Men are men are men are men. There is no category of safe men.

I often see women engaging in this type of thing. It seems like bargaining to me. That if they can just find the right category of man they will find a good one for a relationship or be treated as a full human being.

Here are some of the categories of men women try to tell themselves might be better than others:

Older men

Younger men

Men of certain ethnicities

Gay men

Male family members

Men they've given birth to

Men they meet while volunteering

Men who don't identify as men

Widowers

Religious men

Men of a particular political persuasion

Men who have been in therapy

Men who have or don't have children

I'm sure I've missed a lot. The thing is all of these men have one thing in common:

THEY ARE MEN

And I will bet my last dollar they are going to show you exactly that at some point. They will always prioritize other men over women. I see this every day.
