I feel this so hard. Every time a guy said "I like strong women" it started a 3-6 month countdown for their attempt to break me.

This whole "strong woman" thing is so ass-backwards. When they say they like a strong woman what they mean is that they love for you to take care of all your shit, all of their shit, and all the household shit... because you're so "strong". If you actually stand up for yourself, you're not "strong", you're a bitch and demanding, etc etc etc.

Men love this fetish/ idea of taming a feisty HV women.

The reality is they get exhausted trying to fool us & tap out. Because in reality : we ain’t HAVING IT. We’re not a fantasy/game- we are living breathing humans and require ongoing respect, just like they expect.

Men say they don’t want a witless pushover but that’s exactly what they want...they’re just mad they can’t pigeonhole YOU into one.

I feel like too often, "I like strong women" codes to "I want to feel like I've accomplished something by breaking you". Like we're horses to be tamed or something.

Yeah, just strong enough to serve a man without ever complaining.

Men say they “like strong women” but what they actually like is the challenge — more specifically, the challenge of feeling like they are stronger than her. For them, it’s all about the ego validation which comes from power. And sadly, too often that feeling of power comes from breaking her; thereby proving to himself that he can “conquer” a challenge. Of course, once the challenge is “defeated”, and the war is won in their head, the woman, merely an object, an accessory, a means to an end, is promptly discarded. It’s why guys try so hard at the beginning and then drop the act when they get what they want. And why the more sadistic guys take pleasure in destroying the confidence and beauty they claim to want so much. What they really want is that energy for themselves. It’s parasitic.

"threatening" like no bitch we've been better, they just wanted us to forget! My fav post-break-up lyric was Squirrel Flower's "Not Your Prey"

I tried hard to forget

And you didn't want me remembering

Alone I am a star

Burning above you

Also, men who say they want a "strong" woman should just say they want a woman to challenge their tendency to dominate, but ultimately let them "win" to feed their stupid egos. FDS has helped me realize that I can opt out of the pick-me olympics.

Which is why you should speak your truth, even if the rattling cages try to silence you and abuse you. Those of us that can stand alone don’t need back up. It’s a compliment to have so many against you. You are your own MF search and rescue. Those of you that have been through hell and are strong, don’t highlight it. Your strength speaks for itself. LVM will think they are getting extra stars and coins for the seks by taking pride in their slow burning abuse and tactics used to wear you down, scrotes/lvm want to wear the crown instead. Keep your head up high. 👑

They want you to be strong when it comes to dealing with everyone else. I used to be sure men knew, I talk back, I have a smart mouth, if you have a problem with that let me know NOW. Luckily I found one that loved being challenged and was not afraid of a woman flexing to him!

I think most men just mean they want aggressive sex. Agressive sex is not the same as the trait of being a strong woman/person. Not even close actually. They are separate things. Thanks, porn industry.

Strong = a pillar for men to stand on
