TLDR: men are think intimacy is only part of romantic relationships; women have it as part of their friendships — hence friend zone confusion

This is the stuf that needs addressing in society.

Sorry my eyes glazed over at the point where the term patriarchy was used un-ironically

My problem is using the patriarchy concept. I don't think patriarchy is a thing in America because women are not tightly controlled.

I think it’s more that the residual affects of using it for so long are still there... could be wrong though

Eh, I've never had a problem divulging emotional issues to either gender.

TL;DR: Men should be forced to be exactly like women for their own good because they're all broken & wrong.

Or.... men shouldn’t use women as their emotional dumping ground just because they are afraid of other men finding out they have feelings

Pro tip: just because smug, self-righteous women make assumptions based on stereotypes doesn't mean they're correct. Works both ways, hun.

Dude, you just posted a load of crap and are surprised when people poke holes in it? Then you revert to "omg y r u mad"? Classy.

I was thinking how great this was at being unbiased and 'everyone has their strengths and weaknesses' then it turned to men are broken 1/
Itwasmyname
and you need to fix that because it's all your fault. And now I'm disappointed. /2

I didn’t read it as a “it’s all your fault” but more that women literally cannot hell men learn to be emotionally close with other men—
TehBox0rz
They can’t help, because they are not men... buuuuut, I’d still argue that women can help in that they encourage the vulnerability they see—
TehBox0rz
instead of fearing it, or telling them to “man up” etc. Especially for their sons/husbands
Itwasmyname
Yeah, I can see that side too I suppose. I'm still getting the vibe from it though.
