…how on one hand there’s a male loneliness epidemic and women are partly to blame because we’re so picky - and yet on the other hand things like this.

How can we both be desperately needed for your emotional health but also be huge annoying burdens? I don’t get it.

    I definitely see rhetoric about how picky women are and how we won’t just give men chances.

    Fair enough…I’m not fussed about relationships and unless you’re literally Daniel Naroditsky I’d rather chill in my comfortable armchair than bother going on a date. But why all this complaining if we’re just huge annoying burdens you need to be rescued from marrying?

      because it’s significantly easier to blame and complain about women than it is to “risk” becoming equals by joining the fight against the patriarchy which is actually to blame.

      Just like it’s easier for them to dismiss their behaviour as “a joke” and gaslight you in to thinking you’re basically “just being hysterical”, than it is to admit they’re being actively misogynistic (which they 100% are).
