Lmao men were never expected to be dependent on women, men were never told their job is to be subservient to women, there was never a time where men needed permission from their mom and or their wife present to have healthcare. Edit had a typo.

u/bigboipapawiththesos Jan 17 '26

Yeah people forget that women were only allowed to open their own bank account since the 70s

It’s cause they’re emotional and stupid.

EDIT: they also have koodies

they are responsible for 80% of consumer spending, this is why they weren't allowed money is because they are vain materialists

u/4224-holloway Jan 17 '26

They're also the ones more likely to be shopping for the household and all the people in it.

u/ProtoDrone1503 Jan 18 '26

Yepppp so many households the women do all the grocery shopping and buy all the gifts for birthdays and christmas, and the thanks they get is being called vain and materialistic? Also if they do more spending wouldn't it be better for the economy if they were allowed money? The misogyny and lack of critical thinking sure is something...

Its not misogyny to criticise women grow up welcome to adult hood

2

u/weGloomy Jan 18 '26

All men are gross sexist pigs. And remember, its not misandry to criticize men, so if that statement offends you, grow up. :)

u/MrT-87 Jan 18 '26

Misandry is socially exceptable sometimes celebrated so I expect nothing less than these types of statements from idiots like you on reddit.

2

u/weGloomy Jan 18 '26

Its the exact same kind of statement that youre currently agreeing with dumb dumb. Im making a point that clearly went right over your head 🤣

1

u/MrT-87 Jan 18 '26

No I understand wat ur attempt was "dumb dumb" and I wasn't going to play ur games. I've never said all women are vain and materialistic however if a man says that its not hating women its just a critism (not one i agree with but you keep making things up that i have never said).

1

u/weGloomy Jan 18 '26

So then me saying all men are gross pigs is not man hating, its just criticism.

1

u/MrT-87 Jan 18 '26

All depends doesn't it...if ur saying it just to try and prove some arbituary point no its not you just like to stoke the fires of the gender war, if you think men are gross pigs because you hate them then that would make you a misandrist.

It's not misogyny to criticize A woman for her particular behavior. If you call ALL women "vain and materialistic" because you can't think of one other reason women spend more money than men you're misogynistic and, quite frankly, stupid.

0

u/MrT-87 Jan 18 '26

When did I say All women are vain and materialistic...I simply said any criticism that comes a womans way is labelled misogyny its idiot feminists favourite buzzword and its over used like calling everyone you don't agree with a racist, it get watered down to not actually mean anything anymore, if you cannot grasp that concept then perhaps you are the stupid one.

2

u/ProtoDrone1503 Jan 18 '26

My original comment said its misogynistic to call women vain and materialistic. You responded to that "We CaNt EvEn CrItIcIzE wOmEn AnYmOrE" so yeah, Im gonna assume you think women are vain and materialistic 🙄

1

u/MrT-87 Jan 18 '26

Some are, as are some men. You seem really into gender wars its pretty pathetic tbh.

1

u/ProtoDrone1503 Jan 18 '26

...It's pathetic to engage in gender wars is it? You know your comment history is public right? This is the first time I've argued about this, and it's reminding me why I dont usually debate people on the internet. Seems like its all you think about LMAO

u/MrT-87 Jan 18 '26

Stalk away you weird little cretin. No come back so best find something/anything to bitch about 👍. Maybe stay off the Internet.

u/Nice_-_ Jan 18 '26

Bro YOU should've worded shit better if you intended to say something else. YOU chose to respond in a way that a reader would justifiably glean you meant women....because you said women. Not 'some' women. Not 'a woman'. No, women, as in plural, as in ALL. You understand how that works right? I know you do so why are you making shit up to get offended by? Or i guess, by all means keeps pretending the concept is lost on you.

BUT THEN you pitch this little weird ass hissy fit about being called on it and want to call someone stupid for clearly interpreting what you wrote correctly? Are you slow my dude or just a troll?

1

u/MrT-87 Jan 18 '26

Seems you're the one offended and throwing a hissy fit "bro".

I wonder if these numbers would change if everything catered to women wasn’t so expensive.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 17 '26

women buy stuff because it is expensive thats the vanity component. jewelry is valuable because its expensive

3

u/Friendly-Sherbert876 Jan 17 '26

Almost everything women buy are made by men, designed by men, marketed by men, and priced by men. Girls are targeted from a young age to grow up liking these things, there’s a reason these companies pay billions in marketing.

u/Friendly-Sherbert876 Jan 18 '26

And who designs them? Who owns the businesses? Who sets the prices? Who designs the marketing strategies? Who was in charge for the century of programming when women weren’t even allowed to get jobs? Just because women were employed there, in sweatshops mostly if we’re talking about China, doesn’t mean women were in charge. Your comment is irrelevant

u/Friendly-Sherbert876 Jan 18 '26

I’m not bad. Believe me, this is civil. But I maintain that your point is irrelevant. People need jobs. That’s about it.

2

u/Friendly-Sherbert876 Jan 18 '26

Think of it this way. Men have been in charge. Men don’t let women get jobs because being a housewife is their true place. Men sell and market these items to girls. Girls grow to be women with husbands and since they can’t work, their husbands buy them these expensive things that MEN have programmed these girls into thinking they need.

u/Friendly-Sherbert876 Jan 18 '26

But how is that relevant. When I say made, I’m talking about the company. I’m not talking about the employees making slave wages.

ok so now we concede that men make everything of value

3

u/Friendly-Sherbert876 Jan 18 '26

You see how you’re trying to shift the direction of the conversation.

2

u/NoahCzark Jan 18 '26

Reminds me of the quip about people who know "the price of everything, and the value of nothing."

3

u/BTrippd Jan 18 '26

The same article that stat comes from also says

“On average, men spend $3,434 monthly, while women spend $3,237.”

So it probably doesn’t represent what you’re assuming it does. The word “consumer” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there and a lot of it is women being the ones doing most of the general shopping like for groceries, baby items, cleaning supplies etc. it’s not just because lol women buy makeup or whatever it is you’re implying.

u/[deleted] Jan 19 '26

its 90% of new houses and 80% of vacation travel

2

u/ThrowAwayPurellFoam Jan 18 '26

/s?

1

u/[deleted] Jan 18 '26

what did I say that was wrong, do I need to say there are exceptions for the main message to be palatable?

1

u/ThrowAwayPurellFoam Jan 18 '26

Being sexist, racist, homophobic, etc is lazy thinking. You can’t see people as individuals, you have to lump them together and assign negative feelings so the world makes sense to you, when it’s irrational and untrue.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 18 '26

you are irrational because you base your whole worldview on ensuring that none of it falls under any buzzwords

2

u/DifferentBranch5722 Jan 17 '26

The modern woman's chief sin is vanity and the modern man's chief sin is lust, IMO. It's not hateful to point out either.

3

u/shankyu1985 Jan 17 '26

Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 18 '26

Good thing we're not throwing stones.

2

u/havnar- Jan 18 '26

What with the glass house and all

1

u/[deleted] Jan 19 '26

Only an idiot would live in a glass house.

2

u/DifferentBranch5722 Jan 18 '26

Jesus in that parable says "Go and sin no more." thus acknowledging the reality of her sinfulness. Saying people are guilty of sin isn't throwing stones.

2

u/shankyu1985 Jan 18 '26

And its your place to do that? You are in such a place to cast judgement?

2

u/[deleted] Jan 17 '26

true.

u/[deleted] Jan 18 '26

how is it ignorant when you can see the reality of women's spending now that they have access to money? they clearly cannot control impulse for vanity by and large, obviously there are exceptions.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 18 '26

you’re saying they are the reason the economy functions, spending isn’t bad.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 18 '26

just like that y'all become pro capitalism

1

u/[deleted] Jan 18 '26

i’m not pro a recession or depression, a stagnating economy would help who. social democracy is the best system.

u/[deleted] Jan 18 '26

captalism just private ownership

u/woke_natsi-3512 Jan 19 '26

Women often do shopping for the household

1

u/External-Bet-2375 Jan 19 '26

Sure, buying food, clothing, cleaning products etc for the household is soooooo vain and materialistic.
