You know? I've never actually heard a woman say "all" men. It seems like some guys have a guilty conscience.

My mother did this. Suffice to say I didn't grow up with a healthy view of what a good man should be. I was really weird around women during my adolescence because I was constantly afraid of being a bad man.

A lot of women will casually throw around "men are trash". So you need to listen better.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Oh so it's not all men.

[–] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago

Of course not, clearly it's only referring to men from Kansas.

Holy smokes. Do you really think you need to start interjecting to defend men after someone says "men are trash"? Maybe the satire of this post is too close to the truth. :(

No. I never said that. Don't put words in my mouth. Get fucked.

I'm not sure if you could even fit any more words in your mouth while you are swallowing your foot.

Hey, the other day I heard someone say "pop music is trash". But I happen to know that pop music is actually pretty widely listened to an enjoyed. So that person must be wrong. Yeah? I bet there are even some pop songs that they themselves enjoy! Damn liars.

[–] TwoCubed@feddit.de 6 points 6 months ago

Well, yeah. That person would be wrong and these kind of people are very annoying with their blanket statements.

Not in real life for sure. But internet discourse is wild
