It's so exhausting, I feel like when I'm scrolling through comments on TikTok or any other media platform, the woman will make a very clear, concise, and well-argued point and it will go straight over the man's head. I don't know if men are purposefully or actually obtuse, but it's like watching a toddler screeching about he's right. Or they will twist your words into something completely opposite and gaslight you, it's so bizarre and headache inducing.
It made me realize that arguing with a man is a complete waste of time. I can't believe I used to do the charity work of writing messages back to men who were either going to manipulate my words and paint me as evil or a troll. For instance, I'm on this relationship forum and this older man created a thread called on old man young woman attraction and all the scrotes chimed in, saying that as men aged their value increased and women's value decreased. I called them out on it and said that as a young woman I'm not attracted to a man close to my father's age.
Then of course all the scrotes came out of the woodwork, literally 30 men at once calling me a male, troll, liar, bitter, and saying that I was "ruined" because I wrote that most older men have ED which is a literal fact.
I'm so done with any male-centered forums. I should have realized that relationship forums are filled with bitter, angry old men. It's not good for my mental health to ingest this poisonous scrotey content.
For reference here was my original comment which imo was very reasonable. I didn't attack anyone I was just stating my perspective (and the viewpoint of the majority of young women as well).
Here are just 4 of the comments I received from these scrotes, one called me an "insufferable bitch." I was shocked at the level of vitriol because the relationship forum seemed mellow/reasonable at first, until I realized all the men who responded were 40+ 😂
"What happened to our beloved innocent Cute-sie little high school Sarnant (which is my username on the site) ? I thought how good it would be to have a refreshing opinion from a girl not yet ruined by society. Now a bitter self righteous know it all argumentative hack that was more than likely previously banned. Or a dude."
I think "your choice of language and style of sentence construction now is decidedly male" means "you make complete sense and your arguments are good but since I'm delusional and don't want to have to hear any of it I'll just pretend that women are unable to express themselves in a coherent manner and call you a guy to avoid dealing with reality" in misogynist 😂
I disregard any comment that comes from a man online.
This is what was happening to me on Reddit over a reality tv show. I just state an opinion that had strains of feminism in it and suddenly I was getting dogpiled by male users twisting my words. I went back and forth with a couple of them until I realized how pointless it all was. Now I make it a point to go touch a lot of grass while those guys can stay online, happily jerking off to whatever malformed opinions they have.
Men won't even listen to what women say, so why bother? I've been a young woman before, and I was NOT attracted to older men. In fact, my husband was 30, and I was 24 when we met, and he looked old to me. I had to overlook that because I was trying to be "fair." When men 20 years older than me hit on me, I feel revolted inside. It's actually harder for a woman to settle for money instead of looks, because women aren't attracted to most men. There are a few men on earth that I've ever thought were attractive and that smelled right to me. I'd have to settle for money if I married an older man, because there is literally no other reason I'd even look at a much older man. Plus, it's not like he won't play you and be unappreciative pf having you these days. He'll think he's hot for attracting you and turn into an even bigger scrote.
They're purposely obtuse. It's some sort of redpill tactic, I think, just to be mentally abusive to women. I have seen my brother do this with my mum, and with me before I wised up. (So, now I don't talk to him beyond bare minimum for manners.) This is what I respond when men act deliberately dumb: "???" Sometimes that is in response to them sending me "???" 🤣 They get so frustrated, but WTF at sending me a dumb response to a clear statement?
I used to argue with males on tiktok but I got so tired of their shit that I just gave up and stopped. Scrotes gonna be scroting
I've had this experience too! I remember seeing a post about a woman who rejected a man for being too old, and this commenter was wondering why she possibly could have rejected him. I said "as a young woman, I'm not into old guys" and he said "well lots of women are". That doesn't change the fact that the woman in question could have just not been into older guys, like me and alot of women.
I've just finished reading all the comments and once I started reading the men comments I felt like I could smell their dirty ass, it was an unpleasant experience, and the one guy talking about what women want can shut the fuck up. He's not even a woman so he should know better than to not speak on our behalf, their fucking entitlement toward us irritates me.
It is true, whenever I have a discussion with a man I want to rip my hair out in the end. It never ends fruitfully. It is like you said, the main content of my argument just flies over their head. Ends in circular arguments. All because they cannot fanthom they aren't right and it might be time to learn or shut up. Imagine if men hadn't hammerd their eternal "men are more logical" down our throaths. I think many women and honest people of all genders would have come to the conclusion that they are clearly the verbally weaker sex on average and we wouldn't even bother adddressing them with complex thought processes most of the time.
