As a man I don’t see what value we bring to a woman.

All women I meet are all independent. Quite feminist.

I don’t really see what value is added being a man nowadays

I’ve had zero success with women anyway. I think I have to die alone.

Women have so much value, their beauty, they can give life, be nurturing, earn a living for themselves. Being a man is shit, women can do more. Women can even make easier money from selling pics of their feet.

A girl I work with who I recently stopped seeing (she is currently 17) because she told me she didn’t feel independent enough and didn’t want to end up dependent on me instead of her parents, plus she claimed to be busy with work and school, I found out she was hanging out with the guy she told me not to worry about who likes all of her pictures on Facebook and Instagram recently shared an image of two women cutting off a man’s head for international women’s day. I would share the image but this app won’t let me… anyway do you think this image of two women using a sword to cut off a man’s head is appropriate for international women’s day?

There have been a few times in my life where I dated women who had “school girl” crushes on me. However they later quickly bailed when they got to know the real me.

I am not a psycho or anything. I am definitely a deep thinker and can be sensitive about things. I got some depression but I’ve always been independent both financially and emotionally. I get support from friends but I know it’s ultimately up to me to fix my own issues.

Anyway I’ve improved on how showed my lesser sides to women as I have gotten older. Gotten better at being careful about what emotions I will show women vs. which ones I’ll keep a lid on. Especially when it comes to insecurities

But I can remember dating a few women in the past who were initially head over heels for me because of the fantasy they had in their head about who they thought I was. Sure it felt good initially. They often pursued me and made dating easy. No problem getting laid in that scenario (usually their idea). They also would act seemingly supportive and tolerant of my personality. But this always ended bad. Very bad. One girl ghosted me after dating for 9 f*cking months. And all while I was dating I was aware they might just be daydreaming only to do a 180 later when their “emotions” changed.

But there have been a few women I pursued just to discover issues with them later that was less than pleasant. It was a turn off but I never did a quick 180 immediately just because they didn’t match up to the original image I had of them in my head.

There's a new trend brewing... modifying traditional literature to be more politically correct.

Several of the most iconic characters in children’s literature, including Augustus Gloop, the Oompa Loompas, and Mrs. Twit, are being described with more inclusive language after publishers made edits to some of author Roald Dahl’s books.

Puffin, the prestigious children’s publisher, and the Roald Dahl Story Company, which Netflix acquired in 2021, worked with sensitivity readers to review Dahl’s texts and give them an update so his stories “can continue to be enjoyed by all today.” The edits generally focus on removing potentially offensive language related to gender, race, weight, mental health, and violence, according to the Independent.

Some of those changes:

* Augustus Gloop from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is now “enormous” and not “fat.”
* In a gender-neutral revision, the Oompa Loompas in that same book are now described as “small people” rather than “small men.”
* In The Witches, where 59 changes were reportedly made by publishers, a line was added to a paragraph that explains why the witches are bald underneath their wigs: “There are plenty of other reasons why women might wear wigs and there is certainly nothing wrong with that.”

These changes sparked a firestorm. Critics unloaded on the edits, accusing them of being clumsy, erasing the author’s intended meaning, and representing political correctness run amok. Acclaimed writer Salman Rushdie tweeted, “Roald Dahl was no angel but this is absurd censorship.”

What do you think? Should literature be updated or left in its original form?
