Incoming rant: I’m tired of women being shamed for distancing themselves from friends who are male centered. There’s nothing wrong with setting boundaries with ppl who constantly make their relationship problems yours. Esp when they don’t want help

The anger really needs to be directed at the men they’re messing with. It’s crazy some ppl hold their friends to a higher standard but have zero issue with the men they sleep or chose to engage with who are the main ones causing them the distress they speak of! Like im not going to allow your relationship or love life to stress me out! And im also not going to placate you or act like what you’re experiencing is normal when it’s abusive. If that makes me a bad friend so be it!

I honestly want more friends who are actively doing the work to dismantle patriarchy and have an identity outside of sex and dating. I don’t know how many times I can rehash the same issues about failed situationships and shitty boyfriends before I combust and turn into ash.

Like I support the best I can but I am not risking my safety or wellbeing for a relationship that is aiding in someone else’s destruction. Sorry! Don’t have the emotional capacity for it anymore, being the friend that ppl come to for advice and help is a thankless job and all you seem to get is them feeling like your judging them instead of you vocalizing your concern. Rather have a friend get their feelings hurt by my honesty then end up in dateline from a shitty man
