Oh my God, I’m so bitter. I have literally never thought about this. And believe it or not, men are allowed to have standards, boundaries and expectations for their relationships. This is what I am willing to accept and if you don’t like it, there’s the door. Just like women. Also where do derive these double standards for what men are supposed to sacrifice in relationships out of “loyalty” versus women? A man has to abandon all female friendships but women get to continue on just like they were single? The lack of self awareness on the part of women writing these articles about how they’re controlled and oppressed and want all the benefits of parity, is astonishing. You don’t want parity. You want all the benefits of being a man without any of the social sacrifices. Because there are sacrifices women and men have both always made. If you want perfect parity that means accepting you have to take the whole plate, you don’t get to pick what you like about being a woman and what you most like about being a man like some ala carte diner.
