And how is implying your happiness is tied to a woman misogynistic?
2 comments

For sake of mental gymnastics I'll humor you. It's misogynistic because it's rooted in I presume in my culture that women generally don't sit and ponder problems, or resort to alcohol, drugs and crime as bad as men when things go bad. Women generally move on. So that belies a certain belief that women are the cause of all problems - And that is misogynistic.
The statement does not imply those assumptions, and even if it did, it would not be misogyny. The fact there is so much discussion about this is the 'issue' here and it's toxic.
It reduces women to instruments to serve men's happiness.
This is the logical fallacy prevalent in these types of 'this offends me' reactions. You have completely fabricated this takeaway.
A.) No it doesn't, not even a little bit. B.) He said he was happily married, he didn't say his happiness it tied to a woman, you're twisting words.
replace woman with kids. Happy parents are happy parents, unhappy parent is a philosopher parent.

doesnt sound like any -ism to me

No it doesn’t.
Great argument! Let me try.

Yes it does.

Did it do it right?

Parent didn’t provide an argument and the burden of proof is on them.
You can and should do better than them, not descend to their level. It's obvious to any reader that the parent was just making a bold assertion.
How do you prove that something is false if you weren't given a reason why it should be true in the first place?
