Christ on a cracker! You boys are so much work. You will talk yourselves into all sorts of nonsense and think way too binary about EVERYTHING.

There have been plenty of women who will not "date down" as you put it. There have been plenty more anxious to escape the trap of patriarchy and chart their own courses through life who have then forged amazing partnerships with men who don't try to "keep them on their place".

If you saw women as the energetic, passionate, adventurous individuals they are you would know this.

Get out there and look around. Actually see for a change. Stop reading rubbishy manosphere BS. Definitely stop repeating it.
