I can't believe me. I let myself get drawn into an online argument with my cousin. Turns out he's one of 3 definite women hating men in my family. They think all women are inherently wrong, are solely to blame for problematic kids, and should bow down to men! It hurts that my peers are thinking as backwards as the elder men in my family. He made a mean-spirited post about mothers being the cause of gay men. I tried to talk some sense into him, so did his sister, but he double-downed on his stance. It only got personal as he said the women in out family were non-Christians and did nothing but negative stuff. Like, reach much? But what did I even expect after he posted something idiotic like that?! I was fooling myself that I could even reach through his hard head. I pointed out that the women in our family mostly raised the kids in our family, not the men. But he ignored anything positive I had to say about women and continued to bash women in general. I had to stop, unfollow, and mute him. Though his post gained over 700 reactions and many people who disagree, he still refused to consider others' opinions, even comparing his post to Jesus preaching and being rejected by the masses. Like seriously?! I was so done. I apologized for arguing in circles with him and sent him love and prayers.
After that, I prayed never to get in such a wasteful and unproductive argument again. He was still messaging me so I'm glad I muted him. Enough is enough.
