Rich and famous men

December 24, 2014

are used to treating women badly?

I won't do it.  I will not get into a relationship with someone who's rude and insulting to me already, hoping that he'll improve, because I want to date a celebrity at all costs to my self-esteem and health.  I don't need to date a celebrity.

If it has seemed at times since 2010 that I would accept bad treatment from people if they were rich and famous, it's because I COULD NOT BELIEVE that, in the entertainment industry, there was no recognition of or respect for the past several decades of gains for women in society.  What I did realize was that misogyny has its claws buried in the world, and has had that for centuries, and that it was and is threatening literally to take over everything again, because of what the conglomerate has done.

 

I kept looking for some sort of understanding, specifically from the celebrities with whom I interacted, and they just didn't have it.  They were so unlike anyone with whom I had ever interacted before that I did not realize until late that they neither realize their own ignorance nor want to change it.

I think that the ones who think they're interested in me, yet treat me badly, must be used to being surrounded all the time by people who will literally do anything to be close to them.  I am not one of those people.  Don't waste your time thinking that I am.
