Men Have Such A Need To Be "logical" At All Times. Like "of Course She's Not The Most Beautiful Woman

Men have such a need to be "logical" at all times. Like "of course she's not the most beautiful woman in the world, there's always going to be someone more beautiful" how much a of a dick do you have to be in order to feel Special because you're so ~logical~. Same thing with men constantly feeling like they've got to be devil's advocates.

Yeah it’s very much a gross unnecessary way for men to talk about how the women in their lives are less conventionally attractive (and to them therefore less valuable) than whatever more conventionally attractive woman who is willing to take their place. I feel like a lot of men are in relationships with women they feel they can or at least want to “do better than.” So they’re just constantly half assing what they give the women they’re in relationships with while waiting for the next “better” woman to come along. also like I’m gonna be honest beauty is fake. There’s no one woman everyone in the world could agree on being the most beautiful. The singular most beautiful woman doesn’t exist. Once you break down racist, classist, misogynistic, etc. ideas about what beauty entails you’re left with a very different understanding of what defines a woman’s beauty and worth. Idk like I just can’t imagine thinking the woman you’re supposedly in love with isn’t fantastically beautiful. Absolutely cannot and will never relate!

rape convictions should be life without parole. 1) their victims will never be safe if they are let out onto the streets again. 2) many rapists are serial rapists. 3) killing another person can happen in the heat of the moment by accident, with excess use of force while not intending to kill, in a situation of mutual aggression, or in self-defense or defense of others. but rape is unambiguously malicious and intentional–always committed in cold blood and never by accident. if you think anyone can be ‘provoked’ into rape, your humanity needs to be reevaluated.
