And I was dating a girl for a month and she mocked me for playing video games while she was on vacation and said video games are immature and the only reason I should ever play them was when I was spending time with my nephew.

Context matters, yes, but how often do we see posts painting men in a bad light with no context and everyone cheers it on?

Who the fuck is saying this is about women in general?

That happens constantly. Is this a joke? The difference is only you see it in MAN VS WOMAN. Everyone else is like, yeah, everyone can be a piece of shit. In this meme, it's a woman. It's also a biped. It's also a mammal. You are the one making the distinction mean something it doesn't. Because YOU see people as Women VS Men. That's on you. Nobody owes it to you to explain themselves when they want to express who they are and what they go through.

Man goes through bullshit with a woman- posts meme about it. That's a valid experience, he's not a victim, or are we trying to cast whoever tries to navigate this situation responsibly and maturely while not compromising his integrity as the bad guy? Victim blaming? You need to stop being so black and white about everything, you're complaining about people being like you- divisive and dismissive against a group of people in general. Take the beam out of your own eye first, buddy.
