I think a lot of woman on here acting outraged at this quote are not honest with themselves about how women “love” men, maybe it’s because I grew up in florida with a lot of women and girls who were very misogynistic but I rarely saw women love a man for who he was past the persona he performed or the resources he could provide. I think we live in a society that is very bad at love and women think they are good at it because they take on a majority of the care roles but care isn’t love. I don’t know, it’s hard to put into a tweet but all the feminists angrily saying “women have been doing this for years and all we get is abused and mistreated” are just missing the point entirely. Many women are their sons first bully (and daughters). women uphold the patriarchy and are warped by it and that is still true even when we are the victims of it. I still know so many women who openly admit they hate when men cry or act “feminine”. It doesn’t help anyone to act like women are perfect, how could any of us be perfect raised in this abusive culture?
Style becomes a lot more interesting when you stop thinking of clothes as a way to look younger, hotter, or richer. Or as a way to gain status and advance your career.

My therapist dropped a gem: you can't spend your life avoiding heartbreak or bad things from happening. You have to condition yourself to have appropriate emotional responses but learn to keep moving forward.
