I generally agree with what you're saying, but in the spirit of this sub- "Stop dating and sleeping with women who haven't dealt with enough of their own internalized misogyny to be an active participant in a healthy relationship" sounds like you're blaming yourself. I think a healthier way to frame this for anyone reading this is "You deserve better." That's not giving you a pass to treat people poorly, it's a recognition of the basic level of respect people should have for one another in a relationship

I'm not blaming myself at all. I'm simply not able to change other people. Yes, I deserve better than that. That's why I choose to only be with people who are better than that. It's all the same statement.

Edit: I literally signed that comment off with "It's okay to expect better" so idk man.
