Theyve been lied to, cheated, manipulated, and guilt-tripped.

Ive been there, too.

Sure, it was arough yearfor a lot of males out there, but the misogyny isnt over.

However, we can resist it.

Since he bought you something, he thinks he has a right to your body.

You dont knowwhatto do.

Whatever the case, you dont owe him anything.

Wow, youre conceited, or geez, I wasnt asking you on a date anyway.

Theres nothing more chilling than a bruised male ego.

Its important to remember to take words with a grain of salt.

His actions werent lining up with his words, and she was confused.

Their words become so meaningless.

Love bombingseems to be the new ghosting, but this old manipulation trick has been around for years.

A guy recently tried doing it to me.

After one date, three days, and a lot of compliments, I was suddenly his sunshine.

Sure, we had fun on the date, but we really didnt know each other.

Two days later, I caught him in a lie.Of courseit was my fault!

Immediately getting defensive and going from sweet to angry, this was a great example of textbooknarcissistbehavior.

If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

I know theyre just as disgusted with the normalization of a fascist society.

Its unfortunate that the poor behavior of some ruins it for others.

You have every right to do exactly what you want to do without feeling uncomfortable or objectified.

I hope 2018 will be a year of self-compassion, clarity, and confidence.

Remember: youre worth it.
