Women’s Space Peer Support Megathread

[violetforever]

Genuinely I don't know any women in long term relationships who like the men they are with. They tolerate them. I have been in several long term relationships with men and continue to be amazed by how they continue to let me down in new and impressive ways. Our only hope is lesbianism. It's not portrayed in the media (in a positive, attractive way) for a reason.

i think i was forever changed when my grandma was talking about her marriage to my grandpa and she said exactly what you did. she said "ive been tolerating him for almost 50 years". that moment and those words have just stuck in my mind and paralyzed me. i always knew their marriage was horrible since i was a child but something about directly hearing that from her made it so much more real. not to mention all the other women in my family whose marriages or relationships scare me away from ever having one.

i cant see relationships with men as anything more than settling. they see no problem in their behavior that is so misogynistic, abusive, predatory and unfaithful. actually i think they are aware and they just dont care because of how inferior they see women aside from being sexual objects.
