Are fucking unacceptable. It doesn't stop people from using the term BernieBros all day long. And yes...that's an offensive term.


Let me relate some shit to you all to point out a major double standard here and in society:

Two years ago, my wife embarked on an affair with a wealthy man. I was monogamous for the entirety of our 12 year relationship. I adored her. Told her constantly. Worshipped the ground she walked on. Bragged about her constantly. But I unfortunately didn't have the money that this man had. I met him years ago and had a business that was very relevant to his occupation and wealth.

Welp...she ran off with him. He wanted discounts I couldn't give him through my business...so he started fucking my wife to get even more discounts.

So here's my point...when I relate this story to many women, the replies I tend to get are, "What did you do to fuck up the marriage?" or "some women are strong and independent.".

What? Fuck you. If I went out and cheated on my wife for financial gain...you know how society would treat me? No one would call me strong or independent or ask her what she did to fuck up the marriage.

It's a double standard. It is not right.

Earlier...I used the term "Misandrist" and was scoffed at by a female poster. Fuck you. You don't think it exists? Well I'm living the double standard everyday. People just automatically believe that if this happened to me...it must be my fault because I'm a man.

And that's just wrong.


In the end, as soon as divorce paperwork was filed, the wealthy man dumped my ex. She lives in her parents basement now way outside the city. She signed over our house in Denver to me on the belief she was going to live with this guy. Amazingly, I feel sad for her.

But that's whatever. Having to hear people ask me what I did to deserve this treatment?...Well...that's some double standard crap. It certainly takes two to fuck up a marriage. I'm an adult. I understand But when someone justifies my ex-spouses behavior simply because I'm the male component...well I'm here to tell you...misandry DOES indeed exist. Just like misogyny. It's not something you can poo poo away because you heard some Neanderthal use it as some point.
