Below is a list of the qualities of the majority of men I meet. I feel like I'll be lucky if I manage to find a guy with only half of these traits. Sad right? Sad but true. My fellow women, I think it's time for a revolution.
- Facebook messages at 2 am from drunk horny guys every night. Guys with girlfriends who ask you for pics. Guys who think facebook is a dating site.
- Guys who only text late at night. Guys who don't care about personality because all they see is ass. Guys who don't know how to love. Guys who think being utterly unromantic will make you want sex with them?
- Guys who text "i miss you" even though you met them only 3 times over the course of a year. Guys who say you're "the one" even though you only met them once.
- Guys who rape. Guys who hear you say no, and do it anyway. Guys who see you pull your wrist out of their grip, and tighten their grip because they don't care how you feel.
- Coke addicts. Alcoholics. Guys who sell their bike to buy drugs. Guys who ask to borrow $200.
- Guys who interrupt every time you start to speak. Guys who don't listen. Guys who don't remember anything you say.
- Guys who try to sell you drugs. Guys who offer you drugs. Guys who try to get you drunk. Guys who drug you without your consent when they could have simply asked you for sex?
- Insecure guys with fragile egos that need constant reassurance.
- Guys who lie. Guys who cheat instead of having an honest dialogue about the possibility of an open relationship.
- Guys who think feminism is a bad word. Guys who think witches have nothing better to do with our time than to hex boys. Guys who would have you burned at the stake if we were born in another era.
- Guys who use their fame/authority/money/power to rape/molest/abuse/degrade women.
- Possessive guys. Guys who don't trust. Guys who blame you for whatever their exes "did to them." Guys who don't take personal responsibility for their actions.
- Guys who lack empathy for the experiences or feelings of others.
- Guys who think they're always right. Macho guys.
- Guys who care more about what their bros will say than caring about the woman they're with. Closeted gay guys using women to appear straight. Immature guys.
- Guys who won't defend you to their mother/friends/etc.
- Selfish guys. Guys who expect and demand things from you that they themselves never give you.
- Guys who abandon you after sex. Guys who abandon you if you don't have sex. Guys who abandon you only when you need help. Guys who abandon you for having feelings. Guys who disappear at night.
- Guys who don't communicate. Guys who expect you to be a mind-reader. Guys who get angry if you aren't psychic. Guys who give you the silent treatment for hours/days/weeks at a time instead of problem solving.
- Guys with anger issues. Guys with road rage. Guys who get angry if you look at them wrong. Aggressive drunks. Guys who break your bones. Guys who throw you on the floor. Guys who throw things. Guys who jump out of moving vehicles. Guys with a flair for drama. Guys who try to intimidate you out of voicing any opinion that differs from theirs.
- Guys who cat call. Guys who get angry if you ignore them or say no. Guys who continue to text you even though you consistently ignore them or say no. Guys with zero intuition.
- Guys who think they have a right to say what women should wear, think, feel, say, eat, or do.
- Guys who use words like slut, bitch, whore, or cunt, to describe women they disagree with.
- Guys who are so accustomed to enjoying more rights, higher pay, and greater freedoms and societal privileges, yet feel personally attacked when feminism suggests inequalities exist, instead of desiring to protect or defend the women in their lives.
- Guys who mansplain. Guys who believe they are inherently more rational than women. Guys who think women are too emotional, but get into fist fights and wars and murder people in fits of emotional rage.
- Guys who argue that your experiences are somehow less legitimate than theirs, because they have never experienced being a victim of rape or abuse.
- Guys who didn't realize women have 3 holes. Guys who literally know nothing about vaginas, and haven't bothered to do any research or ask questions. Guys who don't care if you cum or not.
- Guys not understanding what we're upset about, after enduring all of these things on a daily basis our entire lives.
- Possibly good guys who don't even try because they are too insecure to express interest. Who knows if they even exist, because they never talk to me!
