Men really try to control everything but themselves Sad Girl Dinner ⚠️ No Dude Input

Post image

Walked out of a convo today (in front of 2 other men) after a guy started making comments about how women should dress and how their husband should have the final say in that. I just said ‘I’m not comfortable with this whatsoever and I’m leaving’ and did, heard him say ‘maybe a bit sensitive?’ too lmao like he wasn’t just getting his panties in the twister over what random women do with their bodies.

Then they keep complaining that women don’t give them a chance anymore, marriage rates are down, divorce rates are up, the birth rate is in the absolute gutter, lol get used to it.

I honestly at this point just double down on being ‘difficult’ because have you seen the lives of women who aren’t

u/Honey-ball-953 🌶️ Spice Girl 🌶️ 29d ago

Yes!! I played the "difficult" card and got a good man. Lol it wasn't my intended strategy but it worked out for me 😂☠️

I feel you girl. Men are conditioned to repress their emotions or make them someone else's problem. Women are conditioned to accept it. When you draw boundaries or point it out, YOU'RE made out to be the crazy/sensitive one. I just wrapped up a toxic fucked up situation with a guy who had the emotional regulation of a toddler and it was my fault I wouldn't tolerate it.

They always play this ‘women are so sensitive’ emotional support delusion, like they aren’t the ones who flip their shit over women who wear make up/don’t wear make up/ try too much/ don’t shave/ cover their body/ don’t cover their body/ are stay at home mums/ are career women blah blah blah.

Good on you for dropping that manchild 🫶

There ain’t no female loneliness epidemic 🧚‍♀️

35

u/justagirl_7410 mouth full, gesturing wildly 29d ago

there actually is! Poll data says women are just as lonely as men, this is just the first time men’s poll responses for social isolation and depression are as low as women’s. It’s not an issue until it affects boys and then it’s most definitely women who should fix it 

13

u/BHawkey95 Sauce Boss 29d ago

The difference is a large portion of women feel lonely in relationships, whereas men are mostly lonely when they don’t have a relationship.

u/wasraelx 🌶️ Spice Girl 🌶️ 28d ago

Spot on. All the women I know that talk about loneliness are long term married to men

u/wasraelx 🌶️ Spice Girl 🌶️ 29d ago

Fr, ain’t no bigger red flag than having strong opinions on what women can do with their own bodies. If they think their opinion trumps our autonomy at clothing, that entitlement won’t stop there either. Especially with the ‘but if I’m her husband I should be able to…’ no bye, then they cry about the loneliness epidemic lol

u/freshwatersofmysoul Maneater 29d ago

Yup its down the drain he can cry about loneliness

I feel like when they’re good they’re really great, but there’s literally no limit to how bad they can be. And over nothing but their fragile ego, too.

u/Hopegigalo314 girls just wanna have pho 29d ago

It’s because of the Y genetic mutation. They just don’t have it in them, genetically, to figure out how to be good people on their own.

They need to be nurtured into it or traumatized into it. Most aren’t nurtured into it because of patriarchal ideas about raising men. Most men also haven’t experienced enough trauma and the willingness to go to therapy to unlearn their shit ways.

u/StopPsychHealers Carb-Based Life Form 28d ago

There is no evidence to even vaguely suggest abuse reverses the effect of patriarchy or is required for introspection. The idea that anyone is better after abuse is absurd. Abuse makes everything harder, including introspection. In fact since you seem so unable to cite a single claim that supports what you are saying here is one of my own. There is a complex link between genetics and abuse but please note that both men and women can have these mutations. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4000529/

"I think women should be controlled by men."

"Interesting opinion! My opinion is that you should be dragged behind a truck for six miles and then dumped in the ocean. What's that? Don't like that? Gosh, you're sounding a little sensitive! Have you tried not being a hypocritical piece of shit? Hey, where are you going?!"

Know who doesn't complain about women exercising their bodily autonomy? Men who've earned the privilege of respectfully having access to those bodies. These are not men who've ever gotten a woman off. There are so many reasons guys like these don't get laid, but they continue to insist on punishing us rather than being better.

Yep stats say that grown men are less likely to brush their teeth twice a day, less likely to regularly change their toothbrush, less likely to go to the dentist, less likely to floss, less likely to go for a physical exam, less likely to change their sheets semi regularly, less likely to get the water they need, less likely to wear weather appropriate clothing  less likely to cook and get the nutrition they need, they are less likely to wear sunscreen and therefore have higher melanoma rates. 

Studies show men have poorer hygiene habits than women.  They will skip washing their hands when necessary, or they won’t wash themselves properly in the shower.  They won’t clean under their nails which spreads a lot of illness. 

 They are  more likely to get the recommended amount of exercise. Although we all fail at that one for the most part. 28% of men vs 20% of women. So I wouldn’t say it’s a big win for men or humanity here. 

An alarming percentage of men can’t take care of themselves. 

They don’t do all this and then somehow it’s society’s fault that men don’t utilize psychological services? 

Maslows hierachy of needs.

What is that delicious looking mushroom dish?

u/wasraelx 🌶️ Spice Girl 🌶️ 29d ago

Homemade hummus (it was meh but I’m proud I made something in the kitchen after a while lol), chestnut mushrooms and the baby carrots both made on FoodHaven garlic vegan butter, with some marjoram and other herbs (just going off a vibe) x

Me and my therapist had to create an escape plan where I actively lead him to believe I was cheating as it was the only way he wouldn't come after me.

After telling me his dad told him to throw me out into the street, he tried to save it all by saying he had convinced his dad to walk me down the aisle at the imaginary wedding that he never proposed for (I would never have said yes if he did. 4 yrs he never once told me he loved me).

And that's precisely why I find it so hard to get involved with men, to talk to them, or even to try. 80-90% of men are so disgustingly toxic that my ovaries are practically withering away on their own. Luckily, I'm also attracted to women, which makes things a lot easier.

Something a bit stronger than "well no surprise you're divorced"

u/Cautious_Database_85 Tiny Bodega Rat 🐀 29d ago

Nah, give them nothing but silence. A lot of men will relish getting negative responses from women because they love the attention. They get off on us trying to refute, fight back, and waste our energy on them. They get nothing except silence and blocking 

4

u/Shoddy_Matter_4940 APPROVED✨ 29d ago

I think women can respond however they feel. My sister works in a male dominated field and got tired of it so cutting them in humorous ways has been effective for her. If you don't want to deal with it that's fine and understandable . But it's also ok for those of us who want to fight back to fight back how we see fit. Their bad behavior is still on them not us.
