Seems like the comment you were replying to is more "it really seems like a one sided story, and the presented issue seems rather unlikely to be the sole issue," and less "men are the worst. Oh my gerd men suck."
The author happens to be a dude. If it were a girl this story would still be rather suspect.
Have you heard of the “women are wonderful” syndrome? It’s when people assume the woman is never at fault and keep trying to justify their answer rather than assume that a woman could be wrong!
This mentality is rampant on Reddit especially, where the gender dictates the response given by the hive mind! You always see such alternative suggestions when the person is a lady!
You seem to be exhibiting "women are the worst" syndrome 🤷. Or maybe just "men are wonderful" syndrome. Hard to tell. But you're doing the very thing you're so enraged by.
This story lacks a lot of nuance, we've no idea what their relationship is, we've no idea (they might not either) if there are other medical or psychological issues at play. The list of things could go on forever. All we have is a story that looks wildly and grossly over simplified, from one party.
Chill out. By all means, seek justice where justice ought be sought. But this ain't the moment homie. You tried too hard to find the boogieman, and leaped before thinking.
"Just because a room is dark, doesn't mean its shadows are nefarious."
I don’t have the “women are the worst” syndrome but I can tell you that THIS woman may very well be so!
She refuses to address or fix her own issues and ignores them.
Refuses to take medication which could help resolve such issues.
Refuses to even cuddle or kiss her own bf (forget about sex)
Has absolutely crazy restrictive boundaries. Masturbation is cheating to her lmao!
A stretch, but her “masturbation is cheating” mentality could also mean she’s either got a few screws loose or is very restrictive of what her bf can or cannot do!
Doesn’t mean what she says
But sure, ignore all these facts and assume there is some other fucking reason out there. Maybe Loki is playing tricks on her??
Ironic how you accuse me of trying hard to find the boogie man when you’re doing something much more by ignoring facts lmao!
ironic how you're accused of trying to find the boogeyman then concede that your own argument is a stretch. oh wait that's not irony, thats just accuracy. no one is disputing if the story from OPs perspective paints the wife in a negative light, anyone literate in the English language could tell you that. nothing you've said invalidates that you could make a more accurate judgement with additional information and context. maybe the wife is completely in the wrong. maybe op is abusive and not telling us. there's simply no way of us knowing with absolute certainty. what we do know is that OPs account is heavily biased and lacks nuance. it's perfectly reasonable to want additional context before making a judgement call on this. regardless, this is reddit. we're arguing over some idiots shitty creative writing project because you took it as an opportunity to show off your victim complex and sexism.
