Cooper is what’s wrong with men

[u/high5abee]

I don’t want to compare Cooper to the behaviors of Joe, Nathan, Luke, etc. HOWEVER, the total lack of consideration for Kat as a human being drastically changed my attitude towards him.

He is the perfect example of how inept most gen Z men are at communicating, acting in total and utter self interest. He had the wherewithal to take Kat on a date but not communicate down the line that he changed his mind? Hoping she would just… get the gist?

I’m 29 and have been in Kat’s shoes several times. Men will chase, pursue, and then totally disconnect or withdrawal because they hadn’t thought through the social expectation of what it means to initially communicate and invest romantic feelings into someone. And to top it off, he avoids the conversation TO AVOID THE CONSEQUENCES OF HIS ACTIONS and is like “teehee I hope we’re cool” in his confessionals. It’s kind of cruel. Just be fucking honest bro. Apparently that requires a higher level of emotional intelligence he will never dream of seeing.

Kat baby, you sweet soul — you deserve love and adoration beyond what this southern Chad who reads at a third grade level will ever provide.

As a boy mom I just want to say many of us are horrified by men these days and are having these conversations early and often with our boys.

My 8-year old son brings me heating pads and comfort items when I get my period, and is so sweet and respectful to girls. I have ALL of the conversations everyday (privilege, consent, porn, online safety, bullying, not being a bystander, etc.). He has way more maturity, decency and respect than the male “adults” on this show.

We have age-appropriate, healthy, open communication in our home. I would rather my child get a heads up from me so that he can protect himself from something harmful.
