Your highlighting the sexism, while calling it a good thing

The point of venting is not to hedge and hem and haw about making sure you are taking personal responsibility for your own problems

And it’s something women are never expected to do when being vulnerable, but men are

That’s exactly the sexist problem

When women are vulnerable with each other, they offer support so that the venter understands at a root physiological level that they aren’t alone and that even if they can solve the problem themselves, they don’t necessarily have to.

You are suggesting men keep doing the exact opposite from fucking get go.

Men (especially according to you) have to preface their expressions of vulnerability with “this is my problem, not yours, this does not burden you in any way, I promise” and then they might get a sympathetic ear.

You’re proudly exemplifying the exact sexist problem.


So of course it will be received better, you’ve removed all the effort of being someone’s support before you started, what is there for her to complain about in your vulnerability, you were never vulnerable in the first place!
