This is incredibly specific and I've never encountered the women-hating-men-sleeping phenomenon before.

Do you sleep walk or something? How did you manage to upset them so much while nominally being unconscious? Your post has puzzled me.

If I tried to sleep longer than my ex-wife, she would "clean" very loudly in the bedroom until I got up. Conversely if I didn't want to go to bed the same time she did, she got super butthurt.

Yeah ok that is mental. I can see why she is an ex.

Edit: Just realised you aren't the OP commenter... is this really a common thing? The internet is eye-opening

Some people are insane and unfortunately it's a little too common to allow them to stay in your life.

In Norway I've heard a lot of threats of buckets of cold water to wake up a "syvsover". In not sure if I was threatened with it or subjected to it once, I'm 30 and my childhood is a little hazy.

Holy shit, people are nuts. I didn't realise it was tied into toxic gender roles like that when I saw OP's comment at first. It seems like these people are stuck in unhappy marriages/long term relationships and their partners want to hurt them in a societally acceptable way.

Edit: The youtuber is definitely pandering to a specific niche I suppose. I think other women would call her a "pick-me". Not that it invalidates what she says but seemed noteable.

"pick-me" is just the way shitty women describe women who don't hate men

[–] Hupf@feddit.org 5 points 3 weeks ago

It's really just ad hominem.

[–] steeznson@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah mostly agree with that
