Thats a really weird thing to read into a single stock photo of a woman you don't know... So yeah, maybe that is worth unpacking a bit 😅
Lady is hot and therefore either stupid or pretending to be stupid she can fuck weird alt-right men? Its a single image of a pretty woman and you've invented a whole character and backstory that just so happens to fit nicely with sexist tropes 😅
I don't think that like makes you a bad person who hates women, but it might be worth setting down the defensiveness and asking yourself why that's what you read into stock photos of attractive women
Edit: added last paragraph for clarity
i'm literally reading the expression on her face. what does that expression say to you? does this look like an active, engaged participant in… well, anything?
having women look dumb in photo shoots is as old as photo shoots, and it's done to reinforce misogyny. this photo isn't an accident, it was done with a team of people trying to achieve a look. she's playing her part, and she's good at it. i bet she practiced a lot.
If you get that expression all the time from women, I have some bad news for you.
sometimes i really question people's reading comprehension
