Forgiveness in relationships.

[Man of Ethics]

Below, we have an advice from a prominent Twitter feminist advising women to forgive other women.

Many psychology authors mention that women should not forgive men who have wronged them.

The question I would like to ask is whether men should forgive women who have wronged them. In my opinion, it depends on the circumstances. I would almost never bear so much grudge against anyone to decline real help and real benefit from them. If they needed my help and I needed nothing from them, then I would probably not forgive their
past wrongdoing.

Offering forgiveness, is what Christ asked us to do....

He didn't separate men from women....?

Forgiving our adversaries, or those who have wronged us, is emulating Christ.... Gender, matters not, imo

There can be no forgiveness without repentance…

When people discuss forgiveness it usually means that they want off the hook for whatever it is that they did wrong. It doesn't mean that they are sorry that they did something wrong. It doesn't mean that they will never do it again. Recognizing that you did the bad thing and then changing that behavior because you don't want to hurt the other person (or anyone else) leads to forgiveness.

There is this weird thing that people do when they expect the person that has been harmed to perform some action on behalf of the perpetrator so that the perpetrator can move beyond it. Fuck that.

I encountered someone the other day that needed me to confess some type of wrong doing in order for them to admit they acted inappropriately. Nope. This is not kindergarten.

To me, it is the forgetting that will not be in the card deck should the wrongdoing continue.

God bless you always!!!

Agree 100%.

Nevertheless, if I need help from a person who has wronged me I would probably not decline it.
