"Can think for herself".

Dude really wants to do the "Where do you want to go eat?" "I dunno, where do you want to go eat?" vicious cycle?

Having a penis conspicuously absent from this list.

Even this guy knows trans women are women. That battle has been lost and won.

Trans Inclusive Radical Misogyny, where trans women are inferior because they're women, not because they're trans.

I'm seriously on the fence with this one. A couple of points make it really difficult for it to not to be satire, but I've met guys who would unironically think of "can think for herself" as a malus - but they wouldn't admit it out loud. Now, can there be some kind of cave creature so pulled apart from civilized life that they would think this and post it?

I'm pretty sure this guy does want a woman who can think for herself. Otherwise he's gonna have to tell her how and when to clean the house, plan and cook meals, take care of their kids, and manage the household...etc. He's gunning for the Monkey's Paw version of a tradwife.

“Can think for herself” makes me thing they’re just trolling

You are underestimating christo-fascists and their desire for ultra traditional gender roles.

Yeah thats just too over the top

Thinking for herself is a requirement in the industrialized world, since adulting is a subset. Maybe there's a farm that raises gentle ladies-in-waiting with only domestic skills the way we train service dogs to help disabled people, but such women are not found in general society.

Also, not thinking for herself makes her unemployable in a society where all adults are required to earn a living (which often takes more than one full-time job). So this requirement implies the guy is rich enough to afford a family on one income.

In short, like the 1950s man, he's not looking for a date or a wife. He's looking for a household appliance. Kenmore will sort him out.

As for ~~the rest of us losers~~ working class guys, real women who think for them selves and can adult are an asset and a keeper. Heck, if they can think for us too, sometimes, that's a bonus.

He forgot to include "- Can recognize satire"

[–] aiden@lemm.ee 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yes people this is satire is obvious. Get off the Internet a bit

[–] Juno@beehaw.org 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I've met people who feel this way 100% I don't feel sure it's satire.

They will literally tell me they're "better than me, because I'm a woman. And men are just better than women"

^direct quote

Some guys and oddly some women are into it. I don't get it either but they exist

[–] yetAnotherUser@feddit.de 0 points 5 months ago

Why would a woman tell you she's better than herself though

The only thing that can take a ten to a one is not having a goblet made from a skull of one of her slain enemies!
