Maybe someone automatically assumed she tried to play the victim because she's a woman.
Maybe someone observed a few of her posts on here, and came to the conclusion that she possibly has some sort of "victim complex".
That might be the case... but even so, it does not negate the very real point she was making.

Aha! So she does have a victim complex.

And, Mr. Trigonometry, I stand by mine.
1) obtuse in a non-mathematical definition is "not quick or alert in perception, feeling, or intellect; not sensitive or observant; dull."
2) In mathematics, it is geometry, not trig
3) If you are going to insult me, do it right.
4) If you REALLY believe what you are saying about this stuff... Never mind... I cannot finish this thought without being insulting...
Okay: Mr. Geometry, then.

But I have to tell you... most people do not want or need a pat on the head... to most, nts and Aspies alike... that is condescending...
Your feeling that everyone crave a pat on the head means that you believe that everyone needs to have someone invade their personal space and touch them... Very few peopel crave that kind of contact...

A metaphorical pat on the head, then. Some token or expression of appreciation. No touching, and no tactile/kinesthetic stimulation.

Let's talk about the christian god... you asked "How would churchgoers who venerate Yahweh be minimizing him by glorifying him?" Different setting... according to the book, the deity ASKED for that behavior... "Benevolent Sexism" does not ask, it just does, presuming that your treatment of them is what they want, need or should receive, REGARDLESS of their wishes...
Ironically enough... They fall into the same category as benevolent sexists... they are providing the behavior that THEY feel he wants... regardless of his wishes... with every denomination handling it differently, all worshiping the SAME deity... And none of them getting it right... or at best... ONE group getting it right...
but the example is flawed in that the deity is not going to give you direct feedback... hence the schisms of faith... and women will...

Well, the deity did get in a big huff and flood the whole planet once.

My point remains... benevolent sexism is advocating this behavior... without asking the women what they REALLY want... Veneration only serves to set one aside... and while a small percentage of women want that, most do not... most polls and interviews show that women want to be a partner, not have someone worship them... so intent aside... the benevolent sexist is presuming that they know what the woman needs and wants better than she does and is imposing his will and behavior upon her... which is the very thing that feminism is opposed to.
Women are indeed mysterious creatures. It is impossible to fathom what that "mystical, nice-smelling collective" really wants sometimes.

You are basically arguing that a guilded cage is better than a wrought iron one or a locked basement... it is still a prison of expectation imposed by the will of another... Which is exactly what gender roles are...
Interesting metaphor. So, display nothing that could be construed as chivalry to a lady, or you are confining her to a cage?

Why do girls play with dolls instead of erector sets? because they are girl toys? Why? because baby dolls trained them to take care of siblings and eventually their own children in past ages... Why can't girls play with erector sets, build robots, be video game designers, assistant directors, ceos? There is no reason... except that society states that they should be girls...
Well, girls can play with erector sets, build robots, be video game designers, assistant directors, and ceos. You're making a big sexist leap there. Girls play with dolls because they like to play with dolls.

Hell, with some of the tools of the modern geneticist, it is possible to remove the genetic material from an egg and fertilize another woman's egg and make a baby... So... LITERALLY, the differences between male and female are moot... especially in that case... which one is the mother? which is the father? Next time, does the other one carry the baby?
No need for men any more, then. Our spermatozoa are obsolete.
