And women are nowhere near as emotional as men are. Men mistake a lack of empathy and emotional intelligence as logic. Nope.
Men are VERY sensitive. I see how quickly they fight each other just because someone looked at them funny.
I've watched men gossip and spreading rumors about each other, tanking friendships for the dumbest reasons.
And to my last point, men are lying when they say they're direct. They're not direct. Not with each other. I've watched grown male friend groups act like possessive exes.
They act passive aggressive, or plain aggressive while never addressing the conflict. It's much worse with women.
They claim they want women to be direct. They do not. In every relationship I've been in, the men tell me to please be honest and don't just leave them. To tell them how I feel.
Yet when I do, they take it as a personal attack, feel like a complete failure, then shut down and refuse to talk about the problem. Most men have the emotional skills of a 2 year old.
There is nothing on the planet more fragile than the male ego. Women are forced from birth to take accountability not for themselves and their actions but for what other people do to them and each other.
Mean while men can't even be told they did something wrong without dramatically complaining that they're such an awful person and a failure or straight up blaming someone else.
Men are not direct, theyre just rude when they do talk. And when they don't talk, they're passive aggressive or pushovers.
I've noticed how male groups tend to have hierarchies and they always bend over backwards to the most aggressive one no matter how dumb and wrong they are.
That's probably why many men default to blaming women or worse, abusing women. Because they're too scared to go confront the real problem which are other men.
Every problem men complain about they either caused themselves, or was caused by another man. Yet they think women are the devil because they get their feelings hurt. 🙄
Another thing I’ve noticed is how men desperately avoid introspection. Instead of sitting with their feelings or admitting they might be part of the problem, they immediately externalize.
Everything bad in their life is someone else’s fault. Their boss. Their girlfriend. Society. Anyone but them. Accountability is a foreign concept, but they’ll happily lecture women on "taking responsibility."
Many men never develop the emotional tools to deal with conflict, vulnerability, or even basic accountability. And society doesn’t push them to.
