    … is this not supposed to be self introspection about how her implied women (anyone really) feel like they need to work harder or have clear tangible adult gold stickers to not hate themselves?

    This feels like a stretch for a sub that’s supposed to try to blast crazy people.

      Yeah, but publically sharing her husband’s “lack of accomplishments” is a tone deaf way of making her point. Some things are better saved for your therapist…

        If you read the whole thing your realize that it’s herself she’s criticizing and she’s implying that her husband has a healthier relationship with outside validation than her.

          I made my comment having read and understood the whole thing. Several things can be true at the same time: she put her husband on blast, she’s transparent about having an issue, and finally, she’s relegating her LinkedIn connections to a therapist role. This is not hard to understand.

              Haha le epic reddit cringo 💯

              Edit: Cringe snark aside: your reddit-esque approach to calling out a fallacy and thinking it is the end-all be-all of an argument is pathetic.

              You mentioned “implied only by you”. Again, this post (and it’s “updoots”) would not exist if other people did not share that position. Think for about 5 seconds, why would someone upvote this post if they didn’t agree with it?

              Your original comment is a response to others sharing that position. It would not exist otherwise. If you somehow don’t understand that in the 7 or so days that this post has been up, you will likely never understand it.

              Either way, I have no interest in talking to you so just get blocked.

      That’s how I read it too. She specifically wonders why she can’t be content without those things.

        She might’ve intentionally written it with a “had us in the first half” hook, but she’s clearly not putting him on blast and is instead asking why she can’t be more like him (my hot take from reading this one post: it’s a mix of her own personality and feeling the need to have accomplishments to combat both imposter syndrome from changing careers and the misogyny exemplified in so many of these comments). Reading comprehension is lacking for a lot of commenters on this post.
