    I hate that being forward or standing up for myself is seen as being pushy or bitchy. So if I ever attempt to advocate for myself, I risk doing myself harm.

    What do I hate most?

    Knowing that I will often be held to a different professional and social standard than my male counterparts.

    "that I should be the one defending the country or bringing food to the table"

    Hmm. So I don't disagree that gender roles are binding per se, but, umm, sometimes I hear things like the above from men and sort of think they are only interested in gender inequality insofar as it means that they won't have to "shoulder the burden" or whatever.

    What gender role imposed by society do I hate the most? The idea that the most important indicator of my worth is whether or not men want to have sex with me.

    I LOVE THIS MAN.

    Side Note: have just started rewatching TNG, this time in the company of my four-year-old son. As soon as my son saw Capt. Picard, he said, "THAT guy's COOL!" Yes, yes, he is.

    In reply to Patrick Stewart: "The Truth Is That Domestic Violence Touches Many Of Us."
    I recently googled "Patrick Stewart Feminist" because I had heard he was part of that "This is what a Feminist looks like" campaign. One of the pages that came up was one of the most VILE things I have ever seen.

    It was a page called "antimisandry.com" and it's tagline was "curing Feminist indoctrination". They were badmouthing Stewart for being and "awful liberal" and they were also saying all kinds of stuff about awful "man-hating" feminists who they said actually want to KILL men. I stopped looking after that, it was just to gross.

    Sometimes I worry about the future of the human race.

    When I was 8 I had a crush on Data.

    Until 12 my dream man changed to Picard.

    Patrick Stewart, you are so.... :::swoon::: !

    Now this makes it even worse because I love to take care of men. Both mentally and otherwise. My heart goes out to you Mr. Stewart.....

    His article made me tear up, which, if you know me, you'll know is no small feat (being someone who has had no personal experience with domestic violence, nor has anybody close to me, and also being someone who rarely has emotional reactions).

    And worst of all was silence. When I could only hear footsteps it was the signal to be super-alert.

    Man, do I know how that goes.

    In reply to Patrick Stewart: "The Truth Is That Domestic Violence Touches Many Of Us."
    "The sense of guilt and loneliness provoked by domestic violence is tainting – and lasting. No one came, but everyone knew. Our small houses were close together. Every Monday morning I walked to school with my head down, praying that I would not encounter a neighbour or school friend who had heard the weekend's rows. I felt ashamed."

    This was the line that really stuck out for me. And it's also true for those who grew up with "only" emotional abuse. That kind of shame and loneliness is hard to get over, even years later.

    He just gets more and more awesome. Spokesperson for Amnesty International, speaking out against sexism, challenging what it means to be a "man" and domestic violence... I like your politics, Patrick Stewart.
