I would much rather end up a single cat lady than going through the depression and frustration (and probably divorce) with a horrible husband

They think this is a women’s fear because that’s their fear, loneliness

also telling women that all careers suck & the only fulfilling lifestyle could be as a married mother like our only options can be a stay at home mom or corporate slave <<<

The men are definitely projecting their fear, I’ve never felt afraid when i see posts of men describing our “biggest fear” of loneliness. But I do feel afraid when I see posts of women talking about “married single mom” or “all the things he did while cheating” (and it’s all these cute memories then fast forward to her crying) or when a woman’s pregnant and the dude starts berating her about how “hard it’s been for him”.

The only reason loneliness may bother me is because I do wanna get married one day, but it doesn’t come close to the fear I feel about the other things I mentioned.

i don’t think this is talking about loneliness but more of betrayal and the waste of time and energy and life

no, the fear is going through something so horrible. yes they will be alone, but the fear is going through that effort just to feel unloved. like two ppl losing weight. one person for health reasons, one for vanity. they’re both gonna end up smaller, but the fear for one person is being unhealthy and the fear of other is wanting more attention.

Then aren’t you a slave to your kids? You lose your entire identity.

You shouldn’t be a slave to either 😭 working hard at your job shouldn’t mean your job owns you and having a family shouldn’t mean they regard you as less than them

Thinking that the only alternative to being a slave to your family is being a slave to your future career is a toxic mindset girl I hope you mature out of it soon

or, women can commit themselves to all sorts of passions outside of offices & baby nurseries. idk why this is so hard for some people to understand, but you don’t need to impose your limiting beliefs on others

we grow up asking young girls what they wanna be when they grow up & then get upset when they actually consider what they want their future to look like outside of just who they’re married to

My “role” is currently sustaining myself with my own money, which unlike what you’re preaching here doesn’t mean that my job owns me 24:7

women can own their own businesses, travel all the time, create art & music, connect w/ other women, etc. all without being “owned” by a corporation or getting married? why do you hate the idea of a free, single/childless, HAPPY woman so much?
