As a Christian (lol considering this article's title), I've always hated the use of that phrase. I do believe in God's will, but it shouldn't be used as a replacement for loving and serving a person, and definitely not as an excuse that a person "got what they deserved". God's will could be many things but it will always involve loving and caring for other human beings (and yourself)

Those words almost always precede the most ignorant/racist/ugliest comments ever ... ( it's similar to "no offense , but....." )

Alpha and beta humans do not exist. It's simply an excuse for some to engage in and justify their toxic behaviors.

This. It's a foolproof way to find out a lot about a person.

I hate this one with a burning passion. Same with 'Boys don't cry'

I can’t believe how this is still a thing today. I’ve seen it in my son’s elementary school already. He got into a fight (sort of… no actual punches). Basically, he bear hugged and kicked at another boy who bear hugged and sort of hit his fists off my son’s back. It was a soccer game got out of hand. No one was hurt. His principal was incredibly nonchalant about this with a boys will be boys mentality. To me that was a HUGE thing to have happen. And not characteristic of my kid, not an angry or aggressive kid in the slightest. He got in a ton of trouble at home but just sat out of one recess at school. Thankfully, that seems to have been an isolated incident. The boys we’re playing together the next day, no grudge.

boys will be boys means my 8 year old brother and his friends running around the house with underwear on their heads, NOT boys bullying or sexually harassing a girl!!

Strangely we never hear "Pederasts will be pederasts" or "Embezzlers will be embezzlers" or"Meth dealers will be meth dealers".

boys will be boys and girls will be girls

"Real men don't eat quiche."

And when they grow up it becomes "men will be men"?

ugh

Boys will be kicked in the nuts if they behave like animals.

Really. If boys will be boys, what assumptions are me making about what boys are supposed to be?

Yes but if they don't want to change their gender.

My reply is "and sexists will be sexists" and give them the mom glare. I hear this a lot in mom groups and I don't want my kid hearing it. It's damaging for both boys and girls because it forces one into a box and the other outside of it, neither allowed to just be themselves.

The red hat IS the red flag

"people don't like me because I am tacky and have no decorum"

Translation: It's toxic AF here...

I hope somebody teaches those people about burden of proof fallacy

Projection, like calling people snowflakes while you’re banning books.

Yeah the whole.... Sending prayers.... Comment on Facebook.

Animal hating is a big red flag. And cats are little gods.

No truer words were ever said....

“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?” - Epicurus

I'm an influencer. I left a review on Yelp once.

I find grinning widely while maintaining intense eye contact and tilting my head sideways generally makes them retract that statement.

Where did they take it?

Anyone who refers to an entire group of people as an "it".

I'm bipolar and hate this trend. Having a mental illness isn't fun, cute, quirky, or an excuse for bad behavior. You don't want to know what it's really like being bipolar.

"Hi, its me im the problem its me" common denominator

Because there's already 11.5 white history months.

“I don't wanna talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper! I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!”

I just assume they're trying to summon an ancient Eldritch species of sheep-people to usher in the Apocalypse. This ends up being more interesting than what they were actually trying to say, and generally more coherent as well.

I’m a cancer, we’re supposed to be sensitive (which I am) so it really hurts my feelings when people say that!

No, you're just brutal.

This one makes me cringe and shudder

R.U.N...

This one gets so annoying to see. And it's always used by freaking bigots

Nope. And don’t much care

I can't even handle me at my worst.

Depends on context: if I say Andrew Tate is an insecure b***h that tries to hide it behind his aLPhA mAlE image is exactly what everyone is thinking. Btw, is he's still in jail? Has he spread his alphaism among his fellow inmates?

On a positive note, there was a new story about a young Autistic boy, named Brandon, who was nervous about his vacation in Texas. Until he saw all the "Let's go Brandon" signs which cheered him on. https://www.fox2detroit.com/news/8-year-old-boy-with-autism-puts-new-spin-on-lets-go-brandon-chants

Worse. I thought i was a typo the first time, but then it was repeated.

Thank you for the acknowlegment in the last line.

Well you can't plan a murder out loud.

No. This is Patrick.

"I'm a little OCD" is so annoying!

But you can almost always end the sentence with "... it would be worse."

I got my shirt off the 99 cent rack and my shoes for under $2. Envy me! /s

Dunning Kruger effect?

I'm a Cantaloupe and my ex was an Asparagus so clearly we were not compatible.

Or anyone whose worldview distills every situation into 'them and us'.

if men said all women are trash they do be acting like they're abt to start a war on twitter. i dont like it when people say something bad about the opposite gender,with "all"
