Would women have as much misandry, if they chose to make it customary and a socially acceptable habit, to simply use nice guys for sex until a nice guy clamors for a relationship?
Can I volunteer to help alleviate misandry by giving free full body massages with happy endings to any girls who claim they want to be my girl friend with benefits?
Really patriarchy? Spousal rape has been outlawed. So has beating one's wife. Women can now file for divorce and arranged marriages are all but unheard of in the America. Women have more control over reproduction and childbirth than ever before. You know nothing of patriarchy.
I'm good, thanks. This stuff of being "not nice" / hating on others - I think comes down to a person's character - not their gender. To say that some women hate men, well what of it? It's not like some men don't hate women, also. It's not like it's about "exclusive" behaviour coming from the one gender... and not the other. I think men and women are both generally okay.
I think women can always practice being better helpmeets to men; helping a nice guy practice full body massage with happy endings is one example. In my opinion, it is what friends with benefits are for.
I repress my feeling because my feelings are pointless. What is important is rational thought not emotional feelings. Both men and women are perfectly capable of well reasoned thought. This kind of thought ought to be practiced much more than "following feelings" which leads to nothing but selfish failures.
This topic is not exclusively about female misandry. I did not specify the topic to see what comes to the user's mind with regard to this topic.
I don't mind trying to help women, simply for the sake of gender relations. Any chicks who may feel they have some pent up misandry are welcome to a full body massage with happy ending; especially if they are willing to claim they are willing to be girl friends. It is a reason for being a friend.
I don't care about left or right. When women talk about how "women are" they're taking about themselves. And that's that.
Well who else knows women better than a woman? I hate how we make enemies of other women. My work involved working with loads of women..some men, some kids but mostly women of all ages. They can be so mean. They can be so touchy, hateful, vindictive and unfair and gloating about what they got away with. Sure. I've been guilty of it too at times but at least i recognize it and admit it.
Men are portrayed as idiots much more often on TV commercials than women. That is likely because most of the advertising is targeted for women. That is because women tend to spend more money on the useless garbage those commercials are pushing. It is not 'cute' when a man gets kicked in the balls. It is not 'cute' when hubby gets treated like a child and laughed at. It is not 'cute' when the kids are smarter than dad. It's all made up BS in order to patronize women so they will buy whatever product is being hocked. Stupid feminist garbage aimed at driving a wedge between men and women. Wake up!!!
Misandry is alive and well, and will remain so, as long as men remain bigoted pigs. Some women have always hated men and always will. This generation of young boys is putting up with nothing new, in the way of misandry.
You are not describing misandry, you are describing deception. That people lie about misandry is no news, people lie about almost anything and everything. This is also your subjective opinion and you seem to be implying misandry does not occur. Misandry does occur and often occurs with women being the perpetrators. Often violence by men is provoked by violence against them - no, I'm not saying this is right - I am saying that misandry is just as criminal as misogyny and should not be ignored or excused. To ignore misandry committed by women is in itself a form of misandry. Those who commit violence against men should be held to the same standard of accountability as those who commit violence against anybody else. I find it particulary heinous that violent rape of men in prisons is a commonly accepted fact and more often than not portrayed as humor. Is violent rape of women funny? How about anal rape of women? Should we laugh about how she gimps around the next day? Why is it funny when it happens to men? Why do police use it as a threat when confronting people on the streets? If an officer was caught on tape threatening a woman that she would be raped if he arrested her - does anyone imagine this would be ignored, or worse, laughed about? This is a form of misandry practiced by society at large. Men and boys are just as important and valuable to our society as women and girls. They deserve the same respect, dignity and protection.
You guys must have some crappy women in your lives. I've never met another woman who hated men, laughed if they got raped or brutally beaten. I've also never met a woman who goes around telling ppl how she beat on her old man last night, and how vindicated she felt when she watched him choke on his blood.Oh and I've never heard hypothetical cheers from her peanut gallery. Stop the exaggerations and maybe people can respond more seriously. I'm really glad my husband isn't as uptight over trivial things such as movies/commercials. If a scene is shown where a woman slaps a man for name calling or whatever, my husband doesn't stand up and cry about how unfair it is that she can get away with it. Perhaps if they made movies where the man was helpless against the woman and couldn't fight back, it would garner more audience sympathy. Then again, ppl would complain that the media is sissifying men and making them look weak.There have been a few movies where the woman was the villian and there were cheers when she got laid out. If a small woman slaps a larger guy on tv b/c he cheated or called her the ''b'' word(that's the most common scenarios), those scenes won't illicit sympathy. It's not realistic. I love men btw. I love that they open doors for me, reach to get things off the shelf for me, let me go into an elevator first, etc.... and I love their muscles
What is your point? Do you know men who do these things? If yes, you must have some crappy males in your life. No, typically men don't whine and complain about these situations. Men who do often are ridiculed either overtly, or subtly as you are doing here. I do object to violence portrayed against men. A man is portrayed as an object to be abused, if a man is portrayed retaliating to abuse, he is labelled brutal and/or violent. No one, for any reason has the right to belittle, humiliate or physically abuse another. Calling a woman a demeaning or profane name is not all right. Calling a man a demeaning or profane name is not all right. Both, men and women do it often enough, but rarely is it the man who slaps the woman upside her head for doing it. And if he does, you bet he's going to jail. Yet it seems socially acceptable for women to slap men, I've seen women throw glasses of liquid in mens faces. You love them for what they do for you. You love that they pander to you and facilitate your wants. But do you respect them for what they are?
I, for one, was not talking about women laughing when a man got raped or brutally beaten. I mentioned the overall lack of respect men seem to get in the media. Of course he doesn't...because he is a man. This thread is about misandry so it is appropriate to point out man-bashing. Ever see the move "Misery?" YIKES....Of course the biggest Lib in Hollywood directed that movie...Rob Reiner. I agree and that is not what I meant. In the movies, woman have been known to slap men then kiss them anyway. I am referring to serially portraying men as blithering idiots or men who have never grown up. A certain amount of that is funny but it is getting ridiculous. I remember when the media hype was that women resented having doors opened for them. I ignored that crap and did it anyway. These days I find some women quite surprised when I hold the door for them.
It certainly exists, but misogyny is a far greater problem for young boys I would think, in comparison. Surely you dont think misandry is anywhere near misogyny in prevalence?
Quote:me I love men btw. I love that they open doors for me, reach to get things off the shelf for me, let me go into an elevator first, etc.... and I love their muscles That's why I added the last bit, to point out that I'm not a feminist man hater. Most women don't mind those things. See... I can at least discuss this with you as you seem level headed and not too far out there concerning misandry.
I think many women would be less "misandrous" if they were more willing to ask some guys for full body massages with happy endings. In my opinion, many nice guys would be happy to give, simply for the sake of gender relations.
To me, feminism plays into the patriarchal societal model in that part of its thrust is for women to be more like men. IMO, the earlier matriarchal societies would be a better model where women were seen as the basis for life and held in high esteem. Some scholars of ancient Egypt claim that the Pharoah's headdress was meant to represent the long-flowing female hair and was the mark of his higher consciousness passed down from a more ancient matriarchal age. It was thought that each person's highest spiritual attainment was to 'know' and recognize both the male and female within their own consciousness. This higher state of consciousness cannot be attained by pretending one sex is like the other. It can only be attained by BOTH sexes recognizing their uniqueness and that BOTH sexes are responsible for each other. (climbing down from soapbox)
Every child raised in a home without a father is a product of misandry. You have no idea how deeply misandry has destroyed western culture.
