- “As a single mother, I sometimes wonder whether the real problem is that my sons have no role models for the type of men I hope they become. But when I look around at the men I know, I’m not sure a male partner would fill that hole. Where are these men . . .”
Yes, she’s a single mother. How many of us would not have guessed that?
- “I was sure most parents grappled with raising sons in the midst of rape culture. The struggle I wrote about was universal, I thought . . .”
It is so far from universal that it never even crossed my mind. Of course, I have a mind, which puts me ahead of this man-hating feminist who even abuses her own sons.
- “I’m not overly interested in dating in the first place, but I’m starved for adult conversation so dating feels like a necessary evil.”
Quite a catch. Sadly, the men willing to date her probably deserve what they get.
“But what all of these men share in common, even my sons, is a relentless questioning and disbelief of the female experience . . . I’m through wasting my time on people who are more interested in ideas than feelings, and I’m through pretending these people, these men, are safe.”
It’s mutual. It looks like her son, and perhaps both sons, are through pretending that their mother is safe. I’m decades past pretending that feminists or any progressives are safe. As for ideas, it’s clear that she never deals with them. View and treat people as individuals, or I will see you as the enemy of all that is decent. Like her heroes (Obama, Hillary, Che, Karl Marx), this woman is the enemy of all that is good, decent, and wholesome.
I missed this quote the first time I read it.
So she is shocked that guys don't get women's feelings, at least hers? And wonders why “men” are the problem in her relationships? Has she no empathy for anyone that might be different?
Of course, all she knows about dating comes from Disney cartoons and chick flicks.
She should start collecting cats today.
"...As a single mother(Being a single mother isn't ALWAYS the issue, but what kind of single mother CAN be the issue), I sometimes wonder (you "sometimes wonder? Sometimes?)whether the real problem is that my sons have no role models for the type of men I hope they become (Gee...if you think all men are rapists except extremely feminized, pear-shaped, liberal 'men', what chance is that going to give those boys in life?). But when I look around at the men I know(I do think we see part of the problem here), I’m not sure a male partner would fill that hole(Umm...perhaps a different phrasing might be best here.). Where are these men (any REAL men are likely avoiding you like the plague)..."
I feel genuine sympathy for those boys. A pox on this woman, and every human being that thinks the way she does, which is nearly ALL leftists.
She’s an exemplar of the fact that aside from being widowed, single motherhood is more often than not the result of poor decision making and low character. Either she chose to procreate with a loser or drove a good man away.
Well said.
Dunno about Shapiro, but frankly, these kids have nowhere to go but up.
