To make progress, more shadow work could be done, maybe?

Maybe when people are so much meaner to certain types of girls and women and act so discriminatory towards them in ways that have triggered anxiety, nightmares and panic attacks in someone like me, reminding me of callous cruel behavior that has happened before, it's because they weren't ever given any permission to explore their shadow side.

People are like: "That one is bad" (projecting their shadow more onto certain types of women) and then they treat her badly, or ignore what she's saying, while making all kinds of excuses for other kinds of cruelty. Because that's they were taught to make excuses for. That's what Nazis did, too. But people have "comparison to Nazis" fatigue. 

Here's a cat to say hello to me.

I am glad my cat is nicer to be around than some people who just get rewarded when they cluelessly repeat old patterns of discrimination because they weren't taught to do any better than that.

But shadow work certainly is a very good concept to explore more.
