"Behind every great man is an even greater woman".
It's no lie that dudes dump their shit on women more than they should.
is it dumping or is it team work ?
Is women complaining about men showing their emotional side and showing their vulnerabilities part of the problem
do women want strong men, and let's define what strong means
do women get to define who men should be
Everything I just wrote is about intimate relationships, about a partnership
if people are just casual friends then it's a boundary issue
That's a good question and I suppose the answer would vary.
Imo in an ideal world there should be equal give and take (in terms of dumping shit and being receptive as in listening to it) but I'm uncertain as to whether that world exists.
It might be that people's needs are different at different times, they might dump at different times, but over time it equals out.
I think it's more complicated than one or the other.
