You know WHY I wouldn't do any of those things? Because doing any of that shit to someone you love makes you feel gross and disgusting. Because if you LOVE YOUR FAMILY, you'd never WANT to do that. Because the most basic, platonic, bar-on-the-floor amount of love forbids that kind of behavior. - ThreadSky

I'm not saying that I don't expect and hope for consideration in return -- that when I'm sick, someone will bring me soup, and that when I'm in a particularly busy season, my family will help pick up that slack, etc. But expecting a mutuality of love is normal. These entitled behaviors are not.

The absolute ICK I get when I hear about men who are financially controlling or ungenerous, uninvolved with their kids lives or the daily running of the household, who check out emotionally/mentally/spiritually, and still expect to be respected, catered to, and held down by their partners. EW.

I get the ick bc *I have been doing the thing they're throwing tantrum about, and doing it well, and doing it cheerfully and whole heartedly, and doing it platonically, w/o the benefits of romance or sex for 14 yrs, and IT'S NO BIG DEAL*

Why are men who say they love women acting like this is hard?

I've lost all of my big-eyed naivety from years of hearing in the church and in the world that men are just so overburdened by the weight of the responsibility they bear, and they deserve so much honor and credit for bringing home a paycheck and giving their families crumbs of attention. Pfffft.

I feel EMBARRASSED for them.

They should be EMBARRASSED.

I would be MORTIFIED to treat my family the way so many men seem to think is normal.

Like sociopathic toddlers. King Baby.

Ladies, send me your whiny partners and I'll fight them for you.
