Thank you for this. It has done my heart good, and I wholeheartedly agree.

Men are more likely to watch and interact with online content about 'being a man', is the thing, isn't it...? Andrew Tate, and the rest of the manosphere. Red pill, MGTOW, blah blah blah.

Not to gain insights, and seek ways to 'become a better man'. But to seek justification for their grievances. Most of which seem to come down to the cognitive dissonance surrounding being attracted to women, but... actually *hating* women.

Anyway. I'm a live-alone, long-time-single GenX - deeply content not to have the male nonsense in my home or my life, on the daily.

Let's just make sure the books aren't J.Peterson and maybe more Ian Kerner. ;)

I haven’t given any headspace to men (other than as you correctly pointed out the necessary headspace we must give them to navigate our safety and security) UNTIL THE LAST TWO WEEKS before swiftly being ghosted for no reason and I’m just KICKING MYSELF for being so stupid as to engage in the first place. Now thoughts of what his problem is have been clinging to the peripheries for three days too long and I just really resent that so much

Urghhh THE WORST!!! And the truth is, there will never be a logical answer as to why. You will never understand him. It will never make sense. Because a man ghosting a woman instead of having an adult conversation in which they explain they don’t want to continue things further MAKES NO SENSE! It’s not worth the headspace.
