Men Have Feelings Too, Believe It

Over the years, I probably, like most other men, have been on the receiving end of man-bashing resentments. Nothing quite like women having the gumption in telling me in my face how much I am a loser just because I am a man. One cannot drive anywhere without seeing stickers on cars belittling men in so many ways. Dating is next to impossible, especially for me since I am not tall, handsome, young, race-specific nor rich. All in all, I get a lot of reverse sexism but cannot understand how women expect us to give them the respect and adoration they demand. Some women will say "Can't take a joke?". Sure, men-hating is about as funny as a racial slur.

Take it from a man who catches plenty of racism. It's not funny at all.

Do not misunderstand me, I love women. I want to marry and have a lasting relationship forever. But it's not easy to approach any woman for fear of harassment or being rejected so rudely and disrespectfully. I acknowledge that women are equals. I believe that women should always be treated fairly. But so should men.

What makes this different from the Civil Rights Movement in the 50's is that the black community asked America kindly and non-violently to give us respect and equality. The Women's Movement of 1990 demanded respect and equality with the right to call men Pigs...or else... Do you see the difference? I sure do. For much of my life, I get called racial slurs, now it's gender slurs. Can't be friends with anyone it seems.

The point I want to make is that this men-bashing must come to a stop. For 15 years, women have made strides in the workforce and in society; I praise you. But at the same time, women have no respect for men. This causes a silent resentment amongst men and there must be something done. Divorce is rampant and single parent families are at an all time high. Asking a woman for a date has nothing to do with sexual harassment yet men sure get in plenty of trouble for it. IF women want us men, let's try and find out how to make it happen. We must find a way to strengthen America at the homefront by bringing MAN and WOMAN together once again. But this cannot be done of women continue to place these barriers between us.

We want our woman back. But we can't do it alone.

homer Though it's no excuse for their behavior, women have been dominated by men throughout most of the written history and this might be a reflection of it. Or could it be men's perception of feeling underhanded for the first time? Great article nonetheless! - More than a year ago
Lancealott We men can only blame our fathers and grand fathers for being so damn stupid. For treating women like dirt how because of their sex.. And so now women seek their revenge through torturing us like we tortured their mothers and grand mothers. Not all women do this but those who do are simple minded they believe that all men are the same because we all have dicks which they think makes us dicks we just got to prove them wrong by showing respect and proving all men are not mean like our fathers. - More than a year ago
motorboater To follow the golden rule, apply it across the board. You have to be measured and fair about women, just as you ask to be treated.

You say "women have no respect for men." But that's too far. You say the women are the ones placing "barriers between us" but that's only half the story. The other half is what men do.

And it seems like you think women are to blame for causing resentment, rampant divorce, single parenting, sexual harrassment. They are...but again, only about 50% of it. - More than a year ago
jon-lefty Ya women have been under respected. ya and I as a guy I say i'm sorry. but treating us like crap because some one treated them like that is no reason to treat others that way. - More than a year ago
A-R-Norman I agree with you to an extent hun--I am so tired of women treating men like brainless twits--you are our compliments and have your own wisdom and beauty! I love my brothers, despite any faults ( women have them too!)! But there is more to our issues to the battle of the sexes--if we can come to table, realize errors on BOTH sides and lsiten, we may come away with something wonderful! - More than a year ago
chksurfer There's women bashing too, sweetie. I've been there, and by my own former fiance. Example: apparently it's cool to be a "pimp," but no fun to be a "whor3." It's hard to be forward and open hearted without getting slashed as well. Constantly, I hear at work when a woman gets a promo, is because she opened her legs. With all honesty, I think that women were much more respected in the earlier centuries when they had less rights than they are now. The bashing goes both ways - More than a year ago
shanie82 Lol... we women live in a world where #1 We are targeted by the media who only seems to view us as a sexual commodity, #2 we are expected to have the perfect bodies, raise perfect children and be perfect wives. We live in a world that constantly tells us we can never be beautiful enough, so buy this and that product! you tell me when men are subjected to the same ideals and standards they hold us to, not say that men are not unfairly subjected to unobtainable ideals but being a woman is not easy - More than a year ago
redwarrior77 AMEN!!!!!!!!!!! Too many chicks have been infected with this cop-out of a lifestyle called feminism. It's disheartening to see so many good men having to deal with this nonsense like you stated earlier... As for what I see for Black Girls, they so caught up in having things and being materialistic... they wonder why they don't see to many Brothas wen they do "make it". Dating some gulz is like going to a job interview. Sad indeed. - More than a year ago
spartom In general, girls can be right and I hate to admit it but it's true. Although, I do have the same poor opinion of girls in general. I am in love right now and we both discussed this once (she has been through hating guys before) and I know guys who have been hurt. Just gotta find the right one for you mate is all I can say - 11 months ago
mormongirlmichl Great article.... but see, there is also women bashing.... and guys checking us out all the time because we have "assets". Or singing really dirty songs....which are just wrong and disturbing. So this is good for one side of the story, now we need someone to write an article to the other side....lol Anyways, thanks for the POV. - 11 months ago
cutebubble Men-bashing and women-bashing are the same, its sexist. Women shouldn't make fun of you. But just like there are bullies at highschool, there will always be some crappy people out there. It's not men-bashing, it's people-bashing, its like bullying. But it doesn't help 'blaming' all women for something that only some of them do. You should see it from both sides, maybe some women have has bad experiences with men, and then that is what caused them to talk about men badly. - 11 months ago
NirvanaCobain Men have to stop being such dogs, EXAMPLES: cheating, calling us whores, all those women digrating songs. Us girls just look at guys as if they just want sex because they DO. Been there done that too many times. Yeah sure not all guys are like that but until we see ONE man that can prove us wrong then we'll proably stop. - 11 months ago
jaycee777 When we all realise we are not all that different, then things may change, not all women are like this, me being one of them, yet I have been treated poorly by men for years, I understand the attitude to some extent, but don't think its right to take it out on genuine men. - 11 months ago
tex151 Ok first off that kind of complaining is never going to get you a gf, second where the hell do you live damn you must live in the heart of dyke ville. Your telling me women pick on you, and you let them, dude, if she insults you insult her back. Some girl called me a pig once and I said that's ok I'm not into lesbians, but hey we both like girls right so maybe you can hook me up with one of your sexy friends. You think I am going to let a girl walk all over me ya right. - 11 months ago
Thegreatwhitewillie To Shanie 82:

Both genders are subjected to impossible standards. This is because if the industry (whichever may be applicable) can get the consumer to feel incomplete, they are more likely to buy their product. Most guys don't give 2 s*** about what the magazines tell you we do, same with males. Seriously, everyone needs to stop looking to others for approval. It sucks being constantly told I'm only out for sex and I'll never love anyone, but a middle finger to you and I'll be on my way. - 11 months ago
quantumdefender Amen my friend, I could not have said it any better. what's really sad is most women will read this, and tell you to "get over it"
but you know what happens then, the women that treat you like shit, they end up dating and marrying an asshole who end up beating them, and they will make excuses for it! - 11 months ago
Infogirl Good points. I feel that there are less real men now a days. I see too many men who just do whatever the crowd does. They have no balls and don't seem to stand up for what they believe in and are lazy. women are so powerful now that we don't really even "need" men. Heck-we don't even need to have a relationship with you to reproduce. We can just buy some sperm from the doctor. Men need to step up their game and make us respect them. We are always on the defenseive because men just see us as meat - 11 months ago
shanie82 To "thegreatwhitewillie" if you would have read my comment carefully I ALREADY AGREED that men to are subjected to the some of the same ideals women are... your comment only served to prove my point. And the middle finger thing... it just shows how stupid and intolerant you man can be. I wasnt male bashing I was just stating how I feel about being a woman... but like the jackass you are- you couldn't catch that.... idiot. - 10 months ago
Joe223 Umm shanie I don't rekon he was giving the middle finger to you. If you read his comment again, proving your point was his intention. He was just backing up your claims and saying that while "Women are targeted by the media who view us as a sexual commodity" Most guys don't see women that way. What he was saying taht I think you may have taken out of context was "It sucks being told I'm only out for sex" and the middle finger is his response to the people who tell him this, not to you personally. - 10 months ago
Joe223 Infogirl, no disrespect to you, but your the kind of women this article is about. Saying men only see you for sex is bashing men in general, many men feel different. Also, less real men these days? what do you count as a real man? a confident guy who F&%$'s as many women as possible while acting 'manly'? or a guy who strives to provide for his partner so that they don't have to go to work if they don't want to? because I'm guessing taht when you go out, you look for the confident 'manly' guy... - 10 months ago
Joe223 Tex151 ill tell you right now, your a piece of shit. I'm guessin your a confident 'manly' guy who F%$#'s a whole lot of chicks on saturday nights arnt you? And if you have a girlfriend and you see her talking to another guy you'll pick a fight over it? because she's your property isn't she? And when you say "if she insults you insult her back", a real man wouldn't insult a woman, a real man would know that, No suprise that you dont... - 10 months ago
Joe223 NirvanCobain, I see what your saying, and your right, not all men are like that, but there hard to find. Cheating is done by both sides. Iv seen decent people of both sexes cheat on their partners. If a guy cheats on a girl, its a positive, because then she knows that guys character and can find someone who is different and who she deserves, but I know it hurts when you do everything for the other person just to have them make you feel like you wernt good enough for them. - 10 months ago
Infogirl To Joe233: no my definition of "manly" is not freaking a bunch of random chicks or being a jerk-that's what I was trying to say. I think a real man is one that doesn't do that-that actually has morals and beliefs. Someone who has his own creativity and not a tool. Doesn't just follow what society does but tries to set the standard of what a man should do - 10 months ago
girlgonewild I like your style, and I agree that man-bashing has been elevated to a "national past time". But hold on for just a moment... I think maybe the real issue might be relationship bashing, both men and women are targets because failed relationships have the power to do real head jobs on us all. I took a man out to lunch who bashed his ex all thru our meal, he complained about his mom and his sisters, too. He has underlying issues to work on, but clearly his target is the female of the species. - A month ago
