Washington Post: Why Can't We Hate Men?

[Kath]

Some of you guys need better women friends. I don't know any women, even the gay ones, who don't like men. I find the whole concept of hating 1/2 the population to be truly bizarre.

Lucky for us, these man and woman hating asshats are the minority.

Do you know many women lawyers/judges?

The divorce stats alone prove without a doubt that most women see men as nothing more than disposable utilities.

Never an outright "I hate men". More of a dismissive attitude, and quiet resentment. You'll see it in any middle-aged woman, if you look for it.

I'm middle aged and most of my friends are as well. We don't hate men. The men we love don't hate women. I don't know who these people are.

Do you sneer whenever a man is proud of something that he did?

Do you take the opportunity to scoff at him when he tries to impress you?

Do you laugh at a man's efforts to succeed at something that you don't think important?

Do you discount the fact that men have built the entire world around you, and convince yourself that you could have done it yourself?

Do you treat women the Same Way?


(Not you specifically, as you'll never recognize it in yourself, but watch your friends.)

No to all of the above. Our chosen community is built on love and mutual respect. You'll see none of that shit. I can't imagine being out to dinner with one of my friends while she drones on and on about her man sucks. I would never be friends with such a person. Unhappy? Get out. Happy? Quit-yer-bitchin.

I don't hate women.

Let me show you a clip to illustrate what I was saying:



What is your reaction, what would be the reaction of most of the women you know?

Every man here, every.single.one knows that in that situation? We should not back down. We should get our ass kicked, probably by multiple people.

Why did you post that? It's four minutes of my life I'll never get back. What would you like me to say about it? Unfunny bit from Louis CK?

Not a fan of the guy but that was spot on. Jedi hit home with that one. Women do not hold men to the same standard as they hold women, and they expect men to do irrational displays to win their affection.
