Saw this tiktok of a fellow gen z girl in tiktok claim that "hating men" is also male centred. This annoyed me so much because feminism has always been silenced with jeers of being nothing but "man hating" and for "crazy ugly cat ladies who cannot get a man".

No babe, being mad and angry is what got women the right to vote, study, and work. Being angry about injustice is not the same as being male centred. It feels like projection and another way to silence criticism of misogyny. I am on tiktok often and I always see this argument used against criticism of men's misogynistic behaviors, along with the "not all men" and "men hating is bio essentialist".

Mind you when a serial killer rapes and murders primarly women or young girls they do not call him a female centred. He is simply called a serial killer. This applies for all rapists too and domestic abusers. No one calls them female centred. This feels like another argument used to derail the grievances and valid complaints women have regarding the patriarchy.

My sister (older sister in her 30s) has been dating online for a while now. She met this guy, who is so far, great. He shows interest in her and I have no complaints regarding him. Because he seems very sweet and decent compared to the last guy who ghosted her and treated her like shit.

She told me the guy was in the process of divorcing his wife, and that they have been separated for 9 months. They had an amicable separation and they have a 13 year old son. He says both the wife and son knows about my sister.

I have not told my sister that I am slightly worried about this, he seems a bit too good to be true, since I do want to support her.

Would you say that 9 months is too recent? How long, ideally, would be the appropriate time period to date divorced/separated men? I think 9 months is pretty long but they have been together for years.

I noticed that since most of my coworkers are older than me (in their 30s or 40s), I am one of the few younger employees (in their early to mid twenties), that I get tend to be put down or "negged" a lot. Like these coworkers will constantly bring up my age or how I am younger and that they cannot relate to "gen z". Which is annoying in my oponion. I find that younger people tend to not bring up age disparities in the workplace but older employees or coworkers will.

They always seem to imply that you know less, or that they are more mature simply because they are older.
