insecurity. The middle finger is an example of overcompensation as in acting intimidating or cool because deep down they feel vulnerable, anxious, fearful, etc.
  • "Lust is an intense desire for something. Lust can take any form such as the lust for sexual activity, money, or power; but it can also take such mundane forms as the lust for food or the lust for redolence." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lust
  • According to this definition of lust, there is clearly a lust, or intense desire, for the coffee for example. There is also lust or desire for "looking cool" as evident by the fashion & pose. Also, the desire for other people to change is a lust for power. Power is defined as ability to influence others. The image self-evidently is an attempt to influence others.
  • There are many harmful consequences with brand-name clothes including but not limited to environmental damage, psychological damage, and economic harm for self and others. This is empirical, not opinion -- https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0959652624036813 , https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1740144525001068
  • Negative (i.e., "no" and rejection) and aggressive body language are anti-social behaviors that implicitly assert superiority. "[Contemptuous people] are true specialists in looking you up and down, generally with a slight gesture of rejection, disgust and superiority drawn on their faces. They are real experts in making you feel bad. Making you believe that you are inferior, that you are not worth enough or that your vocation is failure." https://psychology-spot.com/contemptuous-people-ways-to-despise/
  • Everyone is owed empathy. All sentient beings are deserving of compassion.
  • Pride is as defining characteristic of narcissism. "Narcissism is characterized by a grandiose sense of self-importance, a lack of empathy for others, a need for excessive admiration, and the belief that one is unique and deserving of special treatment."
  • The woman in this picture is exhibiting traits of narcissism by not having empathy for others and the grandiose sense of self-importance (aka pride) in acting superior to others with the aggressive (middle finger), dressing "cool" and "high-status" aka superior (fashion clothes, posturing), and negative behavior (no, rejection, the arrogance in believing one knows more than others). https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/narcissism
