I get what you mean. It can come off in a bad way, but at the same time any time anybody gets proud or feels satisfied, it's natural body language--male or female. Try it yourself: think of a good memory from your life, embody it, give yourself up to the memory...then... feel your spine straighten, and a smile rise to your face.

There's a difference, but it's also very similar. The world doesn't have to be a place where there's nothing to feel happy about or proud of! :)

But also, the easy analogy between the actual dictators of the past and the entertainment politicians of today...is made too loosely I think. And that drive to label and mislabel, is a classic tool of propagandists, which are highly associated the things those labelers are apparently also against (ie, dictators, authoritarianism, puritanism, monoculture, punishing of dissent, etc).

I don't think it's your fault. It's the weird thing about today where it's like we can't talk about anything, even of these (think about it, fundamentally) minor differences. Heavy sigh....
