” It can be extremely discouraging when the offenders so rarely face any consequences, which results in so many women suffering in silence, or giving up careers they were passionate about because someone was exceptionally insulting, slanderous, or “just joking.” “

Ah, suffering…. I think of my ancestors who were starved to death by communism in 1930s, I think of my great-grandfather who was injured in World War II, of the writers and all kinds of artists which were constantly spied on by USSR, sentenced to camps, fired from work and even killed (officially and unofficially), of my language which was nearly destroyed by the USSR “multiculturalism”, of the miners who still work in my country in inhuman conditions for a miserable pay… I thought that’s what suffering means but I guess I was wrong – sitting in an office, playing video games and getting mad about toxic people sending bad comments. This is the real pain and the real suffering.

Things like this make me question the whole point of making this world a better place. No matter how much you advance, even if you quite literally let people have fun in front of a computer screen for hours and give them money for typing up words on a keyboard – it’s still not enough; they will still act like victims and talk about their “suffering” because some troll wrote a comment that made them feel bad. “Daddy, there’s a bad guy on the Internet who made me feel bad, PUNISH!!! *proceeds to throw a tantrum*”

And I like how much importance she puts into that word – “woman”. There I thought people are supposed to be equal, gender stereotypes should die off and we should be treated as humans whose personalities can be feminine, masculine or neutral, there I thought everyone’s feelings matter…. but nope. I’ve read only a couple of paragraphs from that article and I already feel like I’ve taken a bath of femininity. Reminds me of that scene from Wolfenstein II where the father of the main hero goes on about his “suffering”. I hope we’ll get to a point where someone will make a story about these people and their “suffering”, but this time around expose the modern villains.
