This pretty much makes every discussion on this forum pointless😆 So what if they are dating? Their life.. So what if they broke up? Their wish.. So what if they cheated? Their choice.. So what if their movie bombed? Their bank balance.. Pretty much every topic would end with this comment😆

Personally, I don't find it offensive either way, whether a woman doesn't need a man or a man doesn't need a woman. If either man or woman wants to be totally independent, that's their wish, nothing offensive about it as long as they are not actively hurting other people. So I don't find what PC said particularly wrong, just as I don't find it wrong when other celebs said the same thing.

That being said, just because a country is patriarchal doesn't mean women should start treating men the way men have treated women over the ages, or still do in some areas. Inequality and injustice are wrong. Period. In any day and age, people should be treated equally. Sadly, that doesn't happen and inequality exists in many forms all over the world, but that doesn't give oppressed people a right to treat others unjustly just to get even. They won't be solving anything or bringing any change to the world that way. They'll just be contributing to inequality.

I label myself as a feminist, and to me that means I will treat all genders totally equal. To me, man and woman are not different. That means I will hold both equally accountable for crimes, the same way I believe both deserve to be paid equally and deserve equal rights. I am not going to treat women as victims or weaker beings, because that is an insult to womanhood. Women are just as strong and capable as men, and that means they're just as capable of making mistakes and committing crimes as men, just as they're capable of succeeding in jobs and rising to higher positions. I totally despise men who they slap/abuse women, and I totally despise women who slap/abuse men, excepting cases of self defense of course.

So no, just because we live in a patriarchal world, that doesn't mean I'll excuse/defend/support women who treat men the same way some men treat women. There is no excuse to be cruel or unjust to another human being.
