    Poor republican men...they must feel good that they have a president who harresses women and wants to take away their reproductive freedom. What are these poor men suffering? What is being denied them?
    Please tell me the thousands of men’s groups...you can skip the neo nazis and kkk.

    Men and women give in different ways so a test that focuses on certain ways of giving is likely to give skewed results. In any case 'giving' alone isn't a sign of being ethical. If you really are focused on helping others and not just satisfying your desire to be or appear to be a good selfless person, you would put long term sustainability of yourself, family, and then others before appearances.

    The OP. The 'studies' don't appear to be linked so I cannot specifically address them but in general I would question how they are quantifying or measuring 'selfishness'.

    sounds like bigoted nonsense.

    there is no "selfishness" gene tied to the X chromosome.

    It appears you are writing more about social norms than men actually being selfish. The change in norms over the years point that out.

    On a physical and historical note men have had to be the hunters and bread winners before women were freed from the labor and responsibility of raising children, not that they are not still responsible but many advances have made it easier and less time consuming freeing women to pursue other things. Men having control to women gaining control has led to the changes in norms and often excesses in perception.

    Generally in real life these perceptions are not that important. Where it is inflated is in academia and specialized victim groups. Companies tend to follow the current perceptions to avoid litigation.

    Dear Democratic Women: Remember when when we had a Democratic President who was a serial harasser and rapist, and how much you loved him? Ahh good times...

    Definitely. It is possible to design a test which would conclude that women are generally kinder then men. It is possible to design a test which would conclude that men are generally kinder then women.

    But researchers understand very well that if they design a test showing that men are kinder, they would be blacklisted and face enormous consequences. Researchers understand very well that if they design a test showing that men are kinder, they would face no consequences.

    He was a jerk for getting a blowjob but it was consensual and he was not a rapist. We probably would not have voted for him had we known about his behavior, but this happened after he was in the White House and I might add fought hard for women’s rights. Now you voted for a man who admits he is a sexual predator and wants to take away rights from women but that’s different
    I think a better question is asking Republican women why they voted for a man who is a complete sexist Who trades in wives

    Why do men have reputation for being unkind and selfish?

    Because throughout history men have taken advantage of superior strength and displayed aggression to be unkind and selfish in warfare, leadership, relationships, and pretty much every other interaction due to the fact we were the dominant sex. As women gain in the traditional male dominated roles they are free to recognize and be critical of this history.

    I also assume that blow job was consensual, at least in the same way that Harvey Weinstein had consensual sex with apparently hundreds of starlets; he was a man in power, and used his position to get what he wanted. Clinton was the chief executive getting a BJ from an...intern. That's the ultimate in abusive power dynamics.

    But that's not even what I'm talking about. I'm talking about actual rape by force. Don't even tell me you have never heard of that.

    Actually monica Lewinsky admitted she went after him and he was stupid enough to allow it. He was a jerk This wasn’t the first powerful man she seduced. She didn’t want anything from him .....
    so you have to be raped by force to be sexually assaulted.? .let me ask you, if you go for an interview and the male boss grabs your balls, would you consider that sexual assault ?
    And yes, sadly I have heard of rape....too familiar with it

    Wow. You didn’t realize he was a scumbag liar when he said “I didn’t inhale”? You didn’t think it was a red flag when all the allegations of sexual harassment and womanizing were revealed during his campaign?

    Which means he was too stupid to be President and deserved to be impeached for stupidity along with obstruction and perjury.

    Because men are insensitive and women are emotionally dependent.

    ...in general, of course.

    Men try to make women happy by working hard, fixing things, helping with chores... when the woman just wants someone to *make* her feel better. A lot of men cant do that because they make *themselves* feel better. Not relying on others for emotional guidance or support makes it difficult to understand how to help others with their emotional needs, having never experienced the 'exchange.'
    Further, many women 'bond' by sharing and working together on emotional vulnerabilities. Men work those out themselves, internally. This makes it difficult for men and women to bond.

    As to how to fix this... I wish I knew.

    Im trying to raise my dsughter to be emotionally independent, but it seems theres some genetic presets in there...

    I hope you’re teaching your daughter to work hard, fix things and “help with chores”.(means the chores are women’s) I agree that women bond by sharing and working together and that is why we need more women in politics. We don’t necessarily work together for “emotional vulnerability’s” but rather in every area including power
    What genetic presets are you speaking of that aren’t part of internalized socialization ?

    1) As I see it, bitter divorced men and women are equal in number, per capita.

    2) There is no metric or standard to empirically measure "selfishness".

    3) Where there appears to be an increase, at least online, to men who are misogynistic or angry at all women, I really haven't seen that in my daily activities.
