USA Today bestselling author of Regency/medieval Scottish/paranormal EROTIC historical romance. NZer, bi, dessertaholic, history geek. Should be writing, probably procrastinating. Pearl clutchers beware.
Goddamn this is creepy as hell.

No, life is not a porn film. No, she is not going to tip you with sex. No, it is not flattering that some weirdo came back to her house it is unprofessional and unethical and you should be fired.

Dudes like this HATE romance novels because they mostly demonstrate amazing consensual sex, healthy communication, partnership, agency, apologising, personal growth, villains losing.

These men LOVE women believing that shitty relationships are normal and to be expected.

💯 check the socials. What they post, like, comment is who they really are.

(And how they respond when confronted with this will also tell you a whole lot...)

"organised and institutionalised massacre of men"????

Oh, sure dude. That is what 0.05% of funding going to some aspect of women's health that benefits men will do. Yup.

Incels are such relentless idiots.

Yeah, isn't it interesting how she pays for all the consumables and he has the fixed asset.
November 27, 2025 at 1:59 AM
Also, him paying the mortgage and her paying utilities + maintenance + groceries + renos is a fair split?

Really?
November 27, 2025 at 1:55 AM
LOL at this dude bemoaning a loss of romance and sparkle while his asset would be the one increasing in value at her expense.

He really thinks she's an idiot and that is a MASSIVE red flag.

Lol yes, no way am I dressing up when my bum and thighs are getting squished by the metal armrests and my knees are under my chin because apparently leg room is not something anyone needs?
November 27, 2025 at 12:48 AM
Haha, it's like yes I'm depressed...cos my body is doing all these weird things and I feel like crap and it is stressing me out????
They so rarely want to address the root cause. Sigh. It's shocking that in 2025 it is STILL such a battle for women to get decent care for a KNOWN condition.

Oh, I had a few years of lots of body batshittery and not a single doc even said the word peri despite me being mid 40s. When I moved cities I ended up going to an A/H doc (a younger woman) and basically demanded it and luckily she said 'yep' and once you're in, other docs tend to just tick the box.
November 26, 2025 at 11:57 PM
Ha, oh boy am I right there with the weird relationship with food. My body can't decide day to bloody day if it will accept something or just nahhhhhh nope, how about a little hive outbreak or concrete gut for the audacity of eating something that's been fine all week.
November 26, 2025 at 11:36 PM
Yes, that sucks. For me it's the insomnia, massive anxiety spikes, relentless sinus congestion and acid reflux. You really do get a harsh, HARSH lesson on how many body systems estrogen supports (which of course isn't info provided ANYWHERE)
November 26, 2025 at 11:27 PM
Oh yeah, especially the dousing in perfume or aftershave to 'disguise' cigarette reek. BARF.
November 26, 2025 at 11:22 PM
Already on it! On the journey of finding out which level manages all my random symptoms best (edit to add it took a long while to find a doc who understood that there are signs other than hot flush or no cycle. Or that YES PERI IS A THING. JFC.)
November 26, 2025 at 11:18 PM
Give me a comfy, chill person in their jammies over a screeching dressed up Karen or asshole manspreader in a suit any day of the week.

Also it's hilarious that airlines want to talk about manners and class while treating passengers like dirt for an inflated price.
November 26, 2025 at 11:04 PM
Oh lol, I am an adult discovering all the truths of my ADHD brain (talk about fucking lightswitch moments) and also in peri so when I say wild ride, holy shit.
November 26, 2025 at 10:47 PM
This is legit a sociopath trying to cosplay compassionate righteous anger when he's actually thrilled to be back in front of the cameras.
November 26, 2025 at 10:05 PM
Oh, as an nd person, I have a particular loathing for those who zoom in to blame ADHD or autism or whatever for shithead behaviour. Like please fuck off.
November 26, 2025 at 9:02 PM
See, that's the point right there. Do they 'lose control' at work or the pub? Do they understand consent around other men? Do they need to be told every session to wipe equipment at the gym?

The relentless coddling of men's bad behaviour in het relationships is infuriating.
November 26, 2025 at 8:41 PM
It is a particular set of skills, to be sure!
November 26, 2025 at 8:25 PM
Yup, and then has the audacity at the end to try and make himself the victim, but not, we note, promise any kind of action to atone or improve.
November 26, 2025 at 7:17 PM
Oh, he absolutely doesn't give a shit. That last line was just some emotional manipulation to become the victim.
November 26, 2025 at 6:50 PM
Yup. Also the people who excuse/minimise this cruelty by saying it's just a communication issue or look, he fweeels baaaad! can also go straight to hell.
November 26, 2025 at 6:46 PM
I sincerely hope her shark lawyer destroys this pile of hot garbage.
November 26, 2025 at 6:38 PM
"Background in psychology" = JP is my hero.

"Women stop developing their minds" = women don't agree with me on anything. They won't debate me. They ignore me, even when I slide into their DMs and very nicely ask to see them naked for research purposes.
