Some things I hate about women

>Slow, saunter everywhere
Try walking anywhere with your girlfriend. She will go slow even relative to how fucking short and weak she is. A man of the same height and build would walk much faster.

>Crying
Women cry about having a "bad day." Women cry in response to being asked why they are crying.

>Keto
Every woman is "on keto" and won't shut the fuck up about keto. Yet they are also stupid and cheat constantly so they are probably not even on keto most of the time but slingshotting back and forth between ketosis and carb crashing.

>Stupid
All women are stupid.

>Unambitious
Women are not ambitious. Don't ever talk to me again about "getting serious" when you're a 26 year old medical technician who has already reached the highest job title you can ever hope to hold in your industry within 3 years and you are constantly causing drama at the office so you won't even have it for long. We both know I'm going to be supporting you.

>No hobbies
Women think "thing you do often" is a hobby. I shit often. That's not a hobby. Women don't know how to have real interests in things.

>Read gay shit
Women only read gay shit like some flapper's poetry in a 120 page book with no point and no message. Or they read Harry Potter again and again and never see a problem with this (see no hobbies). Or they read something so thick and dense with saccharine modernist self-awareness that it's like that hyper-rich Greek almond cake that comes in triangular slices. Why don't you read a fucking normal book with normal events related by a reliable narrator for once? Does everything have to be filtered through the narcissism of a young hysterical woman or grungy self-pitying man? Do you care about any aspects of the human condition that aren't the immediate surface-level emotions of being "sad" or "happy?"

>Stupid pictures, objects
Women fill their apartments with stupid pointless pictures and objects. The pictures are not for contemplation. Why are your bookshelves covered in baubles? Why do you need a featureless sphere on a shelf? What does this picture of St. Louis mean to you? You have never been to St. Louis.

>Clothing, shoes on floor
Why would you take your shoes and clothing off and just drop it on the floor anywhere so your apartment is always a pigsty? Why would you "get dressed" to go for a 20 minute walk to the store at 11PM, put on and take off multiple articles of clothing that all look the same, and then drop the (clean) clothes on the floor in another room? Why is your apartment an obstacle course?

>Cat shit
Women love cats but refuse to clean up the cat's shit. A good woman will clean it up not often enough. A bad woman (most are bad) will clean it up so infrequently that it actually is cruel to the cat and you feel bad for it.

>Wearing clothing multiple times, skipping showers because you can get away with it
Do you want other people to know you do this? Then why do you want me to know it? That's gross.
