So I just read this post, loved it, and agreed with pretty much all of it. I often think that talking about internalised anything can lead to a lot of dead ends, insofar as people who don't care that they're offending other people won't care if they've internalised offensive stuff. And a decent person's response to offending someone is is the same whether internalised [x] is acknowledged or not: make amends, and (try your best to) stop being offensive.
But! That's not why I'm commenting. Thanks to Tumblr's recent 'think of the children!' moral panic, they're censoring certain tags, which means I can't access the link anymore; Tumblr's auto-sort is reacting to the word 'misogyny' & blocking it by default. (Along with words like 'lesbian', 'gay' and so on. But that's another rant. Ugh.) So, just thought you might like to know that there's a broken link there.
