Whether we want to accept it or not, there are women who cannot fall for the antics of cunning and abusive men no matter how sleek these men appear and how much of smooth talkers they are.
These women exist. So telling women who say they can’t fall prey to cunning men is like saying all women have fish brain and don’t have the ability to detect bullshit and nip it in the bud immediately.
Afolashade Shallom Asha captured my thoughts well with this timely post. Read and be enlightened:
“I hate it when a woman says “that cannot happen to me” and then many women reply her with “oh this can happen to ANYONE, forget o some men have sweet mouth”.
What you’re doing is projecting your own reality on her and refusing to accept that there are women who simply cannot fall for the antics of cunning/abusive men.
What you’re doing is also refusing to accept responsibility. As women we have to take responsibility and not sit back and say “forget if a man wants to bobo me, he definitely will, let me just pray that men like that don’t see me”.
Stop it. Seek knowledge, read on these things, listen to the experiences of other women and learn from them.
These men are not as smart as you make them out to be, it’s just that women do not talk to each other enough.
When women start having honest conversations with one another without fear or shame, we will see that our stories are not so different.
These men say the same things and the mode of operation is the same as it was many years ago.
Stop telling women that they are not above being being in abusive relationships or getting in a love scam.
There’s a reason why these men are selective about their victims, it’s because they know not all women will fall for their antics.
There are certain qualities you have as a woman that makes these stay away from you, they may try to get close to you, they want to see if they can break you but when they get to know you, they back off.
They know you cannot be used and it’s not about being loud, assertive, having a repute for not tolerating nonsense or even being Feminist.
Just stop trying to argue with women who think they are above these things.”
Women, stop projecting your experience on other women. Your reality is not another woman’s reality. We are all different. We act and do things differently.
Not all women can be conned. Cunning men know the kind of women they can mess with. They pick their victims carefully and not all women will fall for their tricks.
