There's a long, documented, researched, history of women being raised to expect things from men too. But if you seriously think this is the average expectation of men towards women, then you should go outside and touch some grass. Just because toxic gender stereotypes exist, does not mean you have to acknowledge every bullshit sexist stereotype as the truth.
Women know that it isn’t every man, you’re not being helpful here. Women tell us all the time that they don’t feel safe and can back it up with so many examples of people that come off as good right until they’re putting her body in separate garbage bags. For a less intense version of that they come around to trust people and even accidentally the man ends up defensive and trying to make excuses for poor behaviour(s).
They deal with this shit all the fucking time and you complaining like you’re the victim in a post about their struggles is exactly what they’re fucking talking about.
Yes, women deal with literal serial killers all the time. Touch grass and come back to reality. 🙄
I literally said it was an intense example. If that’s what you took from my comment then good fucking lord…
You’re being a shitty person right now, I hope one day you can gather the strength to acknowledge it and do better.
No, and I throw that right back at you. Because you're just supporting terrible stereotypes that further aid in the great divide and ultimately just feed the incel community. It's like me saying all women are cheaters because that's basically my experience, but at least I can acknowledge that I'm just an easy target for female predators instead of shoving it onto the gender as a whole. When you say "all men blah blah blah" then it does not matter if you truly mean it or not, you're still ending up attacking and insulting everyone who is not part of that shit. And what's the next reaction to it? "Oh don't be so sensitive / fragile!" - which basically comes back to just being a toxic masculinity comment about men having to be strong and take it without complaining.
Thanks for proving my point.
Yikes.
