Iāve noticed something with dating, DJing, hearing stories from friends of mine, and truly digging deep into history: Beyond anything, women prioritize their own SURVIVAL FIRST. I'm not saying this to be harsh. I'm saying it because it's true, and pretending otherwise will only continue hurting those who donāt understand them. Think about human history. For tens of thousands of years, women sought security. A man who could provide, a structure that would protect them and their children. That wasn't manipulation, that was survival. Additionally if you dig deep into world history, women manipulated kings and emperors who ruled their lands with an iron fist. This was even before they can vote or have career paths. Now fast forward to today: the state provides what men used to. From Welfare, child support, alimony, family courts overwhelmingly favor mothers. We live in a ālegal systemā that gives women lighter sentences for the same crimes. A culture that tells women they're "boss babes" while simultaneously offering them every safety net imaginable. And women take FULL advantage of this. Theyāre programmed/hard-wired to negotiate & manipulate any situation to benefit them. The problem isn't that women act in their self-interest. The problem is that we're told they don't. We're sold this myth that women are inherently more selfless, more nurturing, more loyal. But recorded data tells a different story (and yes Iāve used AI to translate some old Greek philosophers work to English.) In the modern day: - Women initiate the majority of divorces - Women are far more likely to get custody - Women face far less legal accountability than men None of this means women are bad. It means they're clever ā they play the hand they're dealt and quite well I must say. Meanwhile, men are still told to āBe the good manā and then act surprised when the system (and sometimes the woman) leaves them holding the bag. More of us dudes need to see the game clearly so we can protect ourselves the way women protect themselves. Especially now in the modern day, if you don't look out for yourself in this system, no one will. Donāt rely on anyone to truly come & save you as a man much less a boy.
