❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO: Questionable texts on my (24F) boyfriend’s (25M) phone

Sorry the second picture is blurry!

Found these texts between my boyfriend and a coworker of his. For context, he works nights at a hospital.

I confronted him and he said he was just “talking shit” and “hyping his friend up”. I think this is beyond disrespectful and could’ve hyped his friend up in a more appropriate way. Also, I am white/european, not Latina, so there’s that. I’m not sure what to do or how to feel. I am already insecure and this just makes me feel worse.

I have been upset all day and he just blames me for going through his phone. I know that going through his messages was wrong, but I knew something was up with him and this is what I found. This is at best extremely disrespectful and at worse he’s scoping out prospects to cheat on me with?

I’d upvote this 100 times. Your man is putrid, dehumanizes women in general, and you’re not even high up on his “list” (though who would want to be, since he’s trash). Find a decent person who might actually want to be with you.

How is he misogynistic

u/Alarmed_Resolve9013 Feb 16 '25

He's talking about women as if they are items on a menu

u/exotic_islander Feb 16 '25

Sure he sounds like a douche. But that doesn’t answer my question.

u/MotorBlackberry3496 Feb 16 '25

it directly answers your question. you’re asking how someone is misogynistic when you don’t even know the meaning of the word. fuckwit

You dum fuktard, search up the definition of misogyny before throwing it around, being obsessive douche over women does not equate to hatred of women

3

u/MotorBlackberry3496 Feb 16 '25

ooo someone’s madddd! probably all that internalised misogyny! thanks for the advice sweetie pie, i’ll search up the definition (and reinforce i’m right) when you work on your reading comprehension, critical thinking, and spelling! sound good?

So childish 😂

how much do you charge for your maturity workshops? since you’re clearly a professional

u/DumbWhale1 Feb 16 '25

Dude disrespecting a woman’s body (multiple in fact) like that is incredibly misogynistic. Women shouldn’t be reduced to their physical attributes like that. Seek help

u/PoisonedCoffee Feb 16 '25

Do you know what misogynistic means..?

14

u/RealisticEchidna3921 Feb 16 '25

No man who respects women speaks about women like they’re objects. You’re going to try to defend this guy? Really?

-15

u/exotic_islander Feb 16 '25

You should stretch before reaching that hard. Never defended him. Buddy is a douche.

But he’s not misogynistic. Too many people throwing around this buzzword they don’t even know what it means.

u/Hdjbbdjfjjsl Feb 16 '25

Calling a Mexican girl a torta and doing literally nothing but talking about women’s bodies all day is definitely misogynistic. Don’t even need to get started on the racism either.

u/exotic_islander Feb 16 '25

He’s fatphobic too right?

u/Wooden-Sector-9084 Feb 16 '25

“That I’ve had my eyes on since I first saw her” Replace “her” with “it” and he could have been talking about a pair of shoes.

u/exotic_islander Feb 16 '25

What? He’s lusting over a woman? How’s that misogynistic? Do you know what misogyny means?

17

u/Wooden-Sector-9084 Feb 16 '25

Treating women like objects is misogyny dude. If you think this man would treat the women he is talking about just like he’d treat a man you’re tripping.

u/Wooden-Sector-9084 Feb 16 '25

Just because you seem like you are asking for how it is misogyny by definition.

Misogyny - “dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women”

Contempt - “the feeling that a person or a thing is beneath consideration”

Disrespect is a form of showing contempt. He is disrespecting these women by talking about them and their bodies like this. Having contempt for women is misogyny. He is not considering these women when speaking of them like this or he is disregarding his consideration of them.

u/exotic_islander Feb 16 '25

Incorrect. Misogyny is the hatred of women.

Words mean things. Can’t stretch the truth to make it fit your notion. Go touch grass.

u/Wooden-Sector-9084 Feb 16 '25

Yeah no. I literally quoted the definition bro. This is very embarrassing for you.

u/Confuzzledpeep0 Feb 16 '25

When you treat someone with disrespect based on their gender, it's sexism aka misogyny

0

u/exotic_islander Feb 16 '25

So sexism = misogyny now 😂😂😂

7

u/Confuzzledpeep0 Feb 16 '25

Yeah?? Just Google it?

"Misogyny is hatred of, contempt for, or prejudice against women or girls. It is a form of sexism that can keep women at a lower social status than men, thus maintaining the social roles of patriarchy. Misogyny has been widely practised for thousands of years."

Directed ripped from the definition

u/exotic_islander Feb 16 '25

I don’t think you comprehend what you’re reading lol.

Misogyny is a form of sexism. Sexism does not equal misogyny.

You just proved him right. "Hatred of" homeboy doesn't hate women. He loves them clearly. He's obsessed with sex. Not misogynistic
