Obviously he's sick of people bashing his lifestyle so much."Another thing that bugs me is when a lot of modern female characters that aren't described as "strong", and are described as "submissive", "weak", "shy, etc are written and the author is called sexist."
"While most reasonable people see women and men as equals, few (if any) dare to claim that femininity is masculinity's equal."
I love that quote so much. Because it's so true, and I think it ties into what you said. Any female character that isn't a Man With Tits gets derided as sexist. This, to me, makes writing horrendously aggravating, because if I dare to, say, portray a female character as being good at cooking, someone is going to scream "SEXIST" at me as loud as concievebly possible over the internet.
And yet the top chefs are primarily male. Society is funny like that, isn't it?
But yes, it comes down to femininity still being derided. Because men are supposed to be terrible at raising children, ya know.
Side note: at least Brock from Pokemon bucks the stereotype somewhat.
^I'd question the value placed on the relationship in that case.
"But yes, it comes down to femininity still being derided. Because men are supposed to be terrible at raising children, ya know."
And yet, if a boy didn't have his father around when he was a kid, he is viewed as "losing" something (My father says that his father was a weak, unfit-for-life reality man.....because he was raised by only his mother).
But if men are supposed to be bad at raising children, then why are men supposed to be good at raising boys?
HOW DOES THAT EVEN MAKE SENSE
The guy she's dating might seem like an asshole to you, but unless you are said girl I don't see how judging him is going to work out, because most girls see qualities in guys that most guys don't, and most of the so called assholes are just men with self-esteem management problems or too much pride that tend to piss other people off or come off as smug or douchebaggy. I remember a bunch of guys who used to like me thought my boyfriend was an asshole just because he played basketball and was very smug, but he was actually very nice and treated me with some manners and respect. They may be a douchebag to you, but probably not to the girl.
SO SUDDENLY I AM NOT ALLOWED TO USE THE WORD MOST WELL OH GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODmost of the assholes I've met or dated weren't actually assholes at all.
