You have no answer. To what I have to say.
You have no answer. To what I have to say.
You cannot consider me an equal, no matter what. You cannot stand seeing me rise, no matter what. You cannot control your actions against me, no matter what. You cannot care for my feeling, no matter what. You cannot think of me as human, no matter what.
Does that make us unequal? Yes.
You, less than me.
I had heard of it, the discrimination, seen it, but had never felt it. I did once when I was 15. And Today. Yesterday. The day before Yesterday. I experienced it. I felt so small.
You have not seen my face. You do not know my name. But, you are still desperate to have me. Because, to you, I am your slave. You want me to talk to you about everything that makes you what you are, and ironically so, a man.

7 cups seemed to be beautiful place. Me, helping people, walk through tough times, what a great idea. No doubt, it is.
BUT. You people. You creep. You unworthy free loaders. You want me to help you pass your time. You want to use me to fulfill your desires of talking to a woman, because apparently any real one out there would not.
Once every now and then, I come up to 7 cups with a smile and mission to help others. I have limited time and I try to make that useful. It is when I start talking to you, that I know, you are here to vent out, not your issues, but silent cries of your sexual loneliness.
We were talking, just fine. You were polite. I appreciated it. And you suddenly got the instincts of me being a woman… and the things under your pants wanted to talk about sexual issues, suddenly. You tone becomes condescending. You change.
Is it the lack of masculinity in me that makes you think I deserve to be treated that way? Well, if masculinity is in being strong, brave, upright and righteous… I am more a man than you will ever be.
I can block you. Report you. But that would not make any difference to you.
The world doesnt start at your feat. But your tone, your aggression, your unasked for contribution to toxic masculinity speaks as if it does.
I really wish that you meet a real and strong woman who is not there to dance on your lap. And I really hope you realize, you were born out of one.
STOP WASTING LISTENERS TIME, HERE ON 7 CUPS. DO NOT POLLUTE THE ENVIRONMENT. JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE ANONYMOUS, DOESNT MEAN YOU LOSE YOUR CONSCIENCE. IF NOT FOR WOMEN, CHANGE FOR YOURSELF. REAL MEN OUT THERE STRUGGLE PROVING THAT THEY ARE NOT YOU.
And I ask… Will this ever be enough to make a difference?

Hi CosmicCat! Is everything alright?
@7CupsCommunity
Hey! Thank you so much for the reply. The one most important reason I posted this was because I wanted the 7 cups community to know that there are people who are very much interested in wasting dedicated listeners' time.
I always am polite to whoever I talk to but most of them, sooner or later tell me that they have nothing to vent, no stress (which is a good thing) but are only here to pass the time(which is okay if the listener agrees)
Also, sometimes, male members want to talk to me about irrelevant sexual stuff.
I always politely refuse to 'free-talk' when I get the vibes of them trying to pass their time.
My main concern is that its not even been a week since I have joined and around 8 people have already tried talking aimlessly. It is not just the free talk that bothers me but the clingy vibes they give off.
This is no complaint. I just had a subtle experience here, of how condescendingly women are treated even now-a-days and I do not want that to happen at this place which is so positive.
This is my humble request to all the memebers. Please ask the listener if they are interested in 'free-talk' and before starting to discuss your sexual issues also, please ask if the listener is comfortable.
That would be all. Telling about listeners' grievances was my job (because a lot of listeners face this) and expressing my views to all the males carrying toxic masculinity in them: my service to myself and society.
Thanks again!
@CosmicCat17
Very well put! 
I applaud you for posting this! As a femaile member, there have been times where I've both seen and heard of male listeners trying to use their position as listeners to treat 7 Cups like it's an online dating app ... which clearly it is not, and shame on them if/when they're taking advantage of vulnerable members for this purpose.
