Woman discovers boyfriend of five years thinks women shouldn't have the vote [View all]

A woman has revealed that her boyfriend of five years, a man who she was thinking of marrying, believes that women shouldn't get the vote, and people are shocked.

In a now-viral Reddit post, a woman said:

...he just admitted to me that over the past year he's grown more and more extreme in his views, to the point that he believes women have ruined the country (we are American) and that they should not be allowed to vote...

He says he did not feel comfortable telling me about this sooner because he thought he would lose me.

I'm upset and I can't tell if I'm wrong to be upset about this because I know that everyone is entitled to have their own views, but now I just feel as though he doesn't even value my own input/views.

He has assured me that he still thinks that I should be allowed to vote but that women in general should not..

Good grief. Young men thinking like this in the 21st Century demonstrates how toxic the patriarchy still is.



Oh and she needs to dump him post haste...
