I don’t think men actually like women. They like the idea of us.

Not in a bitter way. Not in an ‘I hate all men’ way. But in a ‘I’ve spent 20+ years observing, listening, experiencing, and I don’t think a lot of men actually see us as real, complex people.’ They like women who make them feel good. Women who play the role they expect. But the second you have needs, flaws, anger, a bad day? The second you stop catering? The switch flips. Does anyone else feel this?
