Attention-Seeking Behavior, Depictions Thereof & Sexism

Maybe we are simply using the word “attention” differently. What I mean by it is that she is placing herself at the center of the discussion about how the democratic party will function in the Senate. She is doing this not because she can use this position to benefit the people she represents, or to pass policy goals. She appears to be doing it for, as you say, personal goals unrelated to her position as Senator. To me that is attention seeking behavior and it has nothing to do with her sex or gender

Thank you! Yes, we absolutely are. My concept of attention seeking behavior is that the goal is to receive the attention, as something of value in and of itself. Stunts to get attention with a further goal in mind to me aren’t attention seeking behavior, and if they are to you, we’re having a disagreement of language.
