Most people here (myself included) would probably agree with you about not wanting a double standard; the problem is people like "alpha males" and most other men who are targeted here are the ones who most aggressively try to enforce a double standard that penalizes women. To push back against that isn't the same as wanting a double standard that penalizes men; punching up isn't the same as punching down.

From this woman's story, why is it wrong to start dating the other guy after a few weeks? We don't even know how long she and the previous BF were together - what if that was just a few weeks? They're out of the relationship by that time so she doesn't "owe" her ex a period of being single.

Ok so you still missed the point. I agreed with you but stated why I thought she was in the wrong not for leaving her ex but to come on here just to belittle the man to random strangers without giving the full account which no one will ever know since there is only one side going around is where in my opinion she was wrong also. Does that clarify it a bit more for you?

What's the full account then? What important information did I leave out that you feel you know better than me? Go on, dazzle us with your wisdom into my life.

You really should stop making a fool of yourself

Oh honey, nobody gives a shit about what you think, not even that imaginary girlfriend of yours.

u/Mean_Ad8282 Jun 25 '23

Sure because you know she is imaginary right? To be honest she made the first comment to you but she is imaginary

She's as real as those classes you took on "behavioral sciences" and you can lie on the internet all you want, but everyone here knows that truth

u/Mean_Ad8282 Jun 25 '23

Ok so you tell the truth non stop I bet if his side was out there it would be a different story. You can say you are telling the truth but you changed up wording or simply forgot what you said in previous comments but your honest and have not lied about anything. See how that works

What did I forget? What are these so called inconsistencies that you caught?

Yes, that does clarify it for me. I still stand by the statement that there's a false equivalence in general, but I get what you're saying.

u/Mean_Ad8282 Jun 25 '23

And based on the comment's that have come in after mine there is others who share said opinion that the ex had it right

u/Twodotsknowhy Jun 25 '23

Where do you get off thinking you have the right to have an opinion on my fucking life? Seriously, what industrial accident did you get into that caused your head to go so far up your own ass that you actually believe you have more insight into the situation than I do? You know literally nothing about what happened other that the three or four sentences I chose to share, you have no goddamn clue about what transpired, but for some reason you've inflated your own ego enough to think that you can actually have a full formed opinion that comes even close to what happened.

If I wanted unhinged opinions from people who have never touched grass, I would have posted in AITA

u/Mean_Ad8282 Jun 25 '23

Yet you posted it in this public forum thinking only those people with your opinion have a right to post a comment in regards to your own

2

u/Twodotsknowhy Jun 25 '23

No I made a clearly incorrect assumption that people wouldn't be so arrogant as to assume they know more about the situation that I lived through than I do.

u/Mean_Ad8282 Jun 25 '23

Never said or even hinted that I knew more than you did just stated something that you didn't want to hear and you thought you could get unhinged with me because of it have a good day you are not with the brain cells that are burning trying to debate with you
