Hoo, I'd say loaded statement, but... well, you're factually correct. Just polarizing.
That being said, I appreciate my mom for a lot of things, but the major one is my views on feminism.
I'm not some pro-female only person. First wave feminism, equality.
My wife is a strong woman who doesn't need me, fuck, she's the breadwinner and has been for most of the relationship.
She kicks ass, takes names, and somehow still has the energy to pick up the house a bit. I was weaker in that last part in the beginning, but I've made strides. Definitely a learned experience, but a very valid one.
I've dated the ultra girly-girl type. Its isn't for me. I want a partner who is fine standing on their own, and chooses companionship.
Shit, she has worked in hospitals and had grown men attack her (health care worker violence is shockingly common, and I've experienced it as a man who worked at a hospital in a non-clinical capacity) She takes no shit. She's also smart as a whip.
A dumb bimbo is easier to date, and I would guess be married to, but ultimately unfulfilling. Have a thought. Defend your thought. Please. If a man can't deal with that, they aren't much of a man.
That is a weird comment. Maybe I am just dumb but I read it all and I have no idea what you are trying to say apart some type of women is ok and other not so much?
Also what is polarizing in what Drusas said?
Well, factually, throughout history, women have had a terrible deal.
Living in red states my whole life, women having opinions, much less rights, is polarizing.
I don't agree, but man... women voting is STILL an issue in some rural areas. Thus, polarizing. Not so much with the common consensus, but with some.
I can see women voting as being polarizing but just stating the facts of women's condition throughout history not so much. But alas I guess in post-truth world that we leave I can see that a substantial share of population can decide to ignore such common information. So I guess it can be polarizing. That is just sad.
I'm a woman.
