I don’t know how the stereotype became that women are the hysterical ones. Have you seen most people’s fathers when a slight inconvenience happens

That stereotype does amuse me, especially knowing about some older cultures’ gendered stereotypes. In Greece, for instance, the stereotype for women was that they were cold and analytical, which was of course bad in Greek culture. Men were praised as being more emotionally deep and empathic than women. Which kind of gives away the game. Whatever is culturally valued will be said to be a masculine trait, and since the Enlightenment strongly influenced Western culture to value logic and reason, that became the default man trait while its perceived opposite—emotion—became womanly. It’s likely to flip soon, at least in the U.S. where anti-intellectualism has reached a fever-pitch and conservative men are openly talking about how what they feel is true is more important after having tried their hands at being logic-bros for awhile.

wishing all people who constantly make “jokes” about hating men and men being disgusting etc. a very please fucking THINK about what you are doing and how you are harming the world at large

I thought about it and decided it’s fine

Controversial take but if you wrote a novel about two women falling in love and you changed one of them into a man you would have the most enormous smash hit of a romance book on your hands

Maybe because I met like 15 butch lesbians who are the real life equivalent of the ideal male romance lead and I have yet to meet a man who fits the archetype.

Ladies do you want a man who reads you classical novels when you can’t sleep? Bakes cakes, knits sweaters and is able to remodel your bathroom? Good with animals, kids and has a career they’re passionate about? Handsome but not vain? Sweet, sensitive but charmingly rough around the edges? A good conversationalist? Well that’s not a man, that’s my friend Jennifer

Any shit that acts like women just don’t understand how lonely cis men are fundamentally assumes that women don’t feel as deeply as men. They’ll concede that yeah, sure, women get lonely too, but that their silly female feelings can’t possibly compare to the deep tragedy men, the Main Character of the universe, go through. But what it really comes down to is an inability to reckon with the fact that women get just as lonely and depressed as cis men and yet don’t commit 98% of mass shootings and 90% of global homicide like they do. It’s much easier to excuse men choosing to be violent by acting like they have special sad feelings uwu that justify rape and murder than to examine the ways the patriarchy makes cis men feel entitled to hurt people because of their big sad feelings, and then constantly makes excuses for their actions

That double standard is also currently enforced on gen z and millennials when people make cool edits about loneliness in films/series but then only use characters of men who are most likely to be super violent as well. For one dollar please make edits with female characters who are lonely as fuck, men haven't got the monopoly of sadness and alienation.

men try sooooo hard to look like butch lesbians.. why are you cutting your hair short, having short nails, and wearing masculine clothing? youre not a butch 🙄

Okay but as soon as I see that a piece of art was made by a man I'm not impressed

Nice symphony did your wife feed and clothe and wash you while you wrote it

Cool painting/sculpture of a lady did your wife model it for you because you didn’t want to pay anyone to sit?

Sweet writing, did you steal it wholeclothe from your wife's diaries and leave her to do all the copying and editing?

I’d rather hang out with every female inmate on death row than a group of teenage boys and I mean that

some of yall need to get it drilled into your heads that being a lesbian has nothing to do with how you act or dress or what you like to eat or watch on tv you just have to be a female homosexual and if you realize that youll feel a lot better and also come off as way less annoying

GOOD FOR HER!!!!!!!

I get men being sad because they don't get complimented, but I wish they understood that most of the time there's nothing to compliment them about because they put zero effort on their appereance. What do you want me to say? Your t-shirt is very red and your hair is definitely there! Ugly fuck
