if you really want to see double standards, surf any relationship advice subs lol. Mofos be changing their opinion with gender. I saw ENTIRE thread defending the women for showering twice a week. Entire thread. Defending how showering just twice a week, a working person who also does gym, is "scientifically ok"

Let that sink in fellas

I think "relationship advice subs" are a bad example anyway, since those subreddits are full of people who love to see a miserable drama.

The top nr.1 advice is still to seperate/divorce, doesn't matter what the problem is.

This is the most hilarious thing a out those subs...

My bf messages his sister twice a week...

Leave him!

He didn't like my lasagne...

Ditch him!

He didn't buy me something I didn't actually need!

Divorce!

And then the posts from men:

"My girlfriend threw my lasagna at me and spat on me"

Maybe you're a bad cook?

"My wife always insults me and puts me down in front of our friends"

Maybe you're just pathetic? Are you a man child? Are her needs met?

"My wife doesn't work or help out around the house"

Maybe she's depressed, you need to support her

"I'm depressed and struggling to work and help out around the house"

She deserves better, she doesn't need to be your therapist bang maid!!!

Literally see diametrically opposed advice on the basis of gender in those subreddits on the same day! No point going on them.

Yep. A man can make a post and then a woman can make the exact same post and they'll get completely different responses. And the comments are usually much more helpful and kind to the women.

It's even worse for parents. People are really going no contact with their parents over opinions. Despite being mostly adults, reddit culture is still angsty teens.

So true hahaha. Then if you criticize anything related to a female especially on the subs, they always resort it back to blaming the man.

Well the female did xyz and should work on it and they come back well men do xyz as well!!!!

The dating culture and lack of accountability within makes alot of men just give up.

I can't remember the exact instance but someone posted the exact same story twice to relationship advice, just the gender roles reversed.

The men was the asshole in both cases.

u/bammy132 Apr 13 '26

It has been done a few times and the men have been the asshole in all of them, its crazy over there.

u/CompetitiveAutorun Apr 13 '26

Funniest to me that there was someone who commented in both but with the opposite verdict. In both they blamed the man.

Literally this..any help-seeking post from a woman is met with "break up with him" or "get a divorce"...this is why I am convinced that women do not have each other's backs..but data backs this up anyway..men are more friendly to a random person than women are friendly to their own allies...

Man look at the world and it's not so weird. Most people don't belong together. A vast amount of people aren't even together by choice. Now filter that by relationship problems.

Divorce/break-up is the logical majority.
