Remember, men have agency. They choose. They aren’t idiots. They know what they’re doing and they’re getting exactly what they want without consequences. See past it and free yourself. (Here’s some snippets of an AMAZING article on the subject - link attached!)

From the FDS Handbook: He knows. He just doesn't care.

Just had a thought, the whole "Women are Two faced" is ALSO pure projection.

Cause no guy knows how fix the sink when a woman is around 'nagging' him about it for a week, but as soon as her dad or any other guy shows up he's suddenly an expert who doesn't need any help and fixes it immediately.

THIS. I'm tired of men hiding behind the excuse of being "unaware" as a way to explain their shitty behavior. Either get aware or get out.

All the power, none of the accountability.

Men feign ignorance to get away with the most underhanded stuff... “but I DiDn’t KNow I HiRt You...” Hence why the whole, “just communicate more advice” is BS. They know already, that what they’re doing isn’t right.

I'm not sure if anyone relates but when I was a little girl, I used to lie a lot. Whether it was about my accomplishments to make myself seem better, or it was to get out of being spanked or punished.

When people would believe my lies, it enabled me to continue lying and even getting more absurd and creative with them. I thought adults would just buy anything.

So where are these men constantly being excused for this child like behavior? It's obvious somewhere along the line, they tested people's boundaries and kept getting away with it. And it's a part of everyday society now.

Comedians joke that if you ask a man what he's thinking, it's silly because they're "thinking about nothing." Trying to pass off the idea that men are extremely simple.

Or if you ask a man what would make him happy they might say: Bring him a beer, suck his dick, and don't nag or talk too much.

All these things paint men in such a simple light. I don't think men are that simple. But they use this stereotype as a disguise and a free pass for shitty inconsiderate behavior.

Several women here fall for the myth men are too dumb to know what they’re doing.

Men know very well what they are doing. They’re just sly enough and got us convinced they don’t.

lucidlotus · 2021-02-06T03:30:41+00:00

Yep.

An ex of mine used to say "women are crazy and men are stupid." I used to think maybe he was right about the men. But no. They aren't. They know what they're doing.

Great article thanks for sharing, I think there’s so much to take on even a micro level. For me this pertinent with things like waiting around to confirm something that is time sensitive. ‘Sorry I just wasn’t looking at my phone’ in a world where everyone is glued to their smartphones 24/7, has them connected to every device. My lv ex used to do this all the time, he’d be too busy partying to check his phone and acknowledge my existence, yet online offline every 10 mins or so.

Damn.

OP, I dont want to tell you how to do your job, but when the MRAs spam your inbox to tell you about the grave injustice and oppression of 'doofy husband' stereotypes in sitcoms, be sure to remind them that men created those sitcoms and enforce those stereotypes because men benefit from them. Then tell the MRA that in real life ugly, stupid, depraved manchilds dont get to marry women who look like pretty sitcom wives.

EveSerpent · 2021-02-06T05:09:15+00:00

They are also idiots.

Have a silver medal on me. This deserves a gold but silver is all I could afford.
