As I always say, if someone finds something offensive, they might be part of the problem..
I wonder if the stereotype is from a very specific type of guys.. or if it's guys, between guys.. (If that makes sense)
I think in general, PEOPLE are super duper high maintenance is a very good statement also xD because it 100% fits all genders, it's just a matter of if it fits each individual
The points you make are true if you kind of, go off of the point I was making.
But the point I was making was that men made a bunch of movies and images of themselves in the media, that I grew up watching, that misrepresent who they are.
Women didn't produce that stuff, we were stuck at home, and didn't even have the right to vote.
Nevermind dare to work.
Sure all genders can be needy, but only one gender presented themselves as not being so, when actually they are
extremely so imo.
So maybe you're kind of going off of my point to make a different one, or maybe I didn't state my point clearly enough.
I grew up watching movies that presented men as being stoic, strong, brave, chivalrous.... and the reality is somewhat different. Which is fine. We're all human, and we all have emotional needs, that we place on others at times.
But all those movies sure were a crock of shit.
I'm not saying men, in general, disappoint me. I'm just saying , wow, things really got presented one kind of way in the movies and media.
Probably not healthy to present any gender as always being strong, and never needing emotional support. Because it sure seems to have fucked things up.
However, it wasn't women who made all of that, so
it's beyond a little perplexing.
Maybe it has something to do with that "phenomenon" where many men act super different with eachother, and around other guys, than they do when they are alone w women.
Impression management at it's "finest" /s lol.
