I just wanted to make this thread to ask you all a question about the differences between men hating woman, and women hating men.

I've noticed for quite a while now that men who have negative things to say about women or hate women for any reason are usually looked down upon more so than a women who has negative things to say about a man, or hate men in general. Men who hate women are usually scolded by others for their feelings, or are even thought of as "gay", while women who hate men are usually seen as more sympathetic figures, even getting praise from other women for finally seeing "the light" so to speak about men.

I ask this question: "Why do you think this happens?" I admit, I haven't had the greatest of relationships with women, and have had more than my fair share of negative encounters with them, leaving me to become somewhat bitter at women in general, but people usually try to find fault with me for being this way. I'm looked at as a "weirdo", or even "gay" when this couldn't be further from the truth. I feel as though if I WHERE a women, than I wouldn't get nearly half of the criticism or advice from my friends and family for my attitude that I already do.

I don't believe this. I can't stand man-hating jokes and I hate when men lump all women in one category. No one, man or woman, should be categorized or stereo-typed but it happens. To me, it just makes the one doing the lumping look ignorant--man or woman. I don't go for either.

I think it's because we're typically (from the stone ages) associated as the weak sex that needs emotional support just for the fact that we can tolerate more pain when it comes to child bearing but need someone on our side to back us up. In order words be the ''protected''.
Men on the other had are characterized as the ''protector'' and they have to appear strong or otherwise they will be cast out. It's at the same time kind of when a lion wants to show up tough or else he's no mate for the lioness.
Another reason is plain double standards and bias people. I personally have no sympathy for someone that shows negative concepts towards the opposite sex, be that man or woman. If I see a woman crying everyday of how she always gets abusive men and how she hates them, I would walk away from her just as I were seeing a man complaining about how women are gold-diggers... It means no difference to me. Negative people are a waste of oxygen on earth...

Tbh, both are just as bad as each other. But I was a bit surprised in the thread where the guy asked what he has to do to convince and win over this girl he likes who thinks all men are jerks. It surprised me that a lot of women said give her time, be her friend, be sensitive etc. I would have thought someone who lumps and entire gender into one category purely because of her bad experience was bitter and sad, and should be avoided at all cost.

Needless to say, both are as bad as each other, and nothing is more unattractive than a man or woman who is totally bitter about the opposite gender. Bad experiences happens to all over us. We live and we learn, and we learn how to socialise with better people.

Yeah don't see why either. If that guy in the thread is still hanging out with Ms. Negative, then he's wasting time. For starters why would a man or woman be with someone negative due to prior bad experience they can't get over with? It's no excuse. What does their experience got to do with the present time? Most important what does the person that wrong them have to do with you who is innocent and has done nothing?

I think it's human nature to a degree. Kind of like how a person gets mugged by a black person then is racist towards blacks.

I have no respect for either one.

I thought it was women who were labeled as lesbians for hating men. Feminists are labeled the same way due to the misguided notion that feminism is about misandry. That has been my observation and experience anyway.

I do think women haters should consider a homosexual life style. Everybody needs love. I've never known a woman that hates men, or who seriously dislikes them, not to be a lesbian.j/k? lol

I think we need to start a grammar/and/or/spelling support club for a few of the men on this forum! LOL

Dorrans,

Yes, actually that thread did actually cross my mind when I was putting the thread together earlier. It also surprised me that a lot of the women in that thread actually bypassed the fact that the girl in question HATED men, and wanted nothing to do with them. Some of the women in that thread did actually want the guy not to go near that girl, but for the most part the women who participated in that thread were kind of sympathetic towards the girl in question. My point is if the roles were reversed, what would these women be saying to a girl who was dealing with a women-hating man who swore off females?

I ask this question: "Why do you think this happens?"
Because men are b*stards. So who could argue?
