Uhm... so ... my ex?boyfriend that I still live with until he graduates in October (and hopefully goes on to find a job soon so he can move out) is starting to blackpill himself with questionable relationship and men's issues content on yt

and also refuses to sit down and talk about my problems with the kinda content he watches

This worries me.

#I'm not entirely sure how to think about this #he started binging this swiss yt channel about men and their hardships with modern dating #which at first glance i didnt think twice about because sure why not #let this swiss woman with an amazingly soothing voice shine a light on mens issues #sounds good to me they deserve to have their voices heard too #but then i watched one of her videos about mismatched expectations between men and women #and boy #some good opinions here and there #but just as many red flags #like underexplained graphics #very little nuance in some of her takes #loads of generalizations #to me it kinda sounded like bending the data to fit ur thesis #so i told him all the things that worry me about how she uses statistics #and as someone who works data i expected this guy to be a bit more understanding of my issues with her content #but instead i only got a very brash 'ok fine very observant arent we'#as he put his headphones back on to continue watching another one of her videos #then #five minutes later #after nothing but silrnce he just randomly blurts out 'because women are dumb' in a self assured #almost annoyed tone of voice #i was like wtf #and i guess then he realized that i heard #and i was like 'dude imagine me sitting here hearing not a peep from u for a while until u blurt out because women are dumb??'#like what even are u watching that makes u say that #like i get indulging in content that confirms your views and biases once in a while when ur feeling down #but nothing has ever made me say something this blatently immature and hateful about another group #especially if that other group is the entire opposite sex like my guy are u okay????#i wish we could watch these videos together so we can hear each others opinions on her takes in real time and have a proper conversation #but i don't think he'd wanna do that atm & also there's a reason i don't want to be w/ him anymore and this exact attitude is part of it
