The world of social media is never short of drama and controversy, and the recent tweet by Eric Conn has certainly added fuel to the fire. Eric Conn, a convicted felon best known for his role in orchestrating the largest Social Security fraud scheme in United States history, found himself at the center of a Twitter storm after sharing his rather controversial views on women and relationships.

The tweet that sparked the outrage reads: "Ladies, if you want to be remain lonely... Go to therapy. Build a career. Idealize your independence. Be selfish & demanding. If you want to find a quality man... Be eager to join a man's mission. Serve others. Be gentle & quiet of spirit. Glory in motherhood."

This tweet did not sit well with many Twitter users, who quickly pointed out the outdated and sexist nature of these statements. One user, @NikkiFurrer, who goes by the display name Lady Lawyer, responded with a scathing tweet: "Conservative men: I need a Mommy to feed me and wipe my t***ie and tell me I'm a big strong boy."

The backlash was immediate and widespread. Comments poured in, with users expressing their disbelief and criticism of Eric Conn’s views. One user commented, “Ladies, cover your drinks when Eric Conn is in the bar,” highlighting the distrust and unease his tweet generated. Another user quipped, “What Eric describes is a dog minus the motherhood, so people hide your dogs from Eric.”

The criticism didn’t stop there. Many users pointed out the irony in his statements, noting how conservative men often warn women about ending up lonely, yet frequently bemoan their own lack of companionship. A user remarked, “Notice how sexist men are constantly warning women that they are going to end up lonely, and yet every few months, we get another news article about conservative men crying because no one wants to date them.”

Others took a more humorous approach, with one user saying, “Imagine being a f***ing loser (This comment made by respecting women gang).” Another user added, “Look like she do'n just fine without a man like you,” referencing the apparent independence and success of women who do not adhere to such antiquated ideals.

Eric Conn’s tweet has not only sparked outrage but also a wave of laughable and insightful responses that highlight the evolving views on gender roles and relationships. The online community’s reaction serves as a reminder of the importance of respect, equality, and the rejection of outdated stereotypes in today’s society.

In the era of social media, one tweet can quickly become a viral sensation, and Eric Conn’s controversial statements have certainly made an impact. Whether it’s seen as a cautionary tale or a source of amusement, this incident underscores the ever-changing landscape of social media discourse.

Conservatives just want to tell other people how to live. Period. There is almost never a point where they are introspective.

Notice how sexist men are constantly warning women that they are going to end up lonely, and yet every few months, we get another news articles about conservative men crying because no one wants to date them. I never read articles about women or liberal men complaining about this. Weird.
