What did they say that made them sound bitter?
Is it perhaps some view that those who complain about social relationship norms are generally those not in, but wishing to be in, such relationships?
There are definite gender imbalances in our society. Is someone
bitter when they point out that women make less or that men die
more at work? [...] I wouldn't call Clinton pointing out the wage
gap as her being bitter.
For a man, unless they are handsome, wealthy and well endowed (i.e.
perfect) then they are at the mercy of women
Myself and plenty of other men I know, who are far from this definition of "perfect," manage to have perfectly healthy relationships with women in which nobody is at anybody else's mercy.
Not really, considering that the gender wage gap often pointed out (the 70-something cents to the dollar) is not standardized for time worked, experience, career choice, or a number of other factors. I would say Clinton is wrong to bring up the 70-something cents to a dollar, but I wouldn't call her bitter.
>If that doesn't sound bitter to you, see a therapist.
Even if they meant actual perfection and weren't using hyperbole, that would still just make them wrong, not bitter.
If I were to say that the average worker's pay is at the mercy of their boss, that doesn't make me bitter, even when you consider it is often wrong (direct manager often has limited input on overall salary).
Oooooookay.
Sure. Maybe the guy is totally cool with his bleak, transactional view of male/female relationships.
Or maybe he's been hurt by past experiences that he views as unfair. Which is the literal definition of "bitter," by the way.
What did they say that made them sound bitter? I often see this response for points similar to the one GP made, so I was wondering what about it makes one seem bitter?
