Just ask them to name some ways that living in a patriarchy has benefited them and what are they doing about it. If they can't answer then walk away.

Bonus one I’ve learned is a dealbreaker: If you refuse to get involved in politics and find other interests besides Harry Potter despite dating a trans guy, you’re gone.

if you need to repeat a huge boundary to them because they don't take it seriously.

If you want a medal for doing basic adult tasks (laundry/dishes/cleaning). If you can't manage money. If you can't cook, not a five course meal, but if you can't follow a recipe or come up with one that's not slop, or whatever "boy kibble" is.

Crazy how some people will genuinely listen to this and be shocked. Bare minimum of standards for me too.

Most of these are totally fair, but some are really silly. Like movies and books, I don't choose my literature based on gender, and I don't choose my movies based on gender. I choose it based on my interests. to relax I read a lot of old science fiction, My list of books are not based on gender but what are considered the best books ever written. My movies are based on what are considered good movies not who directed them. I don't even know who directed the green book I just think it is a great movie as an example.

I expect myself to up and leave with the first sign of disrespect or disregard. Don't introduce me to a vibe you can't maintain, and if you are not oriented towards my wellbeing, why would I keep you around. 🤷♀️

I love how you brought up the behavior of only asking me how I’m doing. That has become a recent trend I’ve actually started to notice, and I am so proud of myself for enforcing it too- you’re gone!

Someone send this to my sister. We are not on talking terms because I called out her abusive boyfriend.

This is work that is hard and will not end, and you are certainly talking about valid boundaries, but honestly you are still literally actively centering THEM if this is what you're up to. Because yes, all of these boundaries are important, but please also just stop focusing on them this much! Lock in with your female friendships, not male friends and especially not dating. Even with businesses, yours or others, pick those where you see women! Stand with women. Stop making your life about how to navigate around men, because they are not a necessity.
