Ami1uwant Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 15 hours ago, QuietRiot said: I've seen a few women in my feed that would put up these memes on how they hit close to home, saying how much they don't need a man, but does someone really need to shout it from the roof tops in order to make the message clear to anyone who is seeing this? One had a meme saying, "When men hit on me in public", Her: "Are you lost?" However, sometimes I wonder if it's due in part to past bad experiences with men or something, usually these are the same types whose picker is off? which very well could be, but there' s just something rather tacky about posting about it online, yes? it’s a problem in dating the last 10 or so years. women have gotten financially successful with career success so they don’t need a man to take care of them. a result of this is a big relationship problrm—- because they don’t need a man, they now feel the only guy I’ll go with is mr 110% perfect match and thus pass over perfectly fine men who are 80%-95% match.

mortensorchid Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 It's partially about silliness and jokes, but it's also about frustration and wanting to be happy. Show me one person who is truly happy and has it all together - they don't exist. Or someone who gets all the things they want and they still aren't happy. Life's complicated, I acknowledge that completely. But one should stay as mysterious as possible on social media and not post things like that. 1

Over here... behind the cactus. I'm happy and content and I would say I have my act together. I don't want for anything that I can think of. I'm sure there are many people out there in a similar place. The only thing I really want is my dose of the vaccine for Covid-19, but I'll wait my turn for that. No worries. I think the key to happiness is staying off social media. It seems to have become a place to brag and show off.

I think this is a different thing. A woman who's happy being single and independent but may reconsider if Mr Perfect comes along is different to the type of woman who might share what QuietRiot wrote. The women who would share a post like that are fed up with men. Quite possibly just out of a divorce or tired of the dating games. 1
Wiseman2 Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 It may be a variation of this phrase. It seems similar to the manosphere type of gender grievances. "Dunn coined the famous catch phrase: "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle," which was subsequently popularised by Gloria Steinem .. Irina Dunn was the executive director of the New South Wales Writers' Centre from December 1992. She resigned in 2008."
Fletch Lives Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 A few more thoughts: - I don't care how successful a woman is - ask a woman who is in love with her husband or boyfriend if she needs him. - There is a saying - haters are gonna hate. - Two of my social worker women friends said, "Men and women need each other" 1
elaine567 Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 Unless you know the woman personally and she indeed seriously "doesn't need man" then nothing can be assumed from posting memes. Memes are just throw away comments and jokes that are only of relevance to the poster or her inner circle. The "I don't need a man" is a popular concept especially now since women no longer NEED men, women can now survive perfectly well on their own, but it doesn't mean many women don't want a man. Assuming from the outside she is a man hater or bitter and twisted may not be further from the truth. She may be hurt or she may be trying to make herself feel better after a bad relationship or trying to reach out to other "hurt" women or is participating an "in" joke with her friends.. Sarcasm is alive and well, not everything needs to be taken literally and at face value... Her motivation? Who knows? Who cares? If people post stuff on their pages that you do not like or do not agree with, then pass them by, do not get involved. They are unlikely to have posted that for your specific benefit and if you suspect that they did, then even more reason to stay away. The internet is fast moving, next week she may be posting a meme about how much she loves men or a man...

Generally they are the ones who like other women, and need to make a point out of it. A person's sexual orientation has nothing to do with hatred of the opposite sex. 2

This is very true but we aren't talking about that. We are talking about the kind of women who go on social media everyday talking about how much they think men are trash. That being said I respect them much more than I respect the ones who talk about toxic masculinity and patriarchy but swear up and down that they are not anti-male. I respect honest hatred to a certain extent.

Miss Spider Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) A lot of absolute statements. Must be nice ascertain so much black and white certainty about people, particularly from their offhand social media repost that they most likely happened to barely glance at in their feed while they were watching tv and talking to their friends and took 1 sec to click ‘share’.

But, like with a lot of hate speech, there are people who use their difference in life as justification in their actions. BUT... just like with anyone... there are people with "Differences" who are normal, and well adjusted, and believe in "Live and let live." I would love to expand on this... but it's a losing propitiation, and I don't want to come off as an A-hole. It's just an observation I've seen in my life.
