makes me wonder about the honesty of everything else.
Yeah, a man couldn’t have formed a low opinion of women based on genuine lived experience. It’s more comfortable for me to believe he’s a liar.
In what way was I supposed to “lift Emily up?” At the time, she had a bachelor’s degree, I didn’t yet. She was 9 months younger than me, we were both in our mid-20’s. She attended the same public school system I did, she’d gone to college and gotten a liberal arts education. At the time this conversation took place, we’d been dating for about 3 months. How the hell is it supposed to by my civic duty to have registered her to vote 6 years before we met? If she’s supposed to be my equal, she should have registered to vote on her 18th birthday and voted in all elections like I did. What the fuck do I owe her that she doesn’t owe me?
I said something negative about a woman, and you can’t accept that.
I voted for Obama twice, and Clinton, and Biden, and Kamala, not to mention Roy Cooper and on down the ballot, because I hate fascists. I’m pro-labor. I’m pro-union. I believe in separation of church and state, in fact I’m anti-church. I want a New Deal, I want public works infrastructure projects that’ll put my nation at the spear point of yet another century. I want to eradicate more diseases. I want to put measles, mumps, rubella, whooping cough, anthrax, HIV and COVID-19 in graves right next to goddamn motherfucking smallpox by vaccinating the FUCK out of the world.
But I said something negative about a woman, and you can’t accept that.

This, but genuinely. If you think your “lived experience” (cute) gives you a rational position from which to denigrate half of the people on the entire planet with transparently fragile misogyny, you’re just broken.
I’ve shared one anecdote from my 40 years on this planet for which you judge my entire character.
Emily was one of several women who refused to discuss improving our mutual sex life, only for me to find her gossiping with friends or strangers about it later. Hence my comment of her following asexual Facebook groups “typical woman shit.” Because, well…it is. The question I’ve had women ignore the most is “How can I make it better for you?”
Emily isn’t the only woman who was or still is in my life who doesn’t take an interest in politics, only to include me in the demographic she blames for things not going her way when I’ve spent a lifetime voting the way she’d choose for me.

Tbh this sounds like an issue with you rather than with women in general. And what does this have to do with voting???

And I’ve been sick of it for awhile now.
