Wow. Well done.

This!

The world needs more mothers/mothers in law like this 💕

Unbelievable that this is how some tax dollars are spent, including, of course, women’s taxes.. 😬

Works on people making racist jokes too.

I hate that one, how about he only picks on you because he likes you…way to teach young girls to put up with abuse

It's a horrible feeling. It's a feeling of regret and worthlessness and feeling used and it's just horrible. My best friend for most of middle school... turned out he thought I'd be "easy" (turns out how much he really knew me because most people know I'm Christian and waiting until marriage). I just felt like I'd wasted the last few years of my life.

There's no hotter thing a man can say than this. ❤️

Hahaha

This! Zealots should read such posts more often.

😆😆😂😂

The transformed wife is a cancer.

I need a friend like him. As an asexual woman, no matter how oft I tell that I'm not into relationships, especially sexua1 ones, the only male response is "lol you should just try it with me and you will be cured". I'm tired of it. It's not a sickness that is curable by seX. I just want to have friends.

I'm heterosexual, but I never felt it was difficult to be friends with girls and later women. Maybe a person doesn't have to be gay to not be a threat? Or ... maybe they just thought I was gay? I am, shall we say, eccentric.

I am a straight men who always had, and still has, lots of close friendships with women. I guess it is possible for women to feel safe with non-gay men too.

As time goes on, I find most of the newer men friends I make are gay. There seem to be more straight men now than ever that think they (or some other man they know) can "cure" me of being a lesbian.

This is not an 'across the board' situation. Posts like this skew the reality for impressionable young people. They make it sound like there's a war going on and no man can be trusted. These stupid misogynistic posts would make people like my daughters paranoid, if my wife and I hadn't given them true perspective. I'm sure some feminazis think it's a war but it isn't true. For eg: I've never had a problem having female friends wether single or not. If my GF was insecure about friends then she wouldn't be my GF for long bc I have no interest in constant reassurance past the initial times. No woman that is my friend is hyper vigilant although when approached by another guy, I have seen it kick in. They do feel safer with me so I can imagine it must be much worse when I'm not there, which is sad. I've taken random guys who wouldn't respect my FM friends off the board but there are also plenty of hetero guys who can be simply friends. I'm not the only one. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I've had lots of straight male friends in life, and I never saw any of them as a violent threat. It's the guys I've dated that were more of an unknown factor... some of them were good, and some not. We need to normalize going on group dates as a first/second date until everyone is comfortable enough to move forward.

Every woman should have a Patrick Strudwick in her life.

LOVE THIS

If he would like another female friend, I’d be glad to volunteer. This guy sounds like a wonderful person.

Through Facebook's function of showing if people are interested in men or women, I found out that an old colleague was gay, many years after I quit working with him. That cleared up many questions I didn't even know I had. He was always so restful to be around, like a woman friend.

I (CIS male) have a ton of girlfriends who also happen to be gay. They are some of the best relationships I have in life, and I wouldn't trade them for anything. I also try to make clear that my straight female friends realize they can have a deep, meaningful, male/female relationship without it involving sex. And I also have girlfriends who understand that I have female friends that mean a lot to me, but that there is no need for jealousy. Cheating is the anti-thesis of having meaningful relationships, and it would jeopardize not only our relationship, but ALL of my relationships. Adults don't cheat.

I actually just realized why so many of my female friends seem to be so comfortable around me lol

So much this.

I have more gay friends than boyfriends and his reasoning is spot on

Women can be abusive and violent, too. So sick of all the posts here pretending that men are the problem.

I'd like to add "do you see a book as competition for your time and attention"?

Go Mom!

Creepy but true 🥺

this isnt exclusively a women-to-men kind of thing. Of course, in this context it speaks volumes about how some women (and men too, but personally ive heard more women facing this issue) face blatant disrespect in relationships, but this can also really just be used as life advice regarding toxic people. Don't be toxic and don't let toxic people in, whether in friendship, relationships (I guess especially this one though, because they'd be closer to you and stuff), or just life! have a lovely day x

Liberated people tend to appear less superficially "happy" because they have freed themselves from the people who force them to perform happiness under oppression.

I think, broadly speaking, that women want effort before the fact, and men want appreciation after the fact. And both of them project that desire onto the other, rather than observe what the other desires, and so are disappointed when they don't receive the same thing they give.

Just posting to bury some toxic crud 🌈

I know a lot of men who should read this.

Never watched it (scary stuff) but I'm so pleased to hear that it has a happy ending.

i think this goes for any relationship

Yeah, thought so. Behold the incel in it's native habitat.

this hits hard

Funny how this is also the one type of "realism" that's apparently crucial in fantasy settings as well. There can be dragons, but there can't be a world without creepy depictions of sexual violence.

You mean when you could rape your wife cuz they couldn’t say no

She’s not overreacting. Leave.

It's always "where was the mother?", never "where was the father"...
