given the rate at which young women are resisting patriarchal propaganda and won’t ever be engaging in any sort of husband chasing or man-infantilizing, these boy moms are effectively pouring their lives and dignity into raising future suiciders.
I said this before: many people want to be in relationships so that they can treat people poorly. These men want to treat their wives in ways they'd never treat their friends because friends will leave.
@estherzelda0514 And yet a woman just reporting on what men say is considered to be the most scandalous being by both men and the majority of women who don't give a shit when it's men saying it themselves. Women are supposed to pretend not to know what men are publicly saying and doing.
i feel like it was easier before the time of the smartphone to keep people’s intentions and thoughts hidden. the more you see this type of “traditional” man revel in women’s suffering, isolation and one sided labour the less likely you are to romanticise them
Tengo una teoría: Las iglesias evangélicas han crecido tanto porque ofrecen redención sin arrepentimiento. Por eso se ha convertido en la religión favorita de gente que actúa con malicia. Para ellos solo se trata de “orar” pero no de actuar como buenos cristianos.
from that starting point.
they don't realize they need your head full of twilight & jane austen & city of skull & bones of the water tribe or whatever the fuck it is now
beyond a certain point when you are making decisions for your bloodline, the wellbeing of your kin & yourself (!) your decisions as a girl glut on sarah j maas need to be borne out as an adult woman with the responsibility of the world on your shoulders. this is not a good thing.
but i put in the bet the grievance is worth more than whatever the performance is to males generally & so far it's a good bet. the mask is off & it needs to stay off. there will be no luring & promising, & hopefully more clear eyed decisions. quality of life is at stake for women
it is that serious. children, should you choose, rely on those decisions. hell, even if you don't choose bc what men you keep around have consequences for the whole line. it's a setup from the beginning to the benefit of everyone else at your expense when you make decisions

Note: Men would never accept the framing of being called ‘emotionally vapid automatons incapable of romantic depth’ if it came from feminists; but because it’s used to absolve men & bludgeon women’s romantic expectations of them, men happily co-sign what’s essentially misandry.
that women in exchange *want* the performance even if she would never put it in those terms. those romance books & movies & songs propagandize her to pursue it, that it is worth pursuing, that whatever she has to give up in exchange is worth the exchange. you need those books!!
In other words: "media made you think males have a soul, most don't, accept it and lower your standards"
Sorry I have a better idea, I don't see any reason to be engaged with a mere sperm container and serve him my whole life.
