Literally everywhere I go women are complaining (telling a story about what someone said or did).

This is very widespread and endemic. 

Complaining reinforces victimhood…and victimhood as an identity is very harmful to one’s psyche and self-worth and self-esteem. Believe me I know as I lived as a victim for many years.

Yes. Women have had centuries of abuse and mistreatment. This stuff is very real and long lasting. The only way out is to stop complaining.

Yes. If you have a problem, ask me if you want to share it with me.

Maybe I can help but telling me a story about what someone did or said is not helping either of us.

Men do complain too but not nearly as much as women do.

I’m also writing this post to help me remember to not complain…as it does’t help me.
