So, uh, if this is what men need at the end of the day, what does this guy think women need at the end of their day? Or is it only men "fighting battles" in their day-to-day lives? Because this surely implies that either men are needlessly making things harder for themselves if women somehow manage to avoid daily battles, or that women don't need comfort after their daily battles... and wouldn't that make men, who do need that help, the weaker sex?

See, youre actually missing one key component here. They dont think of women as people. Just baby machines made to please men.

It's true. As soon as I'm out of sight of my husband I dock like a Roomba and wait until he returns so I can wipe away his tears and give him a foot rub.

All women have to do is iron his shirt and make sure there's food on the table when he gets in. He's out in the real world doing manly things to bring home the bacon.

Every woman I've ever dated has expected me to do what they call "being there for them" in what I can only assume to be situations similar to whatever he's hyperbolically referring to as "battles," and I was happy to, and they did the same for me which I appreciated. But maybe since it's just taken for granted that men do that for women (people itt seem not to realize being supportive is a bare minimum expectation for any partner), and according to the post it is mommy issues when a man wants it in return, it sounds to me like women are the weaker one.

Did I do the gender war right? Do we really have to "men bad women bad" wanting supportive partners ffs? This is why I don't talk to people anymore, cats are better.

A whole lot of people in this thread don't understand that a therapist does.

I know right! It’s all “but men bruh” but who takes care of women?

I know themselves do, because no one will. But somehow that’s accepted, and men taking care of themselves and stop exploiting women isn’t?
