ok well we obviously all know anyone can defend sexism firstly but I'll retract my comment then. secondly, not being able to connect with your exes is fine. not being able to connect with women (because they are women, i didnt read the rest but i assume he says something along the lines of "women could never understand me but you do" as ive seen it before) is not fine, its othering and shows that you do not view women as individuals. its that the whole "how do you talk to girls?!" thing that men have often been shown to say in media.
sorry didn't mean to include "the" in my last sentence. and i wasn't finished; of course all my assumptions could be wrong. but you can't deny that saying "women are a pain" when talking about relationships is a little demeaning and shows that you don't see your exes as individual people, you just see them as 'women'. i know these comments are really long, but this is a thread from 2 months ago anyway ┐(-。-;)┌

"women are a pain" goodbye
