The most destructive piece of internet lore ever created is the phrase: "If they wanted to, they would."
It sounds empowering, but it is actually deeply narcissistic. It assumes that a person’s actions are dictated 100% by their desire for you, while completely ignoring their capacity.
A partner can desperately want to give you the world, but if they are fighting a silent financial war, battling burnout, or dealing with a health crisis, their capacity is at zero. Measuring a stressed partner's love strictly by their ability to "perform" is a lethal mistake. "If they wanted to, they would" is the fastest way to lose a fiercely loyal partner over a temporary lack of bandwidth.
They don’t REALLY want a man with emotional intelligence; they actually want a man who practices “EMOTIONAL ACCOMMODATION.”
What they really want is: I want to feel and express my emotions however I want, whenever I want, and you will take it, validate it, and comfort me… even if it destroys you in the process.
Emotional intelligence isn’t about catering to someone else’s every mood. It’s the ability to control your OWN emotions, think clearly under pressure, and respond like a rational adult. It’s about self-control, awareness, and taking responsibility for how your feelings affect others.
also when they say they want a man with emotional mature, what they actually mean is: be hyper-attentive to my moods, anticipate my feelings, bend
yourself around me, and put my emotions above everything else. But the moment a man stands up for his own feelings, sets
boundaries, or refuses to constantly carry their emotional load, he’s branded “insensitive” emotionally unitelligent or “emotionally immature.”
Let’s be honest: they don’t want intelligence…they want an emotional punching bag.
🔥WATCH — @debunkjunction: “So let me get this straight… @joerogan is staring at a chart where the data ends before Trump is even elected, but is somehow trying to tie the reduction in drug overdose deaths (under BIDEN) to the Venezuelan boat strikes??”
Brilliant from jamiekaler! It's hard to make light of such a terrible crime, but this might help some thick-as-shit MAGA fanboys understand why this is wrong.
Fun fact, if a foreign nation came into our country and arrested Trump, and took him back to their country to face “justice”… Millions of people would be celebrating in the streets. That doesn’t make it legal or just, or constitutional.
If a foreign nation went in Israel & arrested Benjamin Netanyahu, who has an international warrant for his arrest for war crimes, I would probably join people celebrating in the streets, but that wouldn’t make it just or legal or constitutional.
The ends can’t “justify the means” where the rule of law and international order is meant to prevail.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."
BREAKING: AOC tells the truth about Mike Johnson.
“The only people who are not in Washington, are the over 200 elected Republicans in the House because Mike Johnson refuses to call the house in session, he refuses to also seat Adelita Grijalva because they want to prevent the 218 signature on release of the Epstein files as well.”
