I have noticed a pattern in the behavior of both men and women that I cannot ignore. Women tend to put in tremendous amounts of effort and sacrifices (quitting their careers, moving countries and leaving their friends and family behind, keeping up their looks, etc) to be with men who they are not even sexually and emotionally attracted to very much.
This is due to the patriarchy teaching women that their self worth and value is attached to being with a man, who is ‘inherently superior’ to them. Women are taught across many cultures and religions to disregard their own desires and satisfaction.

Men on the other hand do not put nearly as much effort. Men also typically only date women who they are sexually attracted to, but even then they don’t put in much effort. You would never see a man putting in effort for a woman he isn’t attracted to.

As a woman myself, I am advising other women to listen to their desires and don’t feel pressured to put in effort which will not be reciprocated. Date people who you are attracted to, and don’t put in effort which will not be returned. I’m bisexual and prefer to date women so I haven’t faced any issues with effort as of late ;) but stay safe out there y’all

I strongly believe that all men who “joke” about rape are sexual predators in one way or another. Even if they haven’t physically harmed a woman (yet), they do not view women as human. There is no way a person who is not predatory would “joke” about rape. Rape is the most horrific thing which could be inflicted onto a human, so to joke about it, especially if you are a man, knowing that men are the main perpetrators, could only mean that you are a predator yourself, even if it’s just in the way you view women. As a man, wouldn’t you want to avoid joking about rape knowing that your own gender is the perpetrator?

To all women, please avoid men who have ever made a remotely misogynistic joke, especially about rape. You are not safe with them. From first hand experience I can confirm that all men who I have heard make rape jokes, or any other misogynistic jokes, have turned out to be predators.

*note: the comments on this post prove my point.

Many people enjoy debating others, not to gain an understanding of an opposing perspective and take provided evidence into consideration. They enjoy debating others to reinforce their own ideas which may be poorly reinforced by their own rational thinking.
Id love to hear other psychological reasons for why people enjoy debating others, as I know there are many.

I want to make it very clear what my intentions are with posting on here, I’m looking to make genuine connections with women, with a door open to a romantic relationship. I am interested in learning about you, your story, culture, daily lived experiences, and the most mundane things about you. I am not afraid to communicate, and I am committed to understanding and keeping in touch with someone if I feel that we are the right fit for each other.

If you are interested, please DM me and let me know your age. Do let me know a bit about yourself as this may interest me in responding.
