I’m a gay dude so it doesn’t really effect and I typically try to stay in my own spaces or spaces where people have a little bit more nuance which have much more mixed sexualities (almost entirely queer). But as a man I get really frustrated when I try to not assume malice where none is clearly visible only to be met with what I can only call bioessentialist arguments. Essentially, because it’s a man being talked about and a woman telling the story “the people” are just automatically on her side, assume that the man is doing everything wrong and she should just leave him, and that she mustn’t be doing anything wrong here. Is this what straight relationship discourse is all the time? How in the world do people deal with this? submitted by /u/CreamofTazz
