I’m not dense. You just don’t understand that statements can serve multiple purposes. Just bc I address men with my “y’all” doesn’t mean that’s the only possible audience. It’s also for women who AGREE with the comment I’m making to men because they’ve also EXPERIENCED men with this mentality. It’s to serve as relatable catharsis for those women, indirectly call out women prone to the mindset of the post, and any men ALSO in this group, some of whom will post here asking similar questions.
Because it’s still relevant to women and our experiences with men? And no I meant people. This group has 2-4x as many members as any of the groups just for men. Did you even read my longer comment explaining all of this or are you just saying stuff to say stuff now? You can swap the “y’all” out for people if that helps. But yeah you clearly have some bigger thing going on than this post so best of luck with that.
That was literally my exact thought process. A man isn’t going to ask about this on an Ask Men page. They’d be asking women about this for reassurance. So this message is for men on THIS page who’d specifically want to know or think like this (and sadly I’ve seen a few women who think like this too). Like I’m answering the question for them, and hopefully they can see that a lot of other people think the same.
*To you. It doesn’t make sense to you and that’s fine. I specify men because I’m talking to men who’d come to THIS GROUP to ask this question. Other women who agree with me will ALSO feel seen and like the post. I don’t have to specifically address women for other women to understand that or to acknowledge there are some women who don’t think the same way as this post.
