Careful with that narrative. I get your point, but plenty of males have been manipulated and treated as 'playthings' by females. I don't believe it to be a gender thing. More like a - there's lots of shitty people around. And whomever has some power, will be likely to exploit those that don't.

@Tom81 No, this is free speech land, and 8f I think it's true, I'll say it.

8f you study history, other cultures, you'll find statistically that women are 'arm candy', 'baby machines'. Step away from our culture, you'll see it, if you allow it.

I'm not talking anomalies here but generalities.
I'm amazed how women can be so stupid, trusting men, thinking her man 'loves' them. Men have learned to 'sweet talk' women seems always.

And it's up to you to insert 'some since I expect that level of intelligence.
This video is a good example of women manipulated by men.
Then, I think of Jeffrey Epstein and his cohort, Giselle.
But if the young girls got educated that men want sex from them, then discard them, some of these monsters would be stopped.

Put up the videos of women doing all this, or explain why you don't see them.
I expect any reader to know there's exceptions but that's what they are.
Kudos to Britney for going for it. Breaking those ties wouldn't have been easy.
Whitney Houston was another.
And, to give balance, I think Robin Williams was killed.
Killers are sometimes careful, wear gloves etc.

We're familiar with gold diggers, but statistically, fewer unless you can show differently.
I don't agree with your narrative 'shifty people' generalization.
I think it's male oppression of the weaker sex, like this video shows.

@2FollowHim like you said, it's definitely a cultural thing. Many places in Europe have a more equal approach to the sexes. Go to the middle East and the reality is different, same with Africa, Asia, Australia etc...
As for the arm candy thing - there's many women who get through life exploiting that and being manipulative to the point of being down right evil. I've seen plenty of shifty people exploit and use the opposite sex's good traits for their own purposes.
Not all men just want sex from women, and not all women are just gold diggers, hence the - shifty people on both sides, and good people on both sides. If the people you socialise with display the qualities you talk about, maybe it's time to find another group to socialise with .
Yes, you might have free speech so I'm not trying to censor you. We're all entitled to our own opinions. But I reject the whole gendered marxist idea of all men being oppressors and all women being oppressed. It's just a gendered version of the BLM narrative.
