my favorite part, is it’s never that the author of the meme is the one who just… picks shitty people. It’s always the fault of the entire gender, clearly.

I’ve met plenty of shitty women, men, and trans folks. and plenty of great ones. It’s almost as if being a shitty friend/partner has nothing to do with someone’s sex or gender, and it’s about their actions as an individual person. and frankly, if someone is shitty to you it’s your job to end the relationship, not to continue with it and expect them to be better than they have demonstrated themselves to be. whenever my exes did shitty things, it was over and I’m glad for that because now I don’t have a shitty partner that I married to and full of resentment and frustration that they refuse to take take on their fair share of adult responsibilities, who also resents me for not doing more for them while I was already doing 150%.

and almost like blaming the entire other gender is the point, because it absolves you of the responsibility of your own choices or worse, the blame of your unspoken expectations.
