The hurtful comments aren't what I have in mind when I say gynocentrism has wrecked me.Like a woman, who believes "Patriarchy wrecked me!!!", and refuses to get specific about what's bugging her. I'll let you in on a little secret, GM:
You mentioned that your mother said mean things to you as a child, and that they hurt. Sad as that is, this is something that many folks, men AND women alike went through. This isn't the result of empty fuzzwords like Patriarchy or Gynocentrism
I'm talking more about the 80/20 phenomenon @SW15 has mentioned on the forum. And as alarming as 80/20 is, some men say it's really closer to 90/10.
Society has allowed broads to set their standards unrealistically high. That's the specific thing that's bugging me.
