If you don’t like what someone says to you on the street, say something back, put your headphones on, or just laugh – it’s really not that bad.","author":"Ella Whelan","tags":["anti-feminism","anti-victim-mentality","censorship","feminism","feminist","inspiration","interaction","life","victimhood"],"id":34849,"author_id":"Ella+Whelan"},{"text":"I will not be a victim.

Real women don’t have to remind the world every day that history once slighted them.","author":"Tomi Lahren","tags":["antifeminism","antifeminist","conservatism","feminism","feminist","inspirational","liberalism","tomilahren","victimattitude","victimhood","victimmentality"],"id":77571,"author_id":"Tomi+Lahren"},{"text":"Blame is a Defense Against PowerlessnessBetrayal trauma changes you. You have endured a life-altering shock, and are likely living with PTSD symptoms— hypervigilance, flashbacks and bewilderment—with broken trust, with the inability to cope with many situations, and with the complete shut down of parts of your mind, including your ability to focus and regulate your emotions.Nevertheless, if you are unable to recognize the higher purpose in your pain, to forgive and forget and move on, you clearly have chosen to be addicted to your pain and must enjoy playing the victim.And the worst is, we are only too ready to agree with this assessment! Trauma victims commonly blame themselves. Blaming oneself for the shame of being a victim is recognized by trauma specialists as a defense against the extreme powerlessness we feel in the wake of a traumatic event. Self-blame continues the illusion of control shock destroys, but prevents us from the necessary working through of the traumatic feelings and memories to heal and recover.","author":"Sandra Lee Dennis","tags":["affect","affect-regulation","betrayal","betrayal-bond","betrayal-trauma","betrayal-trauma-theory","blame","control","emotional-health","emotions","higher-purpose","hypervigilance","illusion","memories","mental-health","mental-illness","out-of-control","posttraumatic-stress","posttraumatic-stress-disorder","powerlessness","ptsd","regulate-emotions","self-blame","shock","trauma","trauma-victims","traumatic","traumatic-experiences","traumatic-memories","traumatized","victim-blaming","victimhood","victimization","victims"],"id":105905,"author_id":"Sandra+Lee+Dennis"},{"text":"Feminists believe that women should be protected from certain aspects of public life, including speech..... Feminists do not want to engage in aspects of life they disagree with. Instead, they want to silence what they don’t like through censorship and criminalisation. Feminists believe that women need protection from words.Finally, contemporary feminists do not believe that women are independent, free-thinking individuals. Feminists promote a cliquey, sisterhood mentality, but not through a collective and positive sharing of ideas. They’re the kind of group you’d encounter at school who would shun you if you weren’t wearing the right kind of hairband. Today’s feminism is opposed to criticism and nuance, refusing to allow women to form their own opinions or challenge preconceived ideas.","author":"Ella Whelan","tags":["anti-feminism","anti-feminist","criticism","feminism","feminist","inspirational","victimhood","women"],"id":141908,"author_id":"Ella+Whelan"},{"text":"If I know something, I am not a victim.
