There are women who think men owe them emotional support? What does that look like?

[u/O_O--ohboy → u/yellowlinedpaper]

Lol right. emotional support isn't really something you can force someone to give like how sex can be forced.

[u/Noizylatino → u/O_O--ohboy]

Nah you can some parents do it to kids all the time by using them as therapists. That or the emotional incest you see with Boy Moms

[u/yellowlinedpaper → u/Noizylatino]

You’re right, so what does it look like with women expecting men to be emotional support and then blaming men for being selfish for not providing it?

Like I can imagine a woman saying to her partner I’m not having sec with you until you support me emotionally. But how does that look like if they’re not partnered up?

[u/O_O--ohboy → u/yellowlinedpaper]

Yes. Also in partnered relationships it's not the same as a child who is dependant on a parent. Ideally these are two adults who can leave a situation rather than a child who has no options. Kind of apples to oranges.
