I've been thinking about Jackie's video. I think more and more that the performative 'bitch' insults and attempts to attack/defend are probably indicative of a sensitive personality trying hard to avoid showing pain.
There is so much self depreciation, a deep anxiety to be liked. The more I think about it, and think of a young child rejected by at least one parent for not being 'macho' enough, the more sympathy I have.
If we raise boys letting them know they can be sensitive, empathetic, kind, emotional, vulnerable, interested in 'pretty' things, enjoy colour change dolls or long hair or princess dresses, and still be valued, loved, and appreciated just as they are, would this really be an issue? Is it really true that all of that story, all of that pain, all of that struggle and suffering is stemming from a child who wanted a mermaid doll and was told 'no'?
