“People hate happy women.”


I cringed so hard I broke 3 ribs.

How could a simple victim complex from one segment of society get so out of control to where lines like this become actual dialogue in a feature film?

reply

Neither I, nor any man I can think of throughout my entire life, hates happy women. And I'm conservative, AKA "Literally Hitler!" That being said, I can think of quite a few women I've known who enjoy seeing men unhappy.

reply

They also enjoy seeing other women unhappy.

It is believed by many people that that statement is true.

Yeah, and those “many people” love living their lives as perpetual victims.

“People hate happy women” is such a hilarious and ridiculous generalization to gain sympathy, and is no way even close to true. People who actually believe that are so lost in the victim mentality that there is no way out.

Here’s a more accurate statement: “People are generally neutral in regards to the happiness of women they don’t know, but if questioned about it would probably wish them the best.”
