"When you brag about your partner, you take attention away from a pressing social issue, and demand that women thank a men they do not know for doing something he should be doing anyway. Men do not deserve thanks and gratitude for not beating/cheating on their partners. Helping to raise the children you created should not earn one the acclaim of the entire Internet. "

Just when I think I could not possibly love you anymore, you write stuff like this and somehow I DO.

Exactly!

Bragging like that buys into the notion of being the “right kind of woman”, and that if a nam is treating you badly then you deserve it.

A hit dog hollers 🙌🏻

Also I had the same experience as the above commenter, just when I don’t think I could possibly love you any more you come over here with: “If you feel hated by my content, it’s because it’s about you, you violent misogynist piece of shit.”

YES.

"The implication here is that men and manhood are so fragile that they must continually be defended even in the midst of a critique."

THIS line HITS.

Whew! Fabulous piece. Fabulous advocacy for women.

"A hit dog hollers," is a line I will be using often.
