Thoughts? I’m all for calling out grooming situations but I saw people freaking out on TikTok for a 10-year gap at when the couple met at ages 30 and 40. source

Once you get into femininity and realize men actually hate it, being basic feels kind of punk.
Femininity is such an excellently decorated trap door.
Enter here to learn about gaining men's approval!
It starts of with sundresses and cooking, then you get into the history of medicinal herbs and witch hunts, then you walk through the hall of women's invisible positions in war, how our roles have been revised by today's misogynistic historians, how men were the hunters not because of strength, but because women's deaths would be detrimental to the groups population.
So now you're wholly impressed and proud to be a woman, then some guy makes a pumpkin spice latte joke and suddenly you drink them every morning just to tell him to fuck off.
There's no one I trust more than a hyper femme lesbian wearing all pink and a glitter eyeshadow look.

"The 80/20 Rule"
Have you heard about this? The idea that "80 percent of woman are only dating the the top 20 percent of men."
My husband has been repeating this more and more frequently, parroting co-workers and mid-life crisis family members. I asked him tonight to show me statistics. Prove to me that this isn't another way to blame women for simply having standards. He could not.
Ladies, let me give you the tools to fight this. The actual statistic is that Tinder and Okcupid's user base is made up of roughly 75 percent men, give or take a few percentage points. You can easily find the exact percentage on Google. So, yes, while 25-ish percent of men are engaging 75-ish percent of women on dating sites, the gender pool is so skewed that the ratio of men dating women is actually fairly even. The number of men and women having sex is comparable! And this number doesnt even factor in LGBTQIA+. The rebuttal was that only the "top men", "tallest men", "most attractive men" are having sex with women, so I challenged the narrative. Who is determining what is attractive? Tall by what standard? What factors determine a "top" man? Because the female gaze is not the male male gaze. I'm barely 5 foot tall. I could give a rat's ass about height.
The simple fact is that there is no data to back up this narrative. Several of the "sources" that were cited were based on feelings, emotions, and opinions. So I reminded my husband that feelings were not facts (his words) and that until he could provide actual studies by actual scientists or statistical data from one of these dating sites, I would assume that none of it was true or reputable. It's confirmation bias.
So, this is my goodnight, at 12:39 am, after having watched my show and peeked over my husband's shoulder to see ALL of the links on his Google search were purple. I'm tucking myself into bed and hopefully waking up to a more informed spouse tomorrow.

"The 80/20 Rule" : r/TwoXChromosomes
9.8K votes, 1.9K comments. 14M subscribers in the TwoXChromosomes community. Welcome to TwoXChromosomes, a subreddit for both serious and silly…
he's not funny, but I am!
I work as a hostess for a henna company. It's a really busy and fun job, and I always have a crowd of people around my desk looking at henna art. Though once in a while the creepy "funny" guy shows up.
This time it was a couple, late 50thies early 60thies I guess. She wanted intricate henna on her hands and fingers, looked trough our books for examples, asked for prices and I helped her out.
My artists are really skilled and experienced and makes amazing small details.
Insert classic interruption of women doing business by obnoxious husband:
"How much for drawing cock and balls on my cock and balls?"
I did not miss a beat, looked him in the eyes and said with a serious face:
"We can't do that, we need a bigger surface."
Then turned back to his wife to continue our talk.
She cackled! And when he stood there, deadfaced starring at us, she EXPLAINS THE JOKE TO HIM! In front of my crowd of people.
He never cracks a smile. She buys the most expensive henna piece she could get, and was still laughing when I put her in line to match with an artist.
The husband? He gave me the stink eye (which I ignored, I have a job to do) then vanished into the crowd.
Bonus: when I told my boss, he cackled too.

Edit:
I did not think my little workstory would get this kind of attention. My mom called and I get back here seeing a ton of comments and even awards! Thank you guys!
I told mom my story too, she is very proud of me, lol!
Though... The real hero is the wife!
I've shut down men like him more times than I can count, but never have I had a wife back me up like that!
Thank you, lady who loves henna art. You made the day for a lot of people <3

MFW I find out yet another man who made "publicly swooning over his perfect angel wife" his entire personal brand gets caught cheating. source
Men seethe and seethe at women getting more matches on dating apps without ever stopping to look at the gender ratio of these apps they're on... source
Friendly reminder to not have sex with conservative men.
Just making sure we're still on the same page here. You can't change him with the power of love. You can't win him over with thoughtful debate. He's not an alright guy when you put aside the political stuff. Remember that libertarian men are often just conservatives who like weed.
