“It’s not all women" and what dudes are really describing 99.9% of the time are traumatized opportunistic women who remain oblivious & go above & beyond for predatory manipulative abusers while proactively punishing healthier men away from their life.
Healthy mothers raise emotionally healthy sons who naturally gravitate toward healthy women and avoid toxic ones without even trying at all, while traumatized sons repeatedly only gravitate toward traumatized women, then always say their “all women are bad.”
Life is too short as a man to date or even be friends with another deeply traumatized woman with imposter syndrome who expects you to overfunction at your absolute best, mistakes your consistency for weakness, relentlessly punishes you for it, and eventually villainizes you the moment you develop healthy boundaries.
Meanwhile, she will just run to another man to be completely oblivious as a heavily manipulative, underfunctioning predator, that she will go above and beyond to excuse, protect, and support his behaviors that she would have relentlessly condemned if you did 1/10th of his actions.
Only to realize years later that the women who repeatedly exploited you as friends or romantic partners were never random. They consistently mirrored the same psychological patterns as the relatives who raised you and your extended family, reinforcing the same dysfunctional blueprint so thoroughly that it became your baseline for "normal," making objective recognition nearly impossible when you needed it most.
