The absolute darkest truth about how society views men is that we do not actually value male life; we only value what a man is willing to destroy himself to provide. Think about the male archetypes we actually celebrate. The soldier who doesn't come home. The father who works three grueling jobs until his heart gives out. The athlete who permanently destroys his brain and body for our entertainment. We only applaud masculinity when it is actively bleeding for the benefit of someone else. The exact moment a man decides he wants to step off the treadmillโto prioritize his own peace, his mental health, or his physical safety over his utility to the worldโhe is instantly branded as lazy, weak, or unambitious. We donโt want men to be whole, healthy, or at peace. We want them to be highly functioning shock absorbers. We demand they build the houses, fight the wars, and fund the lifestyles, and our only reward for this lifelong, crushing expectation is a quiet funeral when the stress finally kills them
@UberEats I think I have just become a victim of outright delivery fraud. I ordered a medium pizza on March 17th, at around 10:45pm from Papa Johns. ETA was around 10:55pm. I was standing outside my apartment at 10:53pm to get my order. At around, 10:54pm I got a text from the dr
@UberEats All my attempts to escalate the issue with the customer service was futile, claiming my sending the code was definitive proof that I received the order. @UberEats I am calling everyone's attention to this because in truth I am not expecting any resolution from you guys.
@UberEats He then said "he delivered the pizza on my chair already" when I sent the code. To erase all doubt, I knocked at my neighbors' very late in the night asking if anyone of them got a pizza delivery on their chair, non of them did (making me look like a lunatic by the way) All my
@UberEats iver requesting a code from me, I did text the code, thinking he did this to save himself waiting time when he eventually arrived. Lo and behold, my order marked as delivered. I stood in the -8ยฐc weather for 2mins wondering what had happened. I then called the where to be found
@bbambied I ordered a medium pizza 10pm last night this is 2am and neither I nor any of the neighbors of the block received the pizza, I did text him the code thinking he was a minute away, this is the wildest experience I have ever had.
We women live a terrifying double life. A mother will look at her teenage son with absolute, boundless empathy. She will hold him when he cries, tell him his feelings matter, and pray to God that he finds a woman who loves him for his pure heart, not his wallet.
But that exact same woman will turn around and look at her husband, who is literally someone elseโs grown son and treat him like a malfunctioning piece of farm equipment if he loses his job or shows a moment of emotional fragility. We completely compartmentalize the fact that the men we drain, stress out, and demand traditional protection from were once little boys who were promised that their hearts mattered.

Look at the advice mothers pass down. It is pure, unfiltered hypocrisy.
We sit our daughters down and say: "Never settle. Make sure he is a provider. If he is struggling financially, do not build him up, leave him. You deserve a King." But if a mother catches wind that her son's girlfriend is treating him that way? If her son loses his job and his girlfriend packs her bags? That mother will lose her mind. She will call the girlfriend a gold-digger. She will call her toxic.
We are actively raising our daughters to become the exact type of women we pray our sons never meet.
