Women and men both have their own forms of discrimination to face. We both have obstacles to overcome. We both have goals in life we strive to reach
And men need to step up and talk with these boys..tell them girls are to be treated with the respect they demand is shown to them. That there's more to girls than their bodies. That their own success or failure isn't the fault of anyone else. That they need to work through their own problems, their own insecurity and not blame womankind for all their woes.
Social media is a huge factor in so much that we now face . People are free to voice the most odious of opinions without consequence. Men who have failed relationships with women write horrendously misogynistic claptrap that younger men believe as a universal truth.
Does having the wrong address on my car insurance invalidate my policy?
And boys listen to this. They see their future as bleak, and they too blame women even as they don't know why.
I think in part they get this attitude from hard-core porn so readily available via their mobile phones. Studies have shown that boys are both accessing such images earlier and that porn acts in the same way as hard drugs on young minds.
The lack of respect being shown towards women is everywhere. Girls report the abuse they suffer at the hands of boys at school. This is too often sexualisation of young girls not equipped to deal with such things and done by boys who's only sexual encounters are via Porn Hub.
Are there any guys, crossdressers, or transgender girls here who wear tampons?
Boys see these portrayals and think all women are out to get whatever they have.
The dehumanisation of women via porn can't be stressed enough imo.
Women need to raise their daughters to know they aren't just sex objects, that they can do things without either taking their clothes off or needing a man to pay
Is it very wrong to want to spend some time with husband after continuous work for 5 days in a weekend because my husband thinks if we go out every weekend what night my parents and other family members think?
And then there's the usual suspects such as Andrew Tate…who reinforce such awful stereotypes and pander to the male ego by villifing women.
But we should be looking at the youth of today and see what's going wrong with them.
And then there's such things as TikTok. Girls and young women do themselves no favours on such platforms imo. They are often seen as greedy, self absorbed ppl who care only for what a man has rather than wanting a relationship with him albeit not a long term one.
Hi everybody! I have been looking at posts on narcs and narc abuse on here and if has really helped me out a lot. I am currently struggling with my situation and need some advice/support.
I met a narc last year, everything seemed to good to be true. Love bombing, always texting calling and taking me on dates. Everything changed when someone warned me about him out in public in front of him and who he is. This caused a conflict with us and the love bombing seized.
he would tell me that everything is okay and i can come and talk. He would set a time limit on me and kick me out after that.
he would then text me like everything was fine and we hung out again and after that he completely ghosted me for one week. He came back and texted me a week later laughing about the ghosting and acting like nothing had happened.
he continued to text me ( not like in the beginning) make plans with me, then on the day of the plans he would just ghost me. One day he would act interested the next silence.
i contacted him a month later and he acted like nothing happened. He was on a vacation and sent me a picture of another woman ( someone he allegedly met on the trip) to strike a reaction but i never gave him one. After the trip he came to my place and was extremely rude, accusing me of going on dates with a bunch of men. The next day he accused me of being an alcoholic and that he wanted nothing to do with me but said well maybe we can be "friends" then ghosted me
i assumed at this point it was over and i would never hear from him again. He contacted me on the holiday a month later acting like everything was great. We ended up hanging out a month or so later and when we hung out it went well, i thought things were going in the right direction.
after we hung out.. silence. I would try to text him and if he replied it would be very short then he just stopped replying. He ghosted me for almost three months. I thought he was done this time and of course he popped up again like nothing happened. At this point i was getting sick of if so i questioned him as to why he dissapeared and always does this. Of course he had some sob story about a injury and family member dying of cancer. I felt pity for him and he gave me an apology.. so i took him back stupidly.
things seemed to be going smooth for a couple months, of course until his family member died and his injury got better he never contacted me and was distant. Menawhile, i was there for him during the difficult time for him. He lied to me about the funeral and never wanted to chat. I was chasing him and he would always claim nothing was wrong but when i said i thought he used me when he was down he could not handle it and would always tell me he didnt care and to go away. I would get so upset i would try texting him to work it out he would barelt respond and if he did he would not be nice about it.
we did hang out a couple times after that, he would ignore me after. One day i was like hey i think you are seeing someone else, and i was like well ixam seeing someone so no problem if you are he said " buy bye good luck with your new guy stop contacting me" i was devastated and tried to get into contact with him for weeks then i just gave up and accepted it was over. He ended up contacting me a month later acting like everything was fine. He wanted to go out and have drinks i told him i would. He and i both seemed to have a great time. He ends up ignoring me again. I kept texting him trying to figure out what was wrong. He kept saying everything was fine and i said ok can we hang out again? He said maybe i was like why? He just kept saying maybe …
our last conversation we had… i said what is wrong ? He said nothing is wrong everything is fine. I asked him why he keeps saying maybe. He said " maybe but i dont want to see you right now" i said why? He saix " im just not feeling it, if i wanted to date i would" i said why did you contact me less then a week ago wanting to go out? He said i didnt.. even though he did. So i said should i just move on or what? He said whatever you want to do. So i said that he was really confusing me and asked him if he had anything more to say before i move on? My messages were turning green so i panicked he blocked me and reacted irrationally. I said " omg did you block me? My messages are not going through. Even texted him on my work phone asking what was up. And called him twice ( please dont judge me i know it is pathetic i never was this type of girl before him) so he replied and said " Ok I'll block you now" then immedietly blocked me. He has never blocked me before since I have met him he will just ghost. Is this ths final discard aka " grand finale? Did i just push him too far?
this has upset me so much its hard to even function.
Women have become ultra independent in the last couple of decades . We have our own finances, our own homes, our own lifestyles. We have worked hard and have broken into industries that were male dominated. We are visible now…we are the ones in charge and for the men left behind we are again the enemy . Instead of maybe looking within, these men blame us for their woes.
