You gotta understand that some people never really grow. They never learn their lesson. They never recognise their mistakes, they never acknowledge their faults, they never admit they were in the wrong. You will never receive an apology from them, and you will never see their behaviour change.
just say men
Okay, you know what? Usually, I would just roll my eyes and scroll by but today I’ve been triggered about four or five times and my anxiety is skyrocketing, so here I go.
First of all, because this site needs these kinds of claims, I am a cis female.
That out of the way, so no one goes all She Woman Man-Hating on me
GOOD GRIEF, do you really think this only exclusively applies to men? No. no it does flipping not. And by reducing it to men you ignore and diminish how women are also HUGE FREAKING JERKS and ABUSERS.
The person who destroyed my self-esteem, PUSHED me to severe depression, made it so would SIT IN A HALLWAY instead of going home, had panic attacks and made me question who I was as a person…
WAS A WOMAN.
And guess what. Every single line of that above description describes HER. SHE was always the victim, always had an excuse, NEVER changed, always talked about how she was actually a nice wonderful person, she was just having a “bad day.”
And you know who is one of the sweetest persons in my life, the person who genuinely wants to know what women experience, has intelligent dialogue, is working to change their perspectives, behaviors, and attitudes? MY BEST FRIEND’S HUSBAND. A CIS MAN.
So you know what, I KNOW it’s currently in fashion to shit on men, and make pithy comments like this. BUT when you do, you are really no better than all those men who write dismissive “Women, am I right” posts. Okay?
IF YOU WOULDN’T DO IT TO A WOMAN, DON’T DO IT TO A MAN.
Feminism means freaking equality, means equal treatment, means equal regard, so would you please stop undermining this by turning everything into some pithy one-liner that just makes it harder for women and men to get along?
