Comment on Can't get that metallic taste out of my mouth
LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 week agoI’m not upset with the concept of disappointment. I’m calling out the fact that saying he’s disappointed with women for having piercings is a statement about how women’s bodies should be. It’s saying that women are beholden to an expectation of how their bodies should be, and that when they have nipple piercings they are failing to meet his expectations of them.

Why do you focus on the word “expectations”? The definition you yourself posted in this thread clearly mentions “hopes OR expectations”. I think the use of the term “disappointment” in this case refers to the “hopes” part. You can hope for something from someone without expecting it from them.
