Why do men love to label women as crazy?

Men have labelled women as crazy since the dawn of time. Read the books "sexy but psycho" to learn how men have been labelling women as crazy for centuries and "why does he do that" to learn how abusive men think, as they both give you an answer. Men literally got the term Hysteria from the womb "Hystera" and were convinced the womb wanders loose around a woman's body and makes her "hysterical".

Your ex bf is calling you crazy and manipulative because abusive men love to turn the tables. HE is crazy and manipulative, dating a woman 30 years younger than him because women his age usually know better, are more expensive and less naive.

Why do men call women crazy? To control them, to silence them, to gaslight and therefore manipulate. Remember, abusive men pretend they are always right and justified in their actions even if they are the worst most dangerous type of abuser.

"Crazy" as a label from men means one of a few things :

1) He drove her to it with constant gaslighting and emotional abuse

2) He wants to be seen as the victim but can't actually come up with any of her actions that weren't justifiable so uses the nebulous 'crazy' to invoke a knee-jerk assumption that she was the bad guy in the situation

3) -This is the one most applicable to you - He's trying to get you to prove that you aren't crazy by complying with his wants in spite of your own feelings.

Cut all ties, cut him out of your life. You deserve better.

When a man calls me crazy, I take it as a win. To me it means that he has realized how garbage or even wrong he is or has been, but does not have the strength, maturity or will to handle it and work on it.

It also gives me the confirmation that I have not really said or done anything wrong. That I have been kind, patient and logical beyond limits.

However, it is a win ONLY if we walk away and never look back.

So, congratulations ✨️✨️ Wish you all the best in your healing and level up journey 🌸👍

In short, it's a control tactic.

Men do terrible terrible things to women and treat them badly and then label women as crazy for having an appropriate reaction to their abuse. It's a control tactic to get you to comply and continue to take the abuse. They wrong you and then make YOU feel bad/guilty like you're overreacting and at fault for the harm they cause/bad things that they do to you.

Men are the crazy/manipulative beings. After all it's men who abuse animals, babies, women, children. Men who kill when rejected. Men who have started wars. The list goes on.

He lashed out because you are taking away his number one need. SEX. He demanded sex before doing anything nice for you, because that was his "payment" for doing anything nice for you. He wasn't going to be a simp, and do nice things for a female without getting something in return. ie: SEX for his efforts. Plain and simple. So now he has to insult you, because you are getting wise to his ways, and taking sex off the table, which is a males NUMBER ONE NEED. For example: humans rely on 3 things to survive, food, air and water. If you were dating someone for the exchange of Air to breathe, and that was the only reason you were dating them, because they had air, and you needed that air to survive, then one day, they tell you they aren't going to give you air anymore, you'd be pretty pissed right? Because you know now you are going to go back into survival mode, and be dying because you don't have air. Just needed to give you an example of how desperately males NEED sex and will do anything to get it .

And thanks for listening to us and taking your picture off your profile:)

Men label women as "crazy" because it gives them an easy out. It's hard to look at your own flaws or to admit that you made mistakes. It's far easier to just label someone as "crazy" because it puts all the blame on them and absolutely none on you.

maybe it's because we don't kill them over jealousy or "honor"

Because men themselves are crazy. Projecting onto you keeps you confused and defensive, which distracts you from all the crazy shit they're doing and maintains their control over you.

Men label women as crazy to neutralize our power and self agency. I was once on the site Chumplady (a great resource btw way for anyone recovering from a partners infidelity tho it allows male commenters), and a man whose wife had left him for a work colleague was speaking about his first forays into the world of middle aged dating. He had dated a woman for 6 months that he met on Tinder, but labeled her “crazy” because she wanted to be in a relationship that eventually lead to marriage (he had only been divorced for 6 months but she had gotten divorced 5 yrs ago, which is why she was ready to think about remarrying).

I shut the scrote down cold in the comments and told him while he is under no obligation to marry anyone, he also has no right to smear a woman as crazy if her relationship goals don’t align with his current relationship goals. Funnily enough, it was she who dumped him, not the other way around, so I guess this scrote thinks that any women who does not agree to provide seggual, and emotional labor to him on a selfless basis, without a thought about her own hopes and dreams is crazy…..

I am more than convinced this label started being used for women to distract from mens insanity. Lets be real, mens craziness has caused social demise that womens craziness cant even compare to. Mens craziness seems to be across the board , they are the most ruthless, dangerous and predatory beings on earth or at least they have proven to have the most potential for it. Women cant be the reasonable ones because then men lose all their power. If we internalize that men are the crazy ones we will have to question why we let them lead society throughout all of human history. I mourn womens wasted potential in the past so much when I read this stuff.

Good for you for dumping his geriatric ass
