"Women are not rehabilitation centers for damaged men"
Dear woman reading this, do not EVER expend your emotional/physical/mental energy on redirecting a man from the path he has chosen to walk.
He has nothing to lose, but you, you will lose everything about yourself. https://twitter.com/afiqrudy/status/1060280483764822016
It is important to note while reading the ensuing comments, how the conversation from the men who disagree, isn't about the woman losing herself in the process, but rather about how much they deserve the emotional labour of being helped.
No one has yet to discuss the woman.
There is a silent agreement that of course, she will suffer a little bit, but be hopeful that in the end she will benefit from the labour of being present.
She will be the heroine in the end, her prize, the same man, but with less flaws.
Her own strength depleted, but who cares
The focus is the man who takes off his horns and is now fixed.
I want everyone to note how easily these men disregard the woman, and the impact on her mental, emotional and physical state.
All they are inflamed about is the intangible prospect of losing out.

We are living
In a society where women are constantly blamed for the choices they make. Constantly interrupted by men, while sharing our experiences with an assertion that the men we choose are terrible, so "don't lump us all in".
So what is the problem here, if my message tells women
To protect themselves from men with demons, regardless of how attractively they present?
Because the rewards of offering yourself as a salve will be a double edged sword. You will be harmed in the process and it may take years
To remember who you used to be, and it may as it often is, be futile.
Don't be swayed by the comments you read.
It is all a display of selfishness, again it has nothing to do with you, your hurt is in their opinion, a necessary evil to get them to a place of balance.
And without it being said, of course the message goes in reverse, but that is not the conversation we are having here.

For once you attention seeking men, it is not about you.
