I can understand a group of women having lunch together, but only to bash men, or anyone else, is just not right.

No, if I started taking up sexual frustrations when in the locker-room with the team or whatever they'd probably go like "holy crap, go get laid already, how much of a loser can you be?"
On the other hand we don't talk crap about women like women do about men, when I come to think of it, the only man I've ever heard talking down on women is my father...rest have all been describing how stunning women they've met, seen or gotten laid with.

I have never found so many women to talk about things? Actually there are meetups for women but never thought of doing that. Why would all of them want to meet?

the biggest difference is that men tend to do these things in private. they dont want everyone knowing they are hurt. we hide things a lil more. we dont convene groups to talk about it.
but men DO get hurt by women(or men for those of the homosexual persuasion). its normal.

if you are a human you have emotions. and men can be very unstable. it jus manifests itself in beheading your wife and shooting your ex in the head (praise allah for weaves!!!).

we get hurt, and go over things in our heads for extended periods as well. we just dont make it very public. men do hold onto things. for years. and years and years. we normally refer to them as grudges...

as for the group. who are they hurting? other than themselves. let them be a gaggle of bitter grannies. i just wonder what happens when one of the group does find a man and wants to introduce them to her friends?
how do they negotiate that?

but im sure they talk about other things as well. otherwise its a lil toxic to harbor such ill feelings constantly.
they gotta do more than just bash men...

If a woman has never had a good relationship, instead of blaming the men they should look at themselves.

I know a bunch of old guys who've given up on women, get together constantly for lunches and such, support each other emotionally, but they tend to talk and laugh and joke about many other things besides women...they seem extremely happy, content, at peace.

Well, it's not like we women get together in RL to bash men. This forum's good enough!

My mother does this re: EVERYTHING that's happened to her in the last 83 years....it can get to be so depressing; and now you know why people get "stuck"....but when you hear the broken record, it's like, toss that b*tch!

They also like to stretch out their hands like the scales of justice when listening to my latest tirade about the current one "doing me wrong" and say

"piece of ass, piece of mind, which one do you want?"

Tell us more about this woman! Is she a beauty that hates men because she's treated as meat / a sex object? Or is she ugly and frustrated that men don't like her because she is not attractive?

Men,... we can't gripe or complain about women... because we adore and need them... we just don't like the ones who are gold diggers and marry and divorce for money...
