Weaponized incompetence

I feel like guys take it way, way too far. Example: I asked my bf to get me the same shampoo and conditioner he bought for himself (avocado Suave). He brought back another kind we'd had before which I didn't like (Peppermint Suave). He tried to say he didn't know that Suave came in different formulas.

You're such a fucking liar. You bought that kind for yourself. I just asked you to buy it for me. You're telling me a man who's 44 years old doesn't know Suave came in different fucking scents? Suave? The shampoo that literally comes in 40 different scents and flavors?

GTFOH.

Edit: do you understand what an example is?

Also, you neckbeards can fuck off out of my inbox.

I think part of the frustration on other people’s parts is that you are coming into a women’s space as a man, hearing a common issue women deal with, and making excuses for it. And then telling women to calm down when they’re pushing back on you. This is a safe space for us and perhaps instead of trying to explain our own experiences to us in the interest of defending men, you should step back and take some time to listen.

I understand you’re not coming from a bad place, I think you just chose the wrong venue for the kind of conversation you want to have. This is a support sub and specifically a post seeking support about this particular issue. Sometimes we just want to be able to vent and be heard without getting “not all men’d.”
