    This is bait but emotional intelligence is understanding your emotions, not the emotions having intelligence

    “You can’t be emotional and intelligent at the same time” is a misogynistic dogwhistle, anon thinks women are less intelligent than men, and I suspect the whole rant is informed by anons misogyny

        It’s not bigoted to recognize the type of language and stereotypes that are used against marginalized people. If you’re a woman, you’ve almost certainly been called “too emotional” or “on her period” before as a means to dismiss you by people like this who think that emotions and rationality are incompatible with each other.

        Jk Rowling doesn’t have the benefit of the doubt for that to work. Her works are dripping with status quo reinforcing shit and neither herself nor her characters are capable of growing past what they were born as.

    “Intelligence” isn’t about knowing a lot of stuff or even having experience. It’s about being able to use your knowledge and experience to solve problems. So, by that logic, emotional intelligence means a skill of solving problems pertaining to emotions.

    Demonstrates their point by raging-out unintelligibly. Never mentions gender. Commenters say its about hating women. Sure.

    Emotional Intelligence at a singular level amounts to taking the appropriate time to compose oneself, but at the same time, just because one shows emotion doesn’t mean they don’t have a point.

    I agree OP was likely rejected by someone, but I’ve seen gay men and lesbians use these phrases to try to manipulate their SO or counteract their SO’s bullshit, more often the “calm” one overtly attempting manipulation and gaslighting. People have this delusion/conceit, that so long as they haven’t been forced to say what they really think or feel, they are in-control, when in reality they are no more in-control of themselves than anyone-else.

    Bringing gender or “misogyny” into it is laughably besides-the-point to me. I saw a meme page try to say the 90%-of-prisoners-are-men statistic means its men who are overly-emotional, like the people who say women are too emotional have a point re:emotions, and only got the “women” part wrong. My fellow bitches, the “calm” ones are not on your side.

        If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

        This community is for jokes and laughs, stop taking it so seriously. Mayhap you should consume more fiber and less Takis so you may dislodge whatever is damming up your large colon and let the poo flow.

          Ahahaha what makes you think that I’m taking you or anything seriously here? Is it because I said touch grass? Do you know what trolling is?

          You need to relax and remove that buttplug. It seems it’s cutting blood flow to your brain.

            Jupp, I stopped using 4chan when I learned a sizable amount of the people using it actually believed what was in what I perceived as the shitposts. Prior to that it was for me an outlet for the dumbest ideas I could think of

              I heard that Epstein actually active tried influencing 4chan in a certain direction. I forget the details, but he was involved with that site and the culture and political views that was spread from there to the rest of the internet.

              Almost feels like tinfoil hat shit, but it’s supposedly there in some of the leaked files that Epstein had a lot to influence internet culture and politocal leanings early on. If true, then yikes.

                  Yeah it was /pol/ that Epstein supposedly helped start. Fuck man. If I find the source I stumbled on, I’ll share it, but it’s like weeks to months ago that I saw it and was like “huh, that’s fucked”, but I didn’t think to bookmark it at the time.
