You couldn't be further off the mark.
I am in no way, shape or form defending this woman in particular or women who work in that industry.
It is really too bad that you refuse to even try to understand. You lack empathy and compassion and come off very close-minded. I do not understand how it is that you state you want to become a mental health care professional being that you come off this way.
But I could be very wrong.... EF is not an accurate way for us to portray all of who we are. I know that.
I am giving you a window into how others *might* percieve your behavior some day.
Take it with a grain of salt... WTF do I know?
You are right that it's hard to judge on here because that is not how I am trying to come off. I DO understand what you're saying but you KEEP putting words in my mouth and thinking that how you are saying I think, is what I am ACTUALLY thinking. YOU couldn't be more off the mark. I don't feel this is *safe* to joke about - I joke about it because the joke I said was funny. I don't CARE what men say about me because I have a strong sense of who I am and those opinions that matter to me are from those who I love and know me for who I am. How am I lacking empathy or compassion? Because I am trying to explain to you that what you are saying I am thinking is NOT what i am thinking or trying to come across off as? It's like you said - on the internet it's difficult to know. And for you to then go and judge about what I plan on doing in my profession? Don't you think that people in that area of expertise ALSO have opinions, jokes, lives, etc - this is THE INTERNET - not an accurate portrayal of a real life situation. Again, you misunderstand me and perhaps that is my fault.
