Cher said: “ A man is not a necessity. A man is a luxury.” Ladies and guys, what do you all think?

[Pinay_ako]

[sweet-chocolate]

Bleh. It might be true. I don't think men should be considered luxury lol, they aren't that special & in a way, it's kind of objectifying them. I don't think men are a necessity either. Men are just like women. Personally, I like men - they are humans, just like me. If a man is nice then why not get along with him? I'm happy with my life, by myself, etc but I still need my boyfriend lol.

Life would be lonely and sad if we didn't have men. I don't know why some feminists try to make it seem like a planet full of women would be better than it is now. But hey, to each their own way of thinking. That's just my opinion.

( I'm also a no-nonsense person so don't oppose my opinion here just because you don't agree. I don't care lol. I've seen people on GaG who just start attacking others just because they said something. Not with me mate)

[sassy_receptor]

she's 100% right. this is one of my favorite quotes especially as a 20 year old woman. it keeps me motivated to work towards my goals and stay focused on the right path.

[Itfyijff]

Lol till you end up single pretending you don’t need a man. You wait. You’ll feel embarrassed about your life. When you’re 30 no one will want you and you’ll be left die the shelf to rot with all the other idiots that aren’t fit for giving life and preserving the species

[sassy_receptor]

lol stay mad <3

[Itfyijff]

You need men stop playing 😂 who’s gonna fix and build everything in your life, your house etc MEN. Men built everything for you ungrateful hoes

[sassy_receptor]

really don’t. most men are just an unneeded burden that don’t add anything to life. they’re not a necessity at all.

[Itfyijff]

Let’s leave you on an island and see how quickly
You women die out 😂 you need men more than you’re willing to commit. We only need you to give birth and suck our dick.

[Itfyijff]

*admit

[sassy_receptor]

you’re telling me this like i give a single fuck lol. you’re a perfect example of why men aren’t a necessity and most are a waste of space. your mother must be miserable.

[sassy_receptor]

anyways cher was and is so right🥰

[Itfyijff]

My mother? She’s rich asf thanks to my father. at least i can say she deserved to ge this lucky unlike you bitches. I hope women these days live a hard life without make support so they can see how foolish they are

[sassy_receptor]

cool story dude

[ZenJen444]

@Itfyijff you're single so what's your point? Just because you're lonely, desperate and insecure doesn't mean she is. Women out live men so you'll be dead and alone in some nursing home

[ZenJen444]

I agree @sassy_receptor they are very much a burden. They're very needy , insecure and need constant validation.

[BUTIMRIGHTTHO]

@sassy_receptor You're being sexist just like him you know. He brought you down to his level and you let him.

[sassy_receptor]

how am i being sexist? just stating what most women already know. that’s why women are actively choosing to say single these days. they know what men have to “offer”.

[BUTIMRIGHTTHO]

@sassy_receptor You cannot see that you're being sexist? Are trolling me? Is he your alt? Your both lvl 1... I'm just muting this post. I don't have time for trollers.

[MAC1983]

This was a rollercoaster I would rather not go on. @sassy_receptor It is your life you make the best choice you can, be it in Career or relationship, and make sure it's one you can deal and live with. Everything else is just noise.

I wish you all the best, despite not knowing you and being a stranger.

[sassy_receptor]

yep appreciate it!

[ZenJen444]

His account got deactivated lol

[EmbraceThePain]

Well, biologically, women are inclined to or programmed to want to have children, have a quality/faithful man, and raise a family. I think this is the software amongst the majority of women in any given population all over the world. Now, what is meant by "necessity?" Well, if you mean what is needed for life then the quote by Cher is right but it is also right the other way around. I don't think Cher meant what is needed for life like food, water, oxygen, etc. I think humans certainly NEED positive and deep intimacy, compassion, affection, etc. So, for most women who are heterosexual, that means the RIGHT man is a necessity in my opinion.

The same can be said in reverse

Anything else is "feel good" WOKE anti-man, false-feminism talk I wouldn't advise men or women listen to.

[BlurryHaze]

Relationships are luxuries.

[jennifer_bloom]

In youth - romance is often a luxury but in old age - they might be your only support system if you have cancer or diabetes or blindness and if they die, the kids they give you might be your only ride to the hospital when you're sick.

[MAC1983]

That is a bit pragmatic view but I will not discard it.

I will just say, though, some kids won't take you to hospital if you're sick. Because Humans often disappoint...

[RangerBlue22]

Just switch the genders up in Cher’s quote and everything would go from “cute, sassy and independent” to “sexist, misogynistic and incel behavior”.

Seriously I am not kidding. Listen up feminists. It’s men who BUILT the modern world you get to made it possible for you to have “freedom”.

Did Cher invent electricity, the radio and television that enabled her music and acting to reach the masses? No she like many other feminists are enjoying a platform they take for granted that was BUILT by men. If she was born 50 years earlier or in a communist country she would of been a nobody.

[Black_Ivory]

I guess it all depends on if you feel you are an island and do not need anyone else, or you are a woman who prefers the company of women over men.

Every human being is different and chooses what is right for them, regardless if anyone else agrees with them or not, especially parents. No one else matters compared to your own personal happiness. You always have to do what is right for you, because in the long haul the only life that you must worry about is your own and your own personal happiness. Nothing else matters.

[hahahmm]

99% of the people who benefit from alimony in divorce are women. Most of the government money that funds women (including single moms) comes from male tax payers. Most child support payments go to women from men... and women spend that cash on a lot of things besides the kid. Let's end 100% of payments to women and test this "man is not a necessity" theory out. Let's end 100% of payments to women and test this "man is not a necessity" theory out.

In most countries, a woman without a man is just prey for the guys who act like wild animals. There are places where even men won't venture out alone and yet some women think they can just waltz anywhere they want without a guy to protect them?

85% of the people in prison come from fatherless homes. Sounds like men are necessary to me.

[Sixgunsound]

Cue the rabid feminists attacking you for having the audacity to call them out. Well done.

[MCheetah]

Yeah, cause Cher is SUCH a great example for women to live their life by.

What a buffoon!

Technically, no one is a necessity and you can live alone without any human contact high on a mountain somewhere. Doesn't mean human contact and relationships aren't a valuable thing.

[Chazmatazz269]

The ring of truth waited until you were almost done. Loneliness kills more people than alcoholism. Of this i am sure. Alcoholism just allows us to pretend we’re having “fun” along the way! Ell oh ell!

[Chazmatazz269]

I’d tend to agree. Only time i truly crushed on a younger woman we were just getting to know each other very tangentially. When i finally decided she might have the mettle and asked about her thoughts and feelings on dating she said, “I’ve got plans and boys are a distraction.”. I instantly liked her even more and immediately backed off. Do your thing, girl. Run some shit! Ell oh ell!

[ChiTown33]

She meant that she didn't need one to survive. And with her bank account I'd agree. But this goes for both genders. You should never be dependent on ANYONE whether you're male or female. That's unhealthy! If you can't be a complete person on your own you're not going to be very good with another.

[motownplayer2000]

Lol, that’s why there are mostly men builders, men, welders, electricians, mechanics, programmers, etc…. I would love to see Cheer or the average woman get there hands dirty and do all that themselves. They wouldn’t bother. I think she got it backwards, since men do all those things and women don’t, it’s easier to say that women are just a luxury.

[Agagagagaga]

She used auto-tune on her biggest hit. 🤣

[MysteriousDarkness]

@Agagagagaga
Her song Believe is said to be the first song that auto tune was used on.

[Msputiton]

Yes a partner is nothing more than a luxury noone is entitled to one and not everyone needs one.

[PainusNdeeAnus]

Everybody loves somebody sometimes

[RandomGuy1032]

Mspuiton has spoken...

[Sixgunsound]

I think that being a live in the era of birth control, welfare, and no-fault divorce enables her to think and talk like that. If any of those things weren’t true she would be living behind a dumpster hooking for cocaine.

[Subarugirl]

It’s amazing what happens when women are seen as equals and not property

[MCheetah]

@Subarugirl
And yet, if I call you an idiot, incompetent, and point out all of your horrible personality flaws and behaviors, like I would any man such as this, you cry "sexism and misogyny," instead of admitting reality, like any man would. "quality when it benefits a feminist, chivalry when it doesn't." Ironic, no?

But don't worry She Hulk, I'm not here to argue.

[Subarugirl]

@MCheetah actually no I wouldn’t because that isn’t misogyny. You’re more than welcome to dislike me but that that doesn’t automatically mean you are sexist or misogynistic… I’m not nice to you because you’re a jerk with Napoleon and victim complex.

[MCheetah]

@Subarugirl
Nah, you're not nice to me or anyone because you hate yourself, hate your own life, and project your inner hatred out onto others in order to cope rather than deal with your internal issues. Just like everyone else who is as vitriolic and "toxic" as you. And you just called me "a misogynist" last week. But since you're wrong about everything, so I take it as a compliment. :)

[Subarugirl]

@MCheetah LOL self projecting much hahah... you are a misogynist, but just disliking me doesn't automatically make you one, being misogynistic does. Also I dont hate you, I just find you repulsive.

[MCheetah]

@Subarugirl
*I'm* projecting? This is what you call Projectception, but okay, She Hulk. If you say so.
And I don't hate you either. I just think you're incredibly stupid, rude, and narcissistic. Like any upper middle class, white, First World feminist in Current Year.

[Subarugirl]

@MCheetah yes you are, I don’t hate myself, like whining about being a midget even though I’m above average height. I am content with my life, love my husband and adore my child. I’m proud of all the work I’ve done to get where I am today. If talking about facts makes you uncomfortable, and calling you on your bigotry makes me toxic than so be it. I’m not the one blaming all my issues on everyone else and on my height.

[MCheetah]

@Subarugirl
Okay, She Hulk. If you SAY so! You were supposedly home schooled, then had your family set you up at a car dealership at 18, and married an upper middle class, open cuckold of a man you admit you mistreat. So happy, but so toxic and judgmental at the same time. Sure. Just keep your dragon dildos away from your children next time.

[Subarugirl]

@MCheetah LOL your imagination knows no bounds. My family has no ties to the automotive industry, I did that and advanced of my own merit. Though I am curios how on earth you have managed to convince yourself that I mistreat my husband... that is quite the reach there hon haha. , I love and respect my husband, which I know is something that you are not familiar with, and that really must irk you because you try and take jabs at my marriage every
chance you get... its pathetic really and it's funny that is usually what bullies try to do when they are insecure about something.

[MCheetah]

@Subarugirl
You don't have any merit, but okay, She Hulk. Whatever you say.

And you don't even seem to remember your past GAG posts and the things you said about your supposed partner (assuming he's even real and not imaginary). I just remember going, "Yup, I'm not surprised she did that."

And there you go with your Projectception again. "You're the bully. Not me. Not the six foot tall feminist who whines to KEVIN the manager to get everyone I've ever disliked fired." You REALLY are She Hulk Attorney At Law!

[Subarugirl]

@MCheetah then show me. What specifically are you talking about…. You’re so sure so show me the proof. You’re obsession with size and comics is hilarious… you’re like the epitome of what a size complex looks like, Jesus Christ dude. Like I know you’re super insecure about being 5’ 11”, but that doesn’t mean that I am..

[Hanrej]

The way socioeconomic politics works these days I'd say she's half right. Men are still necessary but being in a relationship with one is not. Women still get an equal and in many cases larger share of everything men produce... Wich is practically everything.

[TrueConfection]

Both! We need eachother and the right partner IS a luxury.

[ShellyB]

I do not agree, it is hard for me to be alone. But a lot of people both men and women seem to be fine without a relationship, so I would moreso say "a relationship is not a necessity it is a luxury" not specifically men or women.

[ObscuredBeyond]

Cher is a blithering idiot. She thinks that just because she's managed to remain somewhat relevant without Sonny, that this equates to all needs of all women everywhere.

I would be very cautious before trusting anything she says. And get some context to it.

[letuswaltzforthedead]

I wouldn't say anyone at all is a necessity or a luxury, maybe if you think the person you're dating is far above your league or something. At most, a woman does need a man to have/raise children (not necessarily the father but it's the ideal) and to protect her (there will always be a man stronger than her).

[dustybiker]

Depends on how well you get along with men.

[Summeroflove]

It’s true. Many people think they are entitled to someone and can’t take rejection. Even if they don’t even know the person. It makes no sense. And shows why they get rejected and have nobody.

[User3191989]

Cher, the woman who divorced, twice? That cher. She said a man isn't a necessity, but a luxury, that one?

[Pinay_ako]

Yes THAT ONe

[Mac-One]

Makes me think of what a TV weather forecaster once said, "every man needs a wife because so many things go wrong in life that you can't blame on the government". However, that was about 30 years ago when relationships were different.

[Andres77]

We need each other in society.
one can certainly live a life apart from men/women. You don’t need the other to be whole.

she certainly needed her husband Sonny to get famous but divorced him and kept her own momentum thereafter.
