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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Demonstrates their point by raging-out unintelligibly. Never mentions gender. Commenters say its about hating women. Sure.
Emotional Intelligence at a singular level amounts to taking the appropriate time to compose oneself, but at the same time, just because one shows emotion doesn't mean they don't have a point.
I agree OP was likely rejected by someone, but I've seen gay men and lesbians use these phrases to try to manipulate their SO or counteract their SO's bullshit, more often the "calm" one overtly attempting manipulation and gaslighting. People have this delusion/conceit, that so long as they haven't been forced to say what they really think or feel, they are in-control, when in reality they are no more in-control of themselves than anyone-else.
Bringing gender or "misogyny" into it is laughably besides-the-point to me. I saw a meme page try to say the 90%-of-prisoners-are-men statistic means its men who are overly-emotional, like the people who say women are too emotional have a point re:emotions, and only got the "women" part wrong. My fellow bitches, the "calm" ones are not on your side.
We need that chart that shows gay LTRs have the lowest divorce rate, and lesbians the highest, with heteros slightly less than lesbians.
Not here, not now. That's another thread.
