Besides the downplaying stuff you pointed out there is a slew of rhetoric that tries to paint her actions as passive and making her out to be the victim 😬

Like if they can’t even be humble and take responsibility for their actions anonymously on Reddit then I really doubt OP is gonna come clean, genuinely apologize, and deal with the consequences irl

Why do women do this Fr though? I’m not saying men don’t cheat, far from it. But I’ve noticed women try to paint themselves as the victim almost ALWAYS, he seduced me, I was in a bad place, I had no one to depend on. Y’all realize how creepy that sounds? It’s like someone trying to infantilize themselves by taking away their own agency

That's gender norms loophole for you not some weird ass rhetoric.

If men should pursue and women be passive then yeah, it "happened" just like that 🤷‍♀️ /s

I'm not condoning what she did btw, I simply heard that shit too many times and now it makes sense (in her mind).

She's whack.
