It’s an outward expression of Conservative hierarchical values (I rant about this too much maybe…). Conservatives conserve the traditional hierarchies of society, for example God over man, men over women, straight over lgb, white over PoC, self over society, rich over poor etc. For them, people listening to Greta represents a perversion of the traditional hierarchy. Why would they listen to a young woman, advising the betterment of society? She’s not an older man, she’s not saying get rich and think of yourself, she occupies a low spot in multiple hierarchies so she must be wrong. But it isn’t enough for her to be wrong, she needs to be dominated because that’s how hierarchies work, the higher levels dominate the lower. Sexual violence is one of the classic forms of human dominance, so they don’t imagine beating her in an argument, they imagine raping her into submission instead.
Right. So it’s less “rape her until she’s happy about climate change” and more “rape her so she shuts up and knows her place”?
Because that does make sense to me, it’s just an expression of violence against those you disagree with.
They’re not intent on “fixing” her like those weirdos who think you can “fix” LGBTQ people with rape, but good old misogyny expressed through threats of sexual violence.
Man, now that I wrote that out it’s even more depressing.
I’m pretty sure that the people that want to “fix” LGBTQ people with violence don’t differentiate between being forced to submit and be silent versus actually being converted/fixed/whatever. It doesn’t matter if you are satisfied with your role in the hierarchy, only that you submit.
