      I’m not defending anyone. This story being made up is entirely possible. What I’m bothered by, and what i don’t want to let slide is the fact that people just assume malice from a person simply because they made a post on a certain website and not the on the other one around. It’s a scary tendency that, if extrapolated, makes internet into a place full of tribalism and hostility.

      Also, you gotta explain to me, how the post is an example of toxic masculinity, and exactly what archetype do i defend from your point of view.

          when you put it like this, it does sound fucked up. In the context of the post tho, percieved it more like the anon is telling that she’s so uninterested in him that during all the time they known each other, she found a dozen of other sexual / romantic partners, without ever considering him as one, despite knowing he was into her, conciously manupulating him into staying, to keep him as a last resort.

          Surely, it wasn’t put in words form in the nicest way possible, and if your interpretation is correct, he’s far from a decent human being, but i can’t say i have a much better impression about the girl in question either.
