People Are Sharing How Men “Weaponize” Food Against Women, And The Stories Are Absolutely Wild

“People try to make it seem like ‘it’s just food,’ but food is symbolic. It shows whose needs matter. Whose comfort gets prioritized. Who gets to have boundaries and who doesn’t. When you grow up seeing men get the biggest plate, the first plate, or all the leftovers, it conditions you to believe their hunger, their wants, and their comfort are more important. And that shows up later in relationships,” the Professor Bae told BuzzFeed.

“The video opened the door for people to talk honestly about that dynamic, not out of blame, but out of awareness. I hope it encourages more women to trust themselves, honor their boundaries, and not minimize the things that actually tell the truth about how someone values them.”
