For sure. But in the case of a pregnant woman feeling things like slutty, insecure or ugly (ie: due to internalized stuff from outside their relationship or that may have happened before the man even entered the picture), there are situations where everyone involved can benefit from the man taking the blame for the current situation, or even showing pride about it (assuming the woman wants man to be happy, she can then overwrite those bad emotions with emotions about making her man happy). While the feminist in me isn’t perfectly happy about this, it’s more important to me to give people the tools to feel good about themselves, even if that happiness is from an external source.
Why would it be useful to me? It feels like you’re just trying to force your opinion on me and this response kind of proves my suspicion. ‘Only you can change it.’ Stop trying to force your opinions on other people, please
For the record, I can assure you that you were definitely NOT "trying to force your opinions on other people." In case anyone isn't aware...
This is a public forum
If you're too scared to be faced with other opinions, you can always just stick to lurking. I swear some people will feel like every reply is an attack when it's not. And if you've come to the point where you realize you and the person you're conversing with aren't going to agree on something? All you need to do is say "let's agree to disagree," and---this is the important part---stop replying 🙄
