    People are opining about the validity of the room set-up, but the type of sexist bullshit in the title is really harmful: *Women are too superficial, too spiteful, too attention- seeking to be supportive of a man taking pleasure in simple, pared down things. Women's lives revolve around men, so any women would have a strong opinion about how my room is. Women are incapable of experiencing contentment from having only what you need. *

    Like there is bitter divorce guy sexism, but this is worse. This is a young guy who could be exploring new kinds of emotional intimacy with romantic partners (or friends, sexual partners, etc) but has been taught to compulsively think of women as non-human entities, incapable of human joy and therfore wanting to prevent him from happiness as well.

    ○"(Of course his psyche is so obsessed with women he imagines how awful they would be during a purportedly solitary, happy moment lol)

      As a (gay) woman, I can't tell you how infrequently I consider men, like, at all. I interact with my male coworkers and that's about it.

        Same, I can't remember the last time I had a conscious thought about a man I wasn't interacting with or who wasn't in media I was actively consuming

      Idk this pales in comparison to the terrifying misogyny I've seen from fresh divorce guys in already misogynistic places.
