Do you feel the need to have to walk on egg shells around women because of women?

[SolitarySolace]

Yes

No

Oh well... I guess this time it was easier to choose, but again, You're asking a very detailed question that only has one rational answer.

That's because while I do feel the need to have to walk on eggshells around women, it's definitely not because of women if we look at the problem in the wider context. Sure, it's women who can and often will sue me if I make the slightest mistake in my behavior around them, but in most cases it's far from their own fault. I might assume that most of them are simply terrified of men due to what they are told by the media and not even actively hostile towards men. And even those who would do it on purpose, with their sole goal being to torment me, not to keep themselves safe from a mostly imaginary threat that men supposedly pose, are nothing but tools for a rather clandestine group (or maybe a few groups) in power that's brainwashing them through the media to hate men and torment them whenever an opportunity arises. If You got stabbed with a knife, would You blame the knife for stabbing You? As has been hopefully made apparent to You on GaG alone, not all women are a deadly threat to men. The big problem is that it's no easy feat to differentiate those who are a deadly threat from those who aren't (and might actually willingly help You in a war against those who want You tormented), but it still proves the point that it's not women, and definitely not women in general (as some women are actively spreading the hateful propaganda, it might be argued that those women are somewhat responsible for the results of their actions, even if they've been brainwashed themselves before) who are at fault for forcing men to walk on eggshells around them. It's sometimes said the ones behind a crisis are those who benefit from it the most. With this assumption in mind, it's clear that women are not at fault for forcing men to walk on eggshells around them, since their benefits are extremely short-lived and once they realize it, they sometimes repent, especially if they are not brainwashed, just terrorized by the image of men painted by the media. Those in power, however, with most of them being men, surprisingly, get a heavily polarized society that's easily manipulated into electing them or their puppets for the government, which is the most long-term benefit of all, as it assures a steady influx of funds for whatever their more ambitious goals might be and an almost absolute control over at least the Western societies (China, while shamed as totalitarian - and actually being authoritarian - does not allow such a polarization of the Chinese society, and some other Asian countries, like Japan, adopt a similar stance, prioritizing the well-being of their nations over control over them).

No but then again I don't really talk to many people anyways. Probably helps that I if someone is rude to me I snap back rapidly and with far worse than what they said. I have no qualms about offending, insulting or making someone feel awful. Except my wife and children.

[SotiCoto]

Nope. And in fact I'm not entirely convinced that women like that.
I'd say they actually prefer it if you stand up to them... to some extent. If you keep doing it even in a relationship with them then they tend not to like it so much.

Yes, except I don't bother anymore.
