Women are socialized to be emotional supports and fixers.
Right.I’m not going to fall for the false justifications that women have given since the Garden of Eden lol, but I’m also humble enough to not act as an authority on the matter. When someone can give me an answer besides the cliché, excuse-making that’s been espoused for millennia, then I will listen with an open ear.Anonymous wrote:One could ask why you feel the need to post all your thoughts here, OP, and why you defend them so aggressively.
I mean, surely you don't think you are going to change anything. Is it just that you like to talk smack about women? Maybe sock-puppet with yourself? Get off on disparaging them, over and over?
I'm guessing you aren't part of the solution here.

And boy, there is *plenty* of dysfunction with men. We can talk about women in this thread, but let's not forget that.
If a retail worker is shot by an ex-partner, what are the odds you'll read THAT story and guess it might be a man who was shot? It's essentially always a woman. The raging man is a stereotype for a reason.
Once again, this category of men also includes nice guys. Women will drop their panties for a “nice guy” who whines about how his ex-girlfriends cheated him and the like.

OP I think that you might be missing some red flags if you don’t see dysfunction in men.

They find a mate by appearing to be a caretaker. Aka “wife material.”

For so long, I tried to deny and bargain this, but it’s true. The other day, I saw a social media thread about a woman who was cheating on her boyfriend. Her secret-lover impregnated her, but she got married to her boyfriend and told him the child was his. Her friend spilled the beans to the husband after the woman carried on with her lies.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:As I get to know women, I see a drastic and almost-immediate shift in their demeanors once I mention any hardships that I am suffering from. In the blink of any eye, they go from barely making eye contact to vividly engaging with me as I unload my baggage.
Then, I remember a panel of women collectively sharing how insecure they are about not eating certain foods on a 1st date, especially foods eaten by hand like ribs - because it makes them appear “unladylike.”
Is the stereotype of women like bad boys rooted in their desire to feel “needed,” and because it alleviates their need to appear like a Virgin Mary, knowing they’re dealing with someone who is also imperfect?
What's truly strange is many of them don't want to appear "unladylike", but so many truly are unladylike.
