Most women in power are worse than most men in power.

I won't dismiss your lived experience, but what I can advise you is change your circle of men. Misogynists and women beaters usually band together, and you seem to be stuck in one such group. Get out of that group, for your own sake. If you were a member of my circle of men, your view on men would have been totally different.

@the_psyche_lab @WaffleCritic @hell_line0 да, признаю, твоя информация о 0,25% верна. но совершает преступления гораздо больше мужчин, чем это 0,25. назови меня неудачницей из-за моего опыта, но в моей жизни все близкие мне мужчины мизогины, убивали, били и насиловали. и я сужу согласно своему опыту, как и многие другие

Men mistakenly think that a woman's worst life would be spending it alone. You're wrong and the worste life a woman could have is getting married, having children, becoming a domestic servant, living a boring and miserable life with a worthless husband, and realizing they wasted their time with you..

@PoojaPriyam_ Being a corporate slave is freedom? A married woman who is respected by her husband and kids is more free than any corporate slave. You didn't have a good marriage. That's why you unload your trauma as general opinion on everyone. Heal yourself.

#UnpopularOpinion For a lot of working & independent women in India marriage is like selling your freedom for the marital status, for most men it doesn't change anything much socially or professionally.

Unpopular Opinion: Vicky Kaushal as Lord Ram instead of Ranbir Kapoor in Ramayana movie. I have a reason for that. While casting for a movie based on religious scripture, two things are important - physical accuracy and emotional accuracy. According to the original text of Valmiki Ramayana, Lord Ram is described as "Neela Megha Shayama Kamal Nayana." That means dusky as a rain-laden cloud, with expressive deep eyes. Vicky Kaushal would have perfectly fit Lord Ram's depiction. He is a highly versatile actor who has proved himself with perfect portrayals in Chhava, Sardar Udham, Sam Bahadur etc. He could have pulled it off the best. #Ramayana #RAMAYYANATRAILER

I once met a man who had Stage 3 brain cancer. As per his oncologist, he had around 2-3 years to live. There was a surgery available which could have removed the tumour, but it was risky and could have had serious implications, if it went wrong. I asked that man. What are you afraid of? Dying? His reply was, "He is afraid of not dying. What if the surgery is successful, but leaves his brain half-functioning, or his motor functions are impaired, or his hands start shaking?" He was a smart man, and damn good at his work. And he didn't know what he would be without those those things. He wanted to live 2 full years, than have a risky chance of living 10 more years as a dependent vegetable. The conversation with him was a revelation. More than actual death, what he feared was the process of death. Living without fulfilling his hearts' pursuits was a worse form of death for him. And he didn't want to leave behind memories of him being sick, for his family. I was convinced with his rationale. I advised him to make his own decision, follow his heart. But, his wife and kids convinced him to undergo the surgery. They loved him and didn't want to lose him after 2 years. He too loved them, and he said, it's fine. He will do what the family wants. If he doesn't undergo surgery, his family will be unhappy, and then he won't have full 2 years anyway. The 1st surgery went well, but some complications happened, and he got septic. He had to undergo a successive 2nd surgery. And he died at the operating table. The family was devastated. The wife and kids blamed themselves. And a man who could still have 2 full love & fun filled years, was no more. For me, this was a lesson of a loss born out of love. It was today, 31st July, 2019 that this man died. And, I will carry the lessons he taught me for the rest of my life. Sometimes, when we do something for the person we love, we don't do it to make them happy, we do it to make ourselves happy.

If you are not an ass, why don't you answer how many percentage of males are in jail or accused of crimes as compared to the world male population. Looks at the stats. 90% of the crime perpetrators are males. That's true. But those 90% of males = 0.25% of world male population. So, why don't you talk about the 99.75% of world's male population which is good? Why focus on the 0.25% and become negative?

@the_psyche_lab @WaffleCritic @hell_line0 а если смотреть не жопой, то можно увидеть, какой из полов совершает больше убийств. с этой точки зрения твой аргумент не имеет смысла

People do change and evolve from 18 to 30. But many of them just grow in life. More than healing themselves, they learn to put on a mask and suppress their wounds and triggers. And when life shows them the mirror (which marriage will), their wounds re-surface, and they end up doing what they masked. A woman who has been a hoe in her 20s, indulged in casual sex, gave herself to her desires freely, her nature doesn't change usually.

@the_psyche_lab Oh i see, so people never change from 18 to 30. Then that includes men too. If they have had sexual partners they too escape, lie to get sex, and have weak inpulse control as well.

Real Women don't care about man's future.

@msmaureen90 @YaskawaDriveCap Your statement shows you don't know many quality men.

@YaskawaDriveCap @the_psyche_lab But most men are never desired by anyone, even in their prime. Sure some gross middle aged man can get a low quality woman- but she will still want 36 year old $ and 25 year old D.

@MISTER__CLEAN 2 or 3. Rest all in my post are invented by men.

@the_psyche_lab Important question: how many of those inventors were women?

A group of scientists and inventors made advances in TECHNOLOGY and BIRTH CONTROL. That liberated the women to pursue their careers and achieve financial independence. FEMINISM was the freeriding kid in the project group, which gave a good presentation, and stole the credit. - Washing Machine made washing clothes easy. - Refrigerator made cooking a less repititive venture. - Microwave oven, air fryers etc. made cooking faster. - Dishwasher made cleaning easier. - Vaccum cleaners made sweeping easier. - Electric Iron and the sewing machine made maintaining clothes easier. - Birth control pills, other contraceptive methods and egg freezing gave control on pregnancies. What feminism truly did was open up the female workforce to the labour market. Thus, it provided the capitalists cheap labour. It also doubled the consumers. And many product categories arrived on the scene which could now be sold to women. Thus, more revenues, more profits. The result is that 50 years ago, a man's single income used to feed a family of 5. But today, even a double income is not enough to feed a family of 3. Huh! Perhaps, that's progress. Feminism liberated the rich capitalist men. They are richer now, thanks to the paid female workforce. The females were brainwashed to categorise nurturing a home as slavery and unpaid domestic labour, but corporate slavery was glorified and linked to ambition. I think happiness index is the true indicator of society's progress. And all surveys indicate women are more stressed and less happy than their previous generation. I can go on and on. But, I think you get the gist.

@DrkaKnight Past relationships is one thing. Some men will still be okay with a straw, if the straw is clean. But no man should ever accept a fully dig tunnel, where dozens of commuters have had a free passage.

Not necessarily, measurement of past deeds or plans of the future will always be from a subjective perspective and the person's perspective. Most often than not single men treat women with past relationships as sluts just because they couldn't have relationships due to whatever reasons, that is what problematic. I also don't support women who don't do anything and expect their husbands to earn 1 cr/month.

I agree with her assessment. Men are really delusional in this regard. A woman who is fun and stable (but mid), or hot and stable (but boring) is anyday a better choice than a woman who is hot and fun, but crazy. Having a less chaotic woman is something decent men should always prefer. Because chaos is a pit. A chaotic woman will bring nothing but more chaos.

@msmaureen90 Past actions defines the character. A woman whose intent is choosing escape when in trouble, she will do the same in future. Past actions reveals plenty.

@the_psyche_lab Her past won’t matter to you when you lose your job or your child is dying of cancer. Her character will. Grown ups know this.

@DrkaKnight The actual point is, "both the deeds of the past and plans of the future matter, for both men & women." My post is a satirical take on a ridiculous post.

These two arguments are not same at all, in fact obsession of either of these will end up in a miserable state. However, in general, an Indian man is inexperienced with women due to the societal upbringing and taboo around communication with women, and to cope with that failure they start hating or dissing women who had relationships in the past which further stretches the problem instead of solving it.

Of course. This entire lie hinges on the fact that single women are the biggest impulsive spenders. Just like men can do bizarre things for a hit of dopamine, women can do bizarre things for a hit of oxytocin and endorphin. That includes needless shopping, mostly for feel good & aesthetic things - jewellery, cosmetics, apparels, interior decor, romance economy etc. If you take women out of the workforce, half of these industries will shut shop.

The media pumps out articles suggesting single women are the happiest women out there and men/family are a burden. This no doubt influences single women to believe they are happier than their married counterparts. But research consistently shows the opposite is true—married women with children are the happiest women out there. Could the lies pushed have something to do with the fact that research also shows single women are the biggest spenders? 🧐

@Zarish5062 Women keeping their stories private? Best joke ever! These days women are not able to even keep their bodies private, forget stories.

Men thinking our grandmas were happy is a product of women keeping their stories private & the culture of coddling men by not telling them things.

Feminism didn't liberate the average women. It liberated the rich capitalist men. - more workforce - cheap labour - more products - more revenues - more profits Thanks to the paid labour of women (who bought the unpaid domestic labour narrative), the rich men are richer.
