I can't be a dedicated feminist and have a long-term boyfriend. It's like cocaine and baking powder.

It's extremely difficult because it's ingrained in all of us, male and female, feminist and otherwise. These roles of male hero who get the attention and glory, and female sidekick who does the planning and the unglamorous stuff can creep in even in the most egalitarian couples. But I think if both halves of the couple are aware of it and actively work against it, the relationship can work. The author doesn't sound like she ever actually brought this up with any of her boyfriends and worked together to dismantle the dynamic. She just gave up on relationships.

Ugh the fucking testerical triggered scrotes in the comments tho

I don’t think men do feel pressure to provide in 2022. Now they still expect a female sidekick as well as free rent and meals cooked by their mom. I don’t think men feel like they have any duties at all to women Generally. I often gave people say to me I need a man who’s more laid back because I’m responsible and on the ball (they use the term ambition but it’s basic responsibiliy) and its ridiculous because responsible doesn’t need irresponsible to “balance”, nobody needs irresponsible it’s a bad way to be. The men I have met were people who’s fathers passed away young and had taken on responsibility with their families. Men by and large don’t grow up doing chores or helping, or anything. They are allowed to be children forever but also there’s an expectation on others to make them ”feel like men“. Make yourself feel like a man, or better yet be a man. Not my problem. Anyway marrying someone who’s a child wouldn’t work so you have to just be single until you see someone who takes accountability for their actions and ask responsibly toward you.

Is this a joke about the recent episode? Bc if so- on point If not- then why you spreading such nonsense?
