No, you're the one that is being dishonest. In this day and age a man simply buying his wife gifts and being loving towards her can garner the word 'simp'. Even basic respect can make you seem like a simp.
How many times have we seen online a man that is buying loving, doing something thoughtful for his wife be branded as a 'simp'? Its always the redpill types as well. Funny how selective you are as the same website also states:
It is true that "simp" can be misused in that sense but even the way you describe this misusage of the term "In this day and age a man simply buying his wife gifts and being loving... can garner the word 'simp'"- seems to indicate that even you recognize that this is a misusage of the term.
My post was dealing with the word in the sense of what it actually means and in the sense that OP was using it.
"A simp: one that puts women on a pedestal and tries to gain their favour by being submissive to them and being accepting of all their demands, just so they can get some crumbs of attention.
Being a benevolent husband is not being a simp."
I mean... sure... there are guys who use the word incorrectly but that doesn't get rid of what the word actually means and the sense in which OP used it which is the correct meaning. He obviously wasn't talking about buying flowers for one's wife.
You need to stop calling people and concepts you don't agree with as feminist.
There is definitely a feminist influence in this thread. CNN is even open about it- if you read the article, they want to get rid of the word or change it to mean something good because it supposedly promotes "toxic masculinity" and they even are openly pushing against the term in order to groom men for some sort of "new masculinity". I don't think we need to push any sort of "new masculinity". Most people here are in the West and so yes many people here are influenced by Western ideologies such as feminism and liberalism and there is no sin on me if I point that out.
""Think the energy of puppy dog eyes but manifested in a romantic, human form," Howlett said. "It's used in an insulting manner. Though typically playful, there are definitely undertones of toxic masculinity since it's related to showing too much emotion."...
One way to think of a simp, said Sean Davis, a marriage and family therapist in Sacramento, California, is "simply someone who is ahead of their time."" -the CNN article
