But I thought we were all oppressed under patriarchy!

This person argued with me for 10 comments that I couldn't talk about my personal experiences dating pillow princesses, because I didn't give a feminist context for WHY women might be pillow princesses.

“Emotional labor” as a phrase refers to the work service people do to make customers happy, such as smiling at them, presenting a friendly and warm personality, and overall going to efforts to make the customer comfortable.

The fact that women began using the term to describe extending the barest shreds of emotional support to their friends, family, and lovers makes them look like psychopaths.

Imagine describing hugging your young child to comfort them as “emotional labor.”

That is absolutely confusing, It's a brainstorm to understand what they meant because the first comment was understandable as satire, but that last one is weird. Like Imagine being so parasocially attached to a movement, that you have to avoid straight white men - I mean if OP meant abroad to another country like outside of Europe, such as in countries like North Korea are they really going to make the same argument? Or if they saw how many Indian women treat men, and young boys. I am pretty sure taking away someone's legal recognition of being forced to penetrate is oppression and failure to upkeep human rights.

What would the OP think if they saw an Asian women figuring a European man. What would they think about homophobia against gay men from Slavic Pagans? Like it's not just from White Men to All, it's from All to All. Oppression is not only something that a White land owner can do. Would the OP endorse someone like Kim Jong-Un for not being white?

How brain washed is this person, to 'Languish' aside the 'Bitter Loneliness'? That bitter loneliness is more from Feminists while having a decreased or limited expression capability or to express their emotions or to feel emotions is far from something that many people wish on others. It's a depraved inherently feminist comparison to say one gender experiences 'emotional' labor, because if anything OP has already proved themselves wrong - even if their cognitive dissonance is easily to mask or can sound coherent - it simply is not the reality of the situation.

Ah yes, I always loved attending those secret white male council meetings where all local white men sit around and discuss how to oppress women in our area. Really makes me feel powerful to have complete authority over how society operates, as we supposedly do.

Flip flopping.
