I quoted you five things out of your own writing where you passed judgement on the world and on society. These things are world-view statements. Either my assessments are incorrect because you didn't mean what you wrote and did not expect them to be taken seriously or you did intend them as reflections of your actual views and my observations are valid.
To wrap this up, every day I live in a society that is sexist as hell and doesn't... particularly care for women.
If you believe what you wrote literally, how can you entertain any hope for optimism or happiness? You've already decided that, as a woman, you've been born on the predetermined losing side. The deck is permanently stacked against you. Why try?
If I wanted to stop being pissed off about sexism, I would have to never interact with another human being by any means, including any media and potentially clothing.
The word "never" is pretty definitive and what's more it is an absolute. How am I supposed to take that sentence as meaning anything other than "If I can't relate to the others as 'pissed-off feminist' or at least as 'generic woman' then I can't relate to anyone else at all"? Everyone treats you in a prejudicial fashion because you happen to have two X chromosomes? I'd say that's a pretty extreme view.
