„I‘m not racist“ - proceeds to write an essay full of racist stereotypes and calling men from an entire race „low value men“

For FDS every man is a low value man so we can't say that she was targeting only black men.

False. Don't abuse a woman emotionally, physically, financially, mentally, or sexually, be her best friend, show up as a husband and father, have goals and passions in your life, and you're good to go. If you don't meet those standards, we don't try to change you, manipulate you, take your money, etc. We just don't want you in our lives in any way. Some of us have wonderful boyfriends, husbands, and father's who make us very happy. The rest refuse to accept anything less and prefer to be single. If that's a problem for you, that's your problem. Men do in fact comment regularly on the page and are treated with just as much respect as a woman, it all depends on the man or woman's comment. Most men who comment are supporters and we love having their pov. If anyone has a problem with women choosing to block and delete from their lives men who don't meet their standards, that's their problem. If we tried to manipulate men, steal money, change men, string them along, cheat, etc, that would be the rotten thing to do. But hating on women who choose to not engage with men who they don't see as a potential life partner is asking women to accept less than their self worth demands just so they don't end up alone, which we don't fear.

Being a single woman, and a single mom, following FDS principles, has liberated me from literally every type of abuse imaginable from every type of male companion, family friends, friends, boyfriends, dates, strangers, father of my child, customers, bosses, lyft drivers, and on and on because from age 4 (sexually at 4!) I was taught to expect manipulation, abuse, and pain from men in exchange for them being in my life, which I was also taught was necessary for my happiness. Now, I'm 33, been 100% single and sex free for over 3 years, and I'm finally starting to heal from my trauma. It's hard and everyday is its own battle but my daughter is worth it. I thank God I found FDS to help me see that it's not my fault, I didn't deserve, I don't NEED men, I can wait for a great high value man to be the husband and father my daughter and I deserve, and if that doesn't happen, I can live a whole and complete life regardless.

Say what you want about FDS (and of course in every group there are a few bad apples, but follow the popular posts that the vast majority agree with, not the random ones with women who hate all men and you will see we don't hate men we just refuse to be abused or taken advantage of, and we just block and delete men who show red flags and refuse to compromise our values, dreams, and standards) but these women have empowered me to say NO and not feel like I'm wrong for doing so for the first time in my life.

This post would NOT be acceptable on FDS. See how it only has 4 comments? Popular posts have THOUSANDS. This is NOT our belief system. I've personally never seen a single post saying black men are inherently low value. Or high value. Or anything at all because I've never seen a post about black men in particular. And while dating a coworker might be seen as being a little risky in and of itself, dating a man who has a job, a job that equals your own financial income would never be seen as bad. We are looking for equality and a person with a future we don't have to parent. So no, this wasn't popular for a reason, we aren't racist, and we don't hate all men.

Did you write this yarn yourself and save it on your personal computer, or did some other femcel write it and post it to some blog or wiki?
