| Yeah, I mostly agree, I also don't like homophobia. Your experiences with JW sound traumatizing. I suppose what I was arguing for was the roles thing may not be that bad. Not "taking initiative" can also be negative framing of not "*having* to take initiative", and that is someth... |

| “Like” might not be an accurate way to describe it. I know some traditional women from russian orthodox tradition who definitely like the roles imposed. They just have a different view, there's nothing bad about it. For her, she seems to see the man as bread-winner, and stable respectful companion ... |

| Agreed with the general sentiment of other commenters. Zionism is not really relevant, what you are talking about is capitalism, but also the US brand of Neo-liberalism which involves the atomization of society into a giant "marketplace" of individuals, where every social interaction is ab... |

| I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but women are the most likely to trigger a divorce and it hurts men a lot. Some religious women are more likely to take marriage seriously. Some of my male friends cited interest in pursuing these women for this reason, which actually I can understand... |

Yeah that's true.
He was asking questions about family assets.
I wouldn't pin him as that malicious, but I don't know who else he is affiliated with. |

| Honestly that time it was just meant to be a catch up, but he went crazy with these questions and sex stuff. I think he has a lot of his own problems, he is medicated. He said he uses fake photos on tinder, so I took that to also be a sign of willingness to use deception and people for his own ends.... |

Ah, onlyfans is like a site where you share sexually explicit images of yourself for money.
The other stuff is just about him being dismissive of things I told him,
and pressing me to go back to family that were abusive toward me. |

Also he asks so many super invasive questions.
He was so crazy. He seemed to want me to work for him on onlyfans.
I blocked him but it was so traumatizing.
But this experience made me feel terrible,
Why can't I persuade people to help me.
I am exhausted. |

This lead me down to several endless terrible relationships. I guess I don't want to chan... |

Yes I agree it is and would be hard.
I think some of us could manage to at least have some level of awareness
though. A few youtubers have talked about it.
With a list it would help people to check and they can get better,
and talk to others for advice. |

| I don't think ruthlessness is in itself a very attractive quality to anyone. However, men who use their rutheless streak to succeed inevitably become attractive. that I am afraid is the law of the land. Not law of the land, it's a law of a sick society built on centuries of normalised exploitation.... |
