They'll say shit like "women aren't actually that empathetic despite what we're taught, I've gotten a lot of support from other men though."
I don't know how we're going to avoid this. We're empathetic? We get used. We're not? Then we're the devil incarnate who is response for men and their mental downfall.
I'm so exhausted ladies. I wish more of them understood that they aren't entitled to our empathy for a million fucking valid reasons.
With LVM you just don't give emotional labor, they go to their LVM bros, and all groupthink themsleves out of the gene pool and who cares if they think you're the devil
With HVM you can give emotional support (like that's part of a relationship), but he also gives emotional support back to you and everyone else in his life and never has this issue to complain about
"women aren't actually that empathetic despite what we're taught, I've gotten a lot of support from other men though." translation:
Women will not be his free therapist, emotional blankey. He leans on his male friends for support.
GREAT. This is exactly how it should be. Men I think have a mommy fantasy where they think it's their woman's responsibility to take them back into the womb. NO. It is his job to get his needs met, they will not all be met by one single person. A healthy person has a support network.
It’s sort of like how we shouldn’t cook/clean for men who aren’t our husbands. We shouldn’t provide emotional support to men we aren’t in a relationship with. If those men want emotional support/empathy from women, they need to commit to one and provide for her needs as well. If he’s “not looking for anithing serious right now” or “wants to be friends first,” then we need to B&D because he’s looking for casual sex or a free life coach.
I have a feeling their “bros” aren’t even sympathetic unless the issue is something they have experienced personally. That’s not quite the same as what’s expected from us. I have never had a wife leave me for another man and take alimony from me, but I could provide support for someone who went through that if I wanted to.
Erm... first off, they have nearly nothing to complain at women about. If they're going to complain, it needs to be to other men, and if they're ever complaining about women, you sniff that on them and don't fuck them. Men should never complain to women.
