Today, on antisocial media, a woman responded — with a whole lot of misandrist bullshit — to my comment about living on my own and taking care of myself, on her post. Essentially, just because I live on my own, buy my own groceries, do my own cooking and clean up after myself, that is not, in any way, a valid excuse for pretending I'm better than other men (which I don't). We're all the same, at the end of the day. I know this full well. If anything, I might actually be worse than other men (or so it seems, anyway).
The fact that I'm a man who is comfortable with his gender identity and not doing anything to change that makes me a bad person, without question. My personality, attitude towards woman and my peers, efforts to be caring, considerate, decent, empathetic, kind, respectful and tolerant of others do(es) not count for shit, nor does the emotional labour I've done to make myself a better person or others better people. No, not one whit. In the end, like all men (according to her, anyway), my ultimate goal is to find a woman to con into marriage, bear my children and treat as a personal servant while giving her nothing in return. I apparently have no interest in caring for anyone, meeting their needs or getting the same in return. Why is that? It's because I'm a man and all men are the same: bad people.
Oh, really, Honey? Is that so? You know barely anything about me, but you've undoubtedly got me all sussed out, without question. Well then, thanks for clearing that up and reminding me, a self-loather who has struggled for a long time with seeking (and not getting) acceptance or validation from my supposedly nearest and dearest, doing my utmost to make myself the person they wanted me to be, to no avail and to my own detriment. Thank you for reminding me how much of a truly selfish and self-centered lazy, mean, manipulative narcissist I truly am, since I so clearly forgot for more than a few days. I really needed that today, so that I'd stop wasting time online and go find a job where people disrespect me and treat me like shit, because that's all I deserve.
Seriously, though, thank you for reminding me why I have chosen to live alone, stay away from people, remain single and not bring children into the world.

I refuse to play into your victimhood. It's not my fault you're trapped in a horrible marriage with a terrible man who doesn't appreciate you and neglects your emotional and mental wellbeing. Maybe you'd be happier in a lesbian partnership, seeing as you're filled with so much bile, disappointment, directionless anger and hostility, resentment, and venom; I don't know. One thing I do know is that you're a misandrist, not a Feminist. Welcome to the "blocked" list, bitch!
