I take your point, emotional instability is not confined to either sex. But the word "crazy" is used to discredit women in the workplace and that's what she's talking about here. Other code words applied mostly to smear women (not men) are "difficult" and "high-maintenance".

And I completely understand that. But how else are we supposed to describe those behaviors? Is every unflattering description going to be labeled a code word? Even when it is justified? I get the inequality - I can't think of any code words used to smear men. Jackass, maybe?

I’m confused as to why you are trolling this way? Your experience doesn’t invalidate her point anymore than her point invalidates your experience. There is a context to these things. Men have much more of a safety net in society atm in regards to credibility and such.

I agree - men *do* have much more of a safety net. And I think it sucks for *everyone*. But I'm not trolling. Tell me, if you were me and the situation was exactly reversed, and you came here talking about the same behaviors from your *male* exes that I did, do you honestly
