Carlyn,

I am going to ignore the hopeless romantic rhetoric and address a few of the other points you made. I’m not sure if you really believed your comment was going to make me think differently about anything. I am too grounded in myself.

I choose to write in an echo chamber. This is a deliberate choice I have made. I understand the pros and cons of sharing my perspective, and I have made peace with it.

You are assuming I want to empower all women. I actually only care to help women who want to help themselves. I only care to align with women who are interested in non-traditional paths of womanhood like misandry, lifelong celibacy, dating married men, and/or being forever single. Women who are still lying to themselves about men can find someone else to empower them.

I am a misandrist, therefore my advice for women will not benefit men at all. I am not a feminist. It is very clear that men are not interested in the aspects of feminism that do not benefit them, and as a result they have exploited that movement to no end. Feminists STILL want to work with men even though men gave them their asses to kiss a long time ago. I’m just sitting pretty, watching women run around in circles yet again.

As for your peanut butter analogy, women have been gorging these men on the sweet stuff for centuries with absolutely NO CHANGE. I am not sure when women are finally going to smarten up and catch on to their con game, but at the end of the day this is a woman’s personal choice to make. I am losing no sleep over the ladies who choose to gaslight themselves for eternity.

On another note, I don’t want or need your belittling under the guise of advice. You stay in your lane while I remain in mine.
