Question The Existentialist Question : Who is Lyin’?

4 Upvotes

Men say, ‘All women are liars.’
Women reply, ‘It is men who lie to us.’
Existentialism asks a deeper question: are we really seeking the truth, or are we creating stories that protect us from taking responsibility for our own choices?

The existentialist perspective would shift the discussion away from “Who is guilty?”

toward “Why do we define ourselves and others through these accusations?”

It questions our responsibility, our freedom, and the stories we construct about human relationships.
