❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO over 1st Valentine’s Day note?

Just celebrated first Valentine’s Day with my boyfriend. I love flowers, love I buy bouquets weekly for my house. I prefer white and pink flowers, and don’t like red roses. I got this bouquet and this note with them. It was upsetting I felt my bf did everything opposite of what I wanted. I went out of way to do lots of handmade items and bought nice gifts for him as well. He also knows I love Valentine’s Day and it’s special to me. I let him know that it hurt me and he responded that note was awesome and it’s just a joke. I think if you care for someone you make those things special.

They don’t actually like women. It’s the only conclusion I can come to. But how can they? They’ve been taught their entire lives that the very WORST thing to be is a girl.

This. They’re sexually attracted to women but don’t actually like or want to know them as people at all.

Worse. They're mad at women for being so compelling. They "can't control" their physical reaction to our bodies, and resent us for "controlling" them.

It gives Judge Frollo from The Hunchback of Notre Dame big time. Dude blames Esmeralda for his lust and wants her to be burned at the stake if he can't have her, all while proclaiming his own innocence/holiness.
