In today's society it is taboo for anyone to say much of anything that is not going to offend someone, somewhere.

It does seem like that but there is no pressure on a man to say " I need a woman".

Not really the case. I would think men who say "I need a woman" are in desperation.

If women in your world hate men, you're doing something wrong. I'm glad I don't live in your world.
The world I live in is the United States.

I never said women in general hate men, I said why does society put pressure on women to hate men? That's the difference.

Cause the media effing sucks and is run by a bunch of political extremists, and most sane women avoid listening to them as do most sane men.

The difference is that women get bash for simply wanting a man while males get bashed for not already having a woman. Do you see my point?

Youre absolutely right...Ive noticed this too..in another thread I notice people chastised men who decided marriage wasnt for them, yet when you hear women say they dont need a man or marriage to be happy, they are heralded with "you go girl"s and its deemed progressive and liberated...our entire society has become about providing several options for women's lifestyles and making sure they have the resources available to exercise those options...and men have just become another resource..., and the more we empower women to be liberated, the more this society actually demands that men cling to their more traditional gender roles, for the sole purpose of preserving the option of a traditional relationship/courtship and protection for women who exercise those options. This is done under the auspices of "removing" gender roles altogether, yet it actually only removes women's traditional gender role and sternly reinforces heterosexual men's traditional gender roles, in order to make sure women still even have the option of traditional marriage when they feel like taking a break from the radical feminist spiel.

Women don't need men. In fact, we are lucky and should feel honored if they give us the time of day. Don't you know that?

No I don't. If I said "I wanted a woman", then I'd basically be screwed over in the dating world.

As it is, my cultural expectations put me at a huge shortage. Ok, sun is setting. I've gotta take a shower and do my evening prayers. Catch you later .
