I mean, his strategy didn't work - but what is disturbing is that there are women who have low self esteem or were raised to be submissive and "traditional", and his behavior acts as a filter, so that only those women will date him ...

Therapy is a great idea for every brain owner
Christian fundamentalist women are the most likely to be skeptical of therapy and to prefer pastoral guidance over therapy, unfortunately - also, I have my own doubts that therapy alone would be sufficient, but it's still better than nothing
My partner had parents that used therapy as a boogie man to get her to behave or it was for people that had something wrong with them (and you don't have something wrong with you, right?). That made it real hard to bring it up as something that might be of use. I don't doubt many people have similar experiences that make them adverse to seeking therapy, which is too bad because those are going to be people that could benefit greatly from it.
Okay but what about Christians and fascists, that sold theirs?
To be fair, maybe his strategy did work.
It expedited the whole process real fast.
That's why I would always talk about religion and politics on the first date. It's gonna come up, it's most likely gonna introduce a deal breaker (Americans suck), so let's check early.
"Who does that on the first date? You're weird, Explodicle!" Yeah I know, weird dates only please.
The older I get the more absurd it sounds to me whenever anyone tells me "keep social/romantic life and politics separate!"
No. Politics relate to our fundamental values. In addition they relate to our control of the environment. There's almost nothing better to talk about than politics
You dont build a relationship on the kind of pizza toppings you like
If he demands to be the breadwinner because he's a man, then what role is actually left for his partner other than bread eater?
One can't be like "I will do the work and provide for you, but you cannot be content being provided for", because that's just absolutely braindead.
"Traditional" gender roles say the man is the "breadwinner" and the woman cares for the house.
I'd bet he was picking an argument and expected her to say that she planned to work. Maybe there was some hope that someone desiring to be a trad wife wouldn't find the first message off putting, but my money says his main goal was arguing and he blocked her because she's cleverer than he.
You must labor! There must be hierarchy! There must be coercion!
If not, how can you even call it relationship?
I'm just a bit baffled tbh, do you reckon he was asking "what's your role" as a rhetorical question? Because there's no way he genuinely cares what she says, right?
I guess... Unless her profile said "as a man you must be the breadwinner", or gave off similar vibes to that? And that's what he was responding to, as a reply to her and not just a total bolt from the blue?
Just such a weird message 😂
Context from a social media post? That's illegal
I just thought this once it could be fun like a sort of early Christmas present
Uhh yeah, nobody deserves to sit on ass and still get catered too.... unless youre royalty is guess?
I'm honestly not too sure where else to post this kind of content. 'Witches vs Patriarchy' does seem like it should be more witchy content than this. But there's no plethora of 'blatant misogyny' and 'men and females' type communities here like Reddit. And !feminism@beehaw.org seems like it's more for articles and things of actual substance than memes or screenshots.
Fitting community or not, her answer is great and I thank you for posting it 💖
I did consider !womensstuff@piefed.blahaj.zone but there's a nice social vibe there. And while I might post a relevant meme there some time in the future, I wouldn't want to see the place flooded with them.
Didn't consider !femcelmemes@lemmy.blahaj.zone, I'll see if the meme fits the vibe there in future.
aren't femcels only attracted to women though?
oh i genuinely don't know other than one person who told me that.
You literally just came in here, told us that everyone here is a hag and wished us all to hell. The post did not generalize to all men, the community does not generalize to all men, the potential type of community op wanted did not generalize to all men. If you feel attacked by a post calling out misogyny in a single instance then it's not all men, it's you.
Since you're so offended by us hags, I cast banishment on you
Dude do you see that you're being the exact "hag" you imagined?
No, you just explode when you see a meme or comment that isn't sexist or misandrist and repeatedly call women hags, which is much more reasonable
Even without context, I laughed, that's a funny response. Guess I'm a hag
Mental thing to say. Misandry is absolutely real.
The fact that she came up with a clever response rather than just saying "Yeah...we're done here." Is more than this Ralph Kramden wannabe deserves, to be honest.
I actually find the answer incredibly funny and witty. I could see myself saying what he said but in an entirely sarcastic and mocking tone, basically making fun of that whole super macho male stereotype. Had a woman responded to me that way, I would have been smitten.
tbh given the "alright." to start the dude's last message, I want the previous conversation context before judging lol
Right?
The entire idea of predefined "roles" in a relationship is asinine.
Unless they're cool roles. I'll be the wizard, you can be the barbarian. Or whatever idc.
Ralph Kramden wannabe? You must either be my age or some sort of autistic savant to drag out that old chestnut.
🎵 Whoa here she comes
Look out bread she'll chew you up
Whoa here she comes
She's a bread eater 🎵
🎵 She's a breaaaad eater.
Breaaad eater. Oh no no.
And she is eating like
she has never eaten be-fooore. 🎵
I hate you. A lot. I’ll have this in my head all day now. 🤣
🎵 I'm stiiiiiilll in a dream ...bread eaterrrr🎵
This has given me a hilarious mental image. For whatever reason, you and your wife are discussing who should be the one to take on more hours at work. The choice shall be defined by something akin to gladiatorial combat. On a pedestal above you is a fancy loaf of bread. When the battle finishes, the winner cheers and holds the bread over their head like a wrestling championship belt
I'm so confused. If my guy over there likes to pose all cocky and stupid, just what kind of answers is he expecting to get? Because hers is just perfect... I reckon most people would just instantly block the guy.
"Cock vacuum" probably
We should add "participation food" for children to public schools.
Through a cake walk
No, bake-off. There's a trophy. I know a lady who won in the pizza crust category once.
Sometimes in this community, I'll check the comment history of someone people who have heavy downvotes, sort by controversial and go on an adventure.
As someone who doesn't have much care about words, it's always interesting to see into the mind and history of people who are easily angered by words.
Ok, pretty funny. Just normal humor. Also holy fck, westerners are so transactional, they need a bussiness agreement for marriage.

"Westerners" LOLOL. Its not just westerners, its conservatism.
Lemme introduce you to my 祖国 (Homeland), China.
Before a guy married a girl, he is expected to provide housing and must have money (aka: stable income).
They actually make skits on Chinese social media making fun of this: Guy and Girl is on a date, girl asks: "Do you have a house, a car? What is your occupation and income?" If answers are unsatisfactory, the girl leaves. This is basically my parents (arranged) marriage in a nutshell, my paternal grandparents help my father get funding for housing. Marriage is expected in society, and it is very much transactional, probably explain why they argue so fucking much.
Even parental love is very much transactional. "Obey me, or else we won't love you"
I mean, there is a bare minimum, people should fix their lives up before committing to anything. But beyond the bare minium, looking at only wealth and gain, kind of defeats the point.
