You're missing the point. It's not to identify; the point is to attack confidence and self-esteem. Little girls have been doing it to each other for as long as there have been little girls. It's artful, indirect, aggression designed to injure psychologically without triggering a defensable physical retaliation.
I was just describing my theory on the incorrect usage of the word homophobia.....
There are no such things as hate crimes...just crimes of violence and as soon as we just prosecute people for the crimes of violence and stop trying to be mind police the better off the country will be.....
I dont understand how the little girl analogy fits here???
