Just got out of being burned by a woman pretty fucking hard. Terrible situation. It could honestly be used as a case-study in any PUA/MRA outlook on the world, which made it especially shitty. Since that happened I've taken to writing cheap worldweary potshots at people who seem to espouse that worldview as a way of feeling "above" it, because the alternative, which I came really close to accepting, was pretty much just the outlook of any sexually frustrated adolescent. I've found that opinions like that are absolutely perfidious because they seem to be rooted in reality, but if you take them on yourself you only become more and more laughable and bitter. Not really sure what I'm trying to say here, but everything I've experienced tells me that gender-essentialism just drags you lower down.
