Comparing works well enough when there are double standards and something is allowed for men, but not for women. If a men gets angry when you are late ten minutes but call you crazy when he is one hour late, then yes, comparisons works perfectly.
AS for the “ what men put up with from their romantic partners” I would say that you should be more specific about what things are. After all, while some men complain about normal things like cheating, others complain about not having his favourite dinner ready, despite having dinner ready by a women who work full time while he is unemployed. And there are some men who complain about having to “put up” with “disrespect” because he “told her not to wear make up/a skirt” and she decided to wear it anyway. We are people, not property. And I could go on.
But as a rule of tumb, if you think you are “puttin up” with your partner, maybe broke up.
Funny how all the “but men put up with a lot of things” appear when we point out things that doesn’t work in relationships and conclude that it is better to broke up. And usually, for men “putting up with women” means that women “should work more in the relationship”. Curious because it sound pretty much as “since you do things too, I shouldn’t apologize or change until you please me perfectly”. Sorry, but no. If men can treat women as equals, maybe is better to be single.
By the way, gashlingting might know no gender, but the explanation about how calling crazy women who get angry for being treated badly, is gendered. And quite specific. In fact, whenever a men start saying things like “I know this might make you angry but…” he knows that he has behabed badly and is trying to avoid consequences by framing it as “he didn’r meant to make you angry, so you shouldn’t”. Men aren’t stupid, they know when they are treating a woman badly or disrespecting her. They do understand perfectly that the normal reaction to certain things is anger. They just call women crazy because it works to avoid responsibility. Or at least it works until we realize the unfairness. And lets be clear, many times that leads to break up. Which I guess is why so many men complain in this articles. XD
