Someone just called me a “pick-me” for making a joke about how I like basketball more than my boyfriend…. Can someone explain to me if that is actually pick-me behavior

I regularly bow fish with my man, and any time he brings male guests to hunt with us they just automatically assume that I can’t shoot, and there to sit and look pretty. I just end up outshooting them every time and they get upset. He’s so proud every time.

God forbid a woman have hobbies. My bf and I were watching football once and I was commenting on the plays and his cousin went “wow a girl who actually knows about football!” Like dude what are you even talking about we’re in the 2020s not the 1920s

I’ve been a spurs fan since I was eight I don’t give a shit about the knicks being in the finals other than being mildly interested that this is their first time making it in years

It’s all in fun and putting food on the table, but all that matters is that my partner treats me as an equal while doing “male” hobbies. 🤞
