Does it say this woman's name anywhere because I'd love to see her credentials but her being a "molecular geneticist" doesn't make her an expert on transgender people nor does she seem to know what internalized misogyny is.

This is what a molecular geneticist does: 'Molecular genetics technologists work in labs and study the role of genetics in medicine. Technologists analyze a patient's DNA to research, diagnose, and treat many different diseases and disorders, such as cancers, congenital, and nervous system disorders."

This explains why she has no idea what she's talking about. At all.

Internalized misogyny is "Misogyny is the hatred of, contempt for, or prejudice against women or girls. Women who experience internalized misogyny may express it through minimizing the value of women, mistrusting women, and believing gender bias in favor of men." Women who have internalized misogyny generally hate themselves as women and they hate other women. These are the "pick me" women. They want men to like them so badly that they will throw other women under the bus, they compete with women. I used to have internalized misogyny because it was put into us in basic by the female drill sergeants. They literally said "There's two kinds of females in the Army - bitch or a slut. Which one are you going to be?" And that's the wrong attitude to have. I also have never had a female mentor from a SNCO perspective. I've barely had a female officer as a mentor. But especially females in mostly male units back then it was a competition and we always felt like we had to be "one of the guys" to fit in or avoid being sexually harassed or assaulted (which never worked).

I just looked up Geneva Convention and Hague Convention in regard to prisons and it only mentions prisoners of war should be treated humanely. There's nothing about just prisons. So I'm not sure what "statute" she thinks she's talking about or heard about. I don't even see laws about it but I found a survey from 1986 from the Corrections Compendium Journal that stated there were 35 prisons that housed men and women. 13 of coed prisons at that time were min security, 12 medium security, 3 min and med security where they had men and women who shared food, recreation, education and job services in those prisons. So they've apparently had coed prisons in the US before. Also what is she talking about the lockerroom? I don't understand these people about bathrooms and such. If no one is bothering me, I don't care who is in there. I think public bathrooms should all be coed. But she's a bit of a moron on this one there's nothing I can find in Hague or Geneva Conventions about prisoners. Only prisoners of war. The reason trans women don't want to be in a men's prison is that they're women. They're not men.

But that's internalized misogyny not the bullshit she spewed and not whatever was written in the OP.

On domestic violence - domestic violence occurs among any gender and any relationship. It happens in heterosexual and homosexual relationships. Men hit women, women hit men, women hit women and men hit men. It doesn't matter - anyone can be an abuser and anyone can be a victim. The statement of "we've all known battered women who refuse to 'escape' the beatings." Let's not call victims "battered women." You can simply say DV victim or, once they leave, a survivor. Also "We can't rationalize this behavior because it's irrational." It's really not that simple and if you've never experienced it, don't make such a statement. I was in a DV situation - I didn't expect it. Realize that narcissistic abusers don't seek people who are "weak" or "inferior" to them. They find people who are stronger and better than them because they want to tear them down. They want to defeat them. I never in a million years thought I'd ben in an abusive relationship and I was. Primarily, the abuse happened after he came down from meth but that was just the physical. There was emotional and mental. The issue is that they know how to get to someone who is a good person and play on that. Then the gaslighting...the gaslighting is the worst. They sit there and make their victim think THEY are the crazy one. THEY are the irrational one. THEY are the problem when it's the abuser.

I'm really not surprised by the OP with the post or the woman in the video. I know what kind of responses I'll get. It will be the usual from the usual people.

Interesting. I really don't think misogyny is the catalyst for what we are seeing in today's society regarding gender issues. I do, however, think that forces looking to dismantle the patriarchy paradigm are using gender as a weapon.
