There's always talk about men dis-respecting women, what about the opposite?
Some women seem to treat men like dirt - either like all losers, sex-maniacs are dumb oafs...sitcoms seem to reinforce that. They seem to lump all men in the same category regardless. Seems especially apparent in the US, with Australia not far behind.
I got treated very poorly by women all the time in two of the cities that I lived in. Most of them were written up to their supervisors or given a very abrasive lecture on manners, I seriously do not take garbage from women, however I have to be extra careful because I do not want anybody filing a law suit on me for anything.
Since I've moved I haven't had to deal with too many obnoxious and abusive women, however, it is very apparent that many women hate men. The area I am in now seems to be okay though, I get treated with respect and proper customer service the majority of the time.

I can see why women would hate some men, but they are just as guilty of making blanket judgments as men do about women. I hate generalizations - especially negative ones - about any group, and people who shun certain groups and are blind to individual differences. American women - from what I've seen in the media and heard, have been subliminally told by family members, society, the media, that Mr. Right has to be perfect in any way. If he makes one small false move - bam! 'you don't deserve that crap girlfriend, dump his ass!' Aussie girls in the city are often just as bad, it's hard enough for me and I'm not even a 'jerk' as you would say.
Are they jealous of them? Are they really huge? Are you very beautiful ?
I'm glad I'm not the only person that gets treated horribly by women. I'm just glad that I moved and now I don't have to deal with moody insane women, it must have been a cultural thing.

Women who are confident and self assured generally get treated like crap by other women. Without meaning to we make other women insecure.
I am not jealous of what any woman has, how she looks or what she drives...I am me...lumps and all and a great rack!. That seems to fluster some women who are used to people cow-towing to them because they have some sort of authority or are 'beautiful' or whatever.
Oddly enough, I don't come to this conclusion cause I am so smart...my therapist told me this...I was all about the whole "sisterhood" thing...and didn't understand why I kept getting burned...
I'm sure this is not a phenomenon known only in the US or Oz - I'm sure it happens everywhere ... Women disrespecting men AND men disrespecting women. I don't believe it is indiginous to a particular area but rather it is a relationship dynamic.

This goes both ways but what is a telling statistic is that there are 4 times as many divorced women out there as divorced men. So despite many having little good to say about the men they marry and then divorce, somebody goes running to them when they "come up in the market" again. Meanwhile single men considerably out number single women.
So all that complaining has little to do with reality. If men were as bad as is claimed, they would be marked by divorce, but this obviously isn't the case. All it shows is that women learn little from others supposed mistakes and are loath to reconsider their previous choices. They cast their line into the same pond as before and wonder why they reel in the same bottom feeders. Then they give them another chance....and another....
(Note: some will claim that the reason that divorced women have it so bad is that they have children and are no longer wanted. However, this doesn't account for the large number of never married with children too.)
Getting burned by the "sisterhood" .... you realized women are not as cohesive and nurturing as you thought huh? huh? learned some lessons did you?
