Women are not objects or "just for show". They are people.
Women are not household slaves to clean up after you. They are not objects. Their worth is not dependent on how they cook or clean. Maybe you can be learn to be useful in the household.
Again, not objects. Not sex objects, not trophies for your viewing pleasure, not cleaning robots. And saying "doesn't mean it's true for all" doesn't make your sweeping generalization not demeaning or objectification. Anyone can be a good partner. If you keep having bad experiences with large groups of women, guess what... you're the common denominator.
Another generalization -_- the same people that say this kinda thing then unironically spend 12 hours playing video games or throw a tantrum when their sports team loses. It's a hobby for some people. And for others, they're told they're not worth anything unless they spend all their time looking perfect (like you just did in the last paragraph)
I will never understand how some people will say women are sex objects and then shame them when they have sex, all in the same breath. And if you're kinky or like sex, you're bad at marriage? That doesn't even make any logical sense.
Yeah, best place to hit on women is when they're grocery shopping lmao I don't know why, but this reminds me of parents telling their kids to put on a suit, walk into any company, shake the owner's hand, and you'll get a job.
Yeah, it's not like you describe. You have to work through that resentment you feel towards these women before you have a healthy relationship. Seriously, as a man who could have very easily become an incel, I'm telling you that the most important thing you can do is to think of women as people. Retrain your brain, reinforce the thought 'this woman is just like me, they are doing what they are doing for a reason. If I disagree with what they are doing, maybe I don't understand it. I'll try to understand it before criticizing it. And what this one woman is doing does not represent all women'
I was lucky enough to meet a woman who is a lot like the women you're criticizing. And she is an incredible wife and partner, and I have learned so much from her about what it means to be a woman. I hope one day you can find the same empathy and understanding.
You know nothing about me or my history/experience in life... yet, you're free to comment on it, but I'm not allowed π...
Just so weβre all clear, your little woman hating ass is NOT the victim here.
I do know something about your experience in life, you communicated that clearly, and continue to communicate that in all your replies.
You're free to comment your opinion, and I welcome you to comment on what you think my history/experience in life is like. But I will never stop defending women or really any other groups that are constantly harassed, demeaned, misrepresented, etc.
I do so hoping that you'll be open to learning something new, but if not then at the very least you'll know this is not a safe space for sexism, others have the chance to gain a new perspective or add to the discussion, and people in those groups know they are welcome here and valued as people.
