This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

"I don't understand women."

Whenever someone has an issue with an SO, then extrapolates that to all women... that's a red flag to me that this guy has a lot more misogynistic views just outside the frame of view.

It is unfortunately common. Pretty much all of the guys I know IRL complain about their SOs with "Pft. Women, right?" And I'm sitting here like... No? Maybe that's just your SO? Or just your SO when they're with you?

The behavior of the wife in the OP would never be exhibited by a man, right? So calling it a "women" thing isn't inaccurate.

Your reply extrapolates OP to mean all women. Which is exactly like when a woman makes a claim about men and men in the comments reply "not all men!" You're doing that.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your point, but I could see a man doing what the wife in the greentext did. It wouldn't fit the stereotypes we have of dudes, but yeah I think it's possible.

Including the crying and ripping it up?

Really?

In that sequence?

Horseshit.

I mean... what about those actions is impossible for a guy to do?

[–] blockheadjt 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No one said it's impossible, but it wouldn't happen.

I said I think it's possible. You said "horseshit". Not sure what you mean other than it's impossible for a man to do that.

I'm not saying it's super likely or anything like that. But given this is pretty far off the path from my original comment, I'll just drop it here.

Best of luck out there.

You don't think a man has ever tried to use divorce as a threat to change his spouses behavior?

The whole sequence, not just that one part of it.
