The idea of being excluded is so hostile to our psychology, that humans invented the concept of “exile” as a punishment to ward off certain behavior. So learning that one’s family is regularly having events that specifically don’t include you can be frustrating.
A man asked the internet if he was wrong to ask his all female family to stop having “girls days” because it meant he was excluded from birthdays and even family trips. However, when confronted, his family seeingly refused to see his side. Later, he shared a sizable update about the fallout of him making this post.
Most people are smart enough to not object to “girls days”
