never heard a woman excuse her female friend’s rudeness because she was on her period.
never heard a woman overlook another woman’s bad attitude because she was pregnant or dealing with postpartum struggles.
never seen a female boss allow an employee to mistreat customers because she was hormonal or in a bad mood.
Yet when it comes to men, we’re often expected to tolerate, absorb, and understand these same behaviors without question.
Women rarely extend that same patience to each other, but they expect men to play the role of emotional punching bags.
This shows that much of it is deliberate. If someone can control their behavior with their friends, their boss, or their customers, then suddenly lose control only with you, it means they choose where to draw the line.
Yet they have the audacity to call a “man child “ emotionally unintelligent” men tolerate so much from women.
What opinion will get you in this position?
