to copy my comments:
I have seen a trend of this, not particularly on this subreddit which is rather reasonable, but in general, of people anti-NLOGging so hard that we seem to have cycled back around to becoming NLOGs.
I think Sarah Z made a very good analysis on the NLOG phenomenon and I can highly recommend her video on it, which discusses internalized mysogyny, but I also wanted to highlight it here.I
t boils down to this: every decision a woman makes is at the danger of being reframed to center around the man. Even when she's not seeking the attention of a man, her inattention is reframed to be a coy way to signal "look at how I'm not like the other girls here! pick me!"I do think it's also a form of internal mysogyny, to look to other women being different and immediately think "they're doing it for attention" instead of it being a genuine expression. It's understandable because as women we are socialized to be performers for the male gaze.
I do often see posts on this sub that are very obviously either satire or just a lighthearted joke not intended to take other women down. And I think that's fitting for the argument I am trying to make.
