A man sparked outrage on X after saying he no longer finds his wife attractive because she gained weight, despite being “the prettiest woman” during their university days. He added that he is considering divorcing her and remarrying a 22-year-old who makes him feel young again. The post reignited debates around marriage, aging, body changes, and commitment.
Among the reactions was a comment that stereotyped men broadly: “A proof that men only care about themselves 😢😢😢.”
While the comment reflects anger and frustration at the man’s stance, it is also controversial because it generalizes all men based on one individual’s behavior. Such statements, though emotionally driven, risk replacing one problematic narrative with another by turning a personal failing into a blanket judgment about an entire gender.
