The concept of being a simp

The following was a rejected Reddit post of mine:

Dictionary.com defines Simp as a “slang insult for men who are seen as too attentive and submissive to women, especially out of a failed hope of winning some entitled sexual attention or activity from them.” I have also heard this term used in terms of men doing nice for women who really just are nice guys who would do anything for anyone. We can say we don’t care if we are judged, but reality can contradict this.  Nobody wants the feeling of being taken advantage of. Also, it isn’t an attractive quality to be a “yes’ person to another’s regular demands.  I wonder if this derogatory term prevents men from being chivalrous? 

This episode is the beginning of my exploring the concept of patriarchy that is all around. Oftentimes, we don’t even realize it is there and have a difficult time admitting we are products of a societal system that isn’t healthy for any of us.
