When my girlfriends whine to me about how mean their boyfriends are, and all the things they wish could be different, I tell them: "Why are you telling ME this? Tell HIM that." I really do not understand why some of these girls get into crazy, emotionally damaging relationship after relationship.
Once, about five years ago, I was with a guy who threatened to kill himself if I didn't pay him more attention. That was the ONLY guy who's ever dared to try something like that with me, because in every relationship since, I've made it abundantly clear that I don't tolerate manipulation. If he respects me --and if he's dating me, he damn well better respect me --he's not going to treat me like I'm weak-minded and pliant, like I can be manipulated.
I hate, hate, hate the Madonna/whore thing: the idea that sex determines a woman's morality. If she's a virgin, she must be a good person, right?! Wrong. It especially bugs when a girl is called a slut because of her clothes--if she's wearing a short skirt, she's a fashion victim, not a skank. I'm mixed, racially, so I'm very into the third wave of feminism. I'm blunt, I get my point across, and I don't take any shit--but if any of my friends, male or female, ever need me, I'm there for them in a heartbeat.
