Ugh or oversensitive? Photo included

I was just flicking through Facebook and saw this post from a friend. I'm not sure which bit offended me most but the "submissive" was possibly the winner there although so many good contenders. It was also the bit about finding a man as though we are incomplete without one. Personally I've never felt better since being without one! Happy to be told I'm being ridiculous but it's really got me thinking about how this stuff is constantly fed to society as a whole. There's probably male equivalent ones but I never see any male friends posting them.

yeah, annoyed. the submissive did it for me.

Runbikeswim · 07/09/2018 21:47

No not being over-sensitive. It's embarrassing and a bit pathetic.

Pass the vomit bowl...

Did a woman post this? Ffs. I need that punch emoticon from skype.

PerverseConverse · 07/09/2018 22:02

Yes, it was a woman who posted it. It's someone I've not actually seen for about 7 years. Posts a lot of pouty, filtered selfies and crap like this.

If this woman existed, she would almost definitely try to sell you aloe vera weighloss gel.

MyKingdomForBrie · 07/09/2018 22:11

Oh ffs, 'she knows where to draw the line and be a woman' because ring a woman is being submissive and selfless?!

No fucking wonder so many of us on here end up carrying 99% of the weight in family/house/relationship while he's down the pub/playing sports/building his career.

Pure sexist indoctrinating bullshit.

Way beyond ugh and into projectile vomiting territory!

BreconBeBuggered · 07/09/2018 22:16

Bit queasy now tbh.

DontCallMeBaby · 07/09/2018 22:23

Unfriend and bask in not seeing her again for another 77 years.

FloralBunting · 07/09/2018 22:23

She's an alpha, but she knows where to draw the line and be a woman?

I have realized this is so my red button right now! Woman, stop with all that assertive forthrightness. You must know when to draw the line and be soft and yielding!

We will allow a woman to display 'alpha' traits, but only if she can prove she is really a woman by knowing when to draw the line.

‘She knows how to take care of a man’.

In a sort of Al Pacino way?

FloralBunting · 07/09/2018 22:40

Don't worry love, I'll take care of you.

Ask what happens if that woman is a lesbian? Do they get stuck in a permanent alpha submissive loop and no one makes the tea?
I’ve got a friend like this. She pulls in an equal wage and works full time. But still says she submits to her husbands decisions. Many an hour spent in heated debate.

Eeeeeeeeeeew

Massive cringe

How ever “

Is equally as cringey and wrong
