See that’s the thing, you’re only just now realizing the weight of your words after they got called out. You’re saying “that’s not what I meant” but go back and actually read what you wrote. You clowned men for being lonely, you said they’re getting “weeded out,” you called them “bums,” and then you threw in this whole idea about them flying to “broke countries” to find desperate women to dominate. Be real, that wasn’t some soft critique of character. That was mockery dressed up as a hot take.
You say now that faithful, humble, religious men are what women should seek, but that wasn’t the tone of your post at all. You didn’t uplift those qualities, you glossed over them and chose to focus on shaming a type of man you assume exists in some dusty corner of the internet, but that’s not who I was defending. I was pointing out that the way you framed your whole argument lacked depth and compassion, and yeah, painted a whole demographic of struggling men as pathetic.
Also nobody called you a gold digger so relax on the dramatics. I said the mindset you're feeding into is the problem, the one that sees men as disposable if they’re not instantly impressive or financially dominant. That mindset isn’t unique to you, it’s part of a wider sickness that’s eating at relationships in our generation. You happened to echo it loud enough for me to respond to.
And look, you’re saying I’m arguing with my imagination, but half of your post was written like a standup monologue dragging men for sport. Don’t be surprised that someone took the mic and responded. That’s how dialogue works. If you meant something deeper, then maybe say it with more clarity and less mockery next time.
But anyway no hard feelings. I didn’t waste my time, I said what needed to be said. Because even if you didn’t mean to take it there, a lot of people are being shaped by those exact talking points. And if I can respond with a bit more nuance and faith than what’s usually floating around online, then that’s time well spent.
But hey, if we’re actually saying the same thing, cool. Just next time lead with that instead of trying to cook men for clout.
