Whose more Fragile?
For research purposes, I asked the women I know about some things that men do that frustrate them, or what patterns they have that just make us wonder about their species. I asked women with a wide range of relationship statuses: married, in a relationship, dating. So no, it’s not all bitter single women.
The top responses were. . .
1. Exist: This one came courtesy of two of my friends, and I must admit that the question why some of you exist is truly valid. Is your main goal just to make women’s lives difficult? Do you enjoy seeing what happens to her face when you push her buttons, or do you just have a death wish and would like to cease existing?
2. Breathe: Some of the men in the world are taking up oxygen they don’t deserve. You can @ me at my statement. Meet me outside, I don’t care!
That was funny, I made myself laugh. Ok now, in all seriousness. 1. Why do men call you cute one moment, but if you turn them down, why do they want to call out your name?
Answer easy: Fragile ego. I am not sure if all of you got the memo, but it was definitely broadcasted. I am allowed to say no to your advances. The same way I can come up to you as a woman and you can say no. However, I would never disrespect you in such a manner by calling you a bitch or ugly just because of a “no.” I have walked down the street and had a guy come up to me and start the usual spiel of how I’m pretty and ask me why I’m out here alone. Answer: I’m trying to get home. I tried to politely turn him down, but he wouldn’t quit. I had to say no again, and then he called me a bitch. How do I go from beautiful to bitch in 2.3 seconds flat? I have actually just started lying and saying that I have a boyfriend because apparently men take to the fact that you “belong” to someone else better than me as a woman “belonging” to herself and saying no.Excerpt From: Nikki Akinyi McKenzie. “#RelationshipStatus.”
