Why Whining About the Opposite Sex is Tired and Played Out
(5 thoughts on how men and women can grow the f$$k up)
This is getting ridiculous. Every time I log onto Facebook and scroll down my newsfeed, someone is posting some nonsensical attack on the entirety of their opposite sex. What annoys me even more is that it’s often people I grew up with or am friends with, which is downright disappointing.
They follow online “gurus” who are supposed to be teachers who instead attack and degrade. They blame the entire opposite sex for everything wrong with society and culture, and even with any flaw of today’s youth. They even blame them for their personal relationships gone wrong. Get that? Billions of people are the reason why their personal love life crumbled.
I personally think gender wars are stupid. It wreaks of flightiness and insecurity. Ontop of that, the small and petty debates sabotage any resolution to the real issues that include sexual assault, sex trafficking, abortion rights, fair and equal pay, and the health of women’s bodies.
I have pondered this issue inside and out. I have found myself trying to reason with people, using logic, to stop projecting their own issues onto the other. I have detached myself from people, men and women both, who can’t seem to stop the madness. Hopefully this article will be a positive…
