You know, as a girl with autism, I never liked it when other girls and women do the thing where they make fun of men. Sure, you can keep talking about sexism and “punching up”, but that’s not what I hear. Because I know what girls and women make fun of guys for doing. They make fun of them not talking about feelings. They make fun of them for missing social cues and not reading between lines. They make fun of them for talking too much about what interests them, as a result coming off as condescending. Well, I tend to do all of that because of my autism. I don’t readily show emotion or talk about it. I don’t always read between the lines and catch social cues. I have talked too much about my interests to the point where it may come off as condescending. (And as a side note, whenever I have been talked down to or felt condescended to, it was usually by a woman.) So when women and girls make fun of guys, I feel like collateral damage.
Bringing this back because I’m in That Mood again.
Woke girls: “Ask any guy about anything and he’ll start giving a TED talk lmao”
