The Love Series

from reddit.

johnny caustic asks:

Today you wrote something that really intrigued me: “Once I understood this was an idealization rather than a reality, and that women can and do love men deeply, but in an entirely different feminine-specific concept of love, I discovered that I no longer ‘hoped’ for that mutuality and embraced the hope that men and women could still genuinely love each other from their own perspectives of love without a mutual consensus.”

But when I followed your link “women love differently than men”, it brought me to a page that explains only the ways women can’t love men (e.g. the ways men love women and the ways men wish to be loved by women).

So now that we’ve established that “Women are incapable of loving men in a way that a man idealizes is possible, in a way he thinks she should be capable of”, can you describe the ways that you allege women CAN love men? In positive terms, i.e. not merely saying what it isn’t?

‘Cause I haven’t seen any evidence that “women can and do love men deeply.” None.

rollo replies:

I’ll see what I can do on the show, but you should really read the whole Love series. It’ll help you understand what a I mean:
