Golly gee, I'm so confused. All I did was comment in a forum about men's experiences about how I objected to the "anti-woman" sentiment expressed by a thread that is unfairly only about men's experiences, and now people are mad at me. I have legitimate information regarding what it's like to be a man, and just because I'm a woman it's not fair to not want my input. Information is information no matter the source and it just seems to me that those men just hate women for having valid information regarding men's issues and they should not only accept my input but laud me for having the wisdom to be able to comment on topics regarding experiences which it's not possible for me to have had.
This men's attitude just seems so strange and foreign to me because I can't conceive of someone not wanting my input on any and all topics. Are men really that fragile? I'm not threatened by men, and they can flock together whenever they want. I don't see the point of all-female gatherings, but if men need the safe haven of each other's company I have no problem with that, I just want to be able to provide my feedback and unmatched knowledge to them any time I feel I have something to say about men.
OK, I'll concede that some things make sense as uniquely male topics, like jock itch and blue balls and how to pick just that right T-shirt for every occasion. But my thick skin prevents me from understanding why these men are just such a mystery to me.
So please help me understand this exotic and bizarre mystery about men's behavior. I'm not at all looking for a passive aggressive outlet for my own disgruntlement regarding not being worshipped for my presence amongst the men in their comfortable little men's thread.
There's alot of unfairness in todays society mizzle, and when you run across a group of people who exclude others opinions based solely on their sex, maybe it's not worth even bothering with. What for?..
I could see a group of women talking about womans issues shunning a man's in-put as well...couldn't you?
Best thing to do is just move on to another..lots of good discussions out there.
Who cares if some one who's virtual is mad at you..a waste of your time and energy even thinking about it.

Ha Ha! Brilliant! I think this went over the respondents' heads, so far. But I get it and I like it!

For starters you might avoid referring to "men" as though we're some homogeneous group who all think and act alike. It's about as off-putting as those kinda threads where some gal carries on as though she speaks for all womankind!
