Why “The Friend Zone” is Awful
By In my last post I touched briefly on use of the phrase “the friend zone.” Here’s where I hate the term:
Saying that women have put you in the friend zone implies that even a little non-sexytime time spent around women is tortuous. It implies that spending time around women, just talking to them or listening to them is time wasted. It implies that women are not women–not potentially interesting friends or colleagues, but sex robots who’ve granted or denied you permission to insert your girder.
If you use the term “friend zone,” you’re not deserving of a girlfriend. Because you clearly don’t like women very much.
