Why do women hate men?

Question

I was reading this question & a guy asked what women think of men. All the girl's responses were negative, all of them. They seemed to be very hostile against men & hold a lot resentment. Why do women hate men, what is it that they want from us? Be honest and say whatever is true to you!

Well, firstly it is impossible to poll all women. Second, the ones who are jaded because of guys are more likely to respond to that kind of question than the ones who aren't. It's human nature. Just like with customer service surveys. If there is a problem, you complain. If there isn't a problem, people just believe they have more important stuff to do than provide feedback.

I love guys, even though I've had my share of problems too. I learn from things and try to learn to set better boundaries next time.

PS- Nowadays, people aren't really taught how to have healthy relationships because most don't know how to have one. Pass that down a few generations and you get a bunch of hurt people. When is the last time you met a female that knew how to set boundaries and be assertive in all relationships? We are taught to consider others feelings before our own, whether or not we follow that is a different story.

I seem to find guys that use me, but each time I learn to set better boundaries. Someday when I have kids, I want them to know how to foster healthy relationships.

Not all women hate all men. Some women have been really traumatized and consequently go through a phase where they have to try to stand on their own two feet, to stay away from guys in the process so they can figure themselves out.

I've seen some women act in a hostile way towards guys in general. It's usually masked as "feminism" -- but I know better, since I'm a feminist and don't hate guys in the least! (You fellas come in really handy when I need a tire changed and stuff, lol.)

Oddly, some women "flirt" by adopting a rough demeanor with guys. This is not a very typical trait in women, though, so be wary about interpreting hostility as interest...

I can't claim to be able to identify the thing that makes some women feel hostile towards men -- perhaps they can't appreciate attention in general when it's directed at them... All I can do is assure you that it's not all women who feel that way.

There is also a chance that a specific guy is misinterpreting what a specific qirl is saying, but that's part of a longer debate you might not want to get into here. :-)

Well a great deal of us have daddy issues. There is a significant amount of divorce and usually the women raise the children and hte men pretty much come and go as they please. I just don't like how the media and live in general seems to glorify the fact that men have no acountability for their actions.. For instance if you get a girl preggers pray it's not yours or just bail all together! Furthermore I think that guys have so many expectations for us and in reality they do nothing except some of them work. They don't raisee their kids, they just use us for sex or money or a greencard whatever they need at the moment. Then when they are done they leave, it's like men don't have feelings at all. They just can't be trusted they always have a motive and it sucks.

I really hate comments like this because it creates this idea that a woman’s ideas or thoughts or behaviors are absolute. All humans are imperfect we are all deprived. Because if it were true then after I’ve done everything a woman requires then it should all be fine and in most cases it is not.

I think the women that don't like men are more inclined to post their views.

Really, you're getting the opinion of a minority that doesn't represent the majority.

Usually the ones that do, have been treated badly.

gummybear888 · Answer

That's the exact point. You read a question, not a professional and statistically correct census that incorporates all and not just a subdivision of a population.

That would entail the answer to be most likely biased.

But to explain a possible few reasons why SOME women would think that, to each their own, their own experiences and the level of class men display in this day and age may be lower and sub-par. Again, a more professional and statistically correct survey/ census would need to be done to include these reasons.

smccosky · Answer

Well, the only reason I would make derogatory comments about men is because I've been treated badly and cheated on by a few men who I've trusted. Now keep in mind I'm only speaking for myself and not the entire female population, but I believe that I do have a deep, dark hostility towards men.

I've had men I love running off with other women behind my back, lying to me.. ect. It just seems like all men I see are cheating on their significant others, at least at younger ages.

It's like when someone thinks that blondes are stupid. They might converse with 9 dumb brunettes. But once they speak with the first dumb blond they see their thoughts are confirmed. I think it's something along those lines. There might be millions of great men out there. Unfortunately, women have tunnel-vision.

spicyavacados · Answer

I really think it sucks when guys generalize and say that "all women hate men". That seems as though it comes from someone who is making excuses for something. (Don't worry, what I'm saying is more general than something targeted at you)

But think for a second about your actions, and those of the guys you know. Are they all honorable and pure? No. That's why some girls are jaded. Just like some guys are jaded about girls. It all depends on the circumstances

Also, it depends on the sample. If a question you read was about a guy cheating, for example, most of the responses will naturally be negative, and a lot of girls who have gone through the same thing will want to weigh in on it.

Women hate Men- really? how do you define 'gate' does disrespect enter into it?

I do not see women bashing men. I see men disrespecting women as a common topic of conversation. its not even considered an insult- just matter of course.

(maybe these guys feeling t he 'hate' have irritated enough women that they are justly, feeling the the consequence of their words and deeds. Of course not wanting to be accountable-they blame it on Some women irrationally harboring arbitrary hate. Not common sense "F*** off - If you're not going to respect me")

Women don't 'hate' men, or you would not be here today.

(many) Men definitely do not respect women- Is not good.

What is the wort insult you can throw at a guy?

" Stop acting like a Woman" > Ideologically- That's a big deal, but its not given a second thought. its a huge.

I don't think women hate men, we just hate a lot of the things that they do to frustrate the hell out of us. There are many great men out there but unfortunately we all go through a few "duds" before we find our "Stud". I think as long as you are being yourself and being honest, then let her accept you for who you are. If she doesn't', then she is not the right girl for you.

valvade · Answer

Because we have ALL been used or mistreated by at least one. We are protective creatures, we do not want to allow ourselves the chance to have another dude do to us what that one (or more) have already done. So, we form am opinion of the male gender and while it may be wrong of us to do so.. it protects us from the jerks.. (btw.. it never works anyway)

cutechuubygirl · Answer

because most of men are not loyal to their partner...they ditch girls for another girl...they are more moneyminded and less emotional for a girl...for them any relation comes later and money comes first for any man woman is just lust material...they think they are superiour then a female...NOT  all but most of themthinks like this and all this makes a women to hate  man

ThatsWhatSheSaid11 · Answer

meh, I could pretty much say the same thing about men after reading the question: why do men often think they will be alone forever (something along those lines). One of my replies after reading the guys comments was "bitter much"

I think it goes both ways and most of the time its from a nasty habit that people have of generalizing and focusing on the negative parts of past relationships

Randomgirl987 · Answer

The only women who really hate men, are the ones who have gotten hurt by them many times.. personally, men are less dramatic, funny, and entertaining! ignore the negative comments

i don't hate men, I just want to find a good guy I can share my life with. what I can't stand is all the bs and liars. which unfortunately happens to be a lot of guys in the dating game these days. I would like more guys to be honorable and treat women with respect. does that mean act like every moment is from a My Fair Lady scene? no. but don't put us down, lie and try to manipulate people and then get mad when someone has a problem or doesn't give into you. I'm not hateful I'm just jaded

Lena16 · Answer

Its not that we hate men its just that they tend to do things that hurt us...Tell lies, cheat, abuse. Its all the things that have happened to us that made us seem so angry. All I want is for guys to show a little compassion and not be such an ass.

b61983 · Answer

i love men! but sometimes they are mean to me so I get jaded...but in the end, I keep going back...Men are sexy! and they smell good and feel good...i don't hate men...just the things they do sometimes

lananoel · Answer

The simplest answer is I don't hate them just specific qualities that frustrate me.. The lack of understanding can bring me to almost literal tears and the obsession with looks.. Like I said its a frustration...

brunettebelle · Answer

We don't just we tend to have high demands, I bet guys would say some nasty things about women. Basically I think the media pushes to many things like when you watch a movie.

Women don't hate men. Must have been a troll's question you read.  Don't troll. Be fair, read the questions & answers/responses of a lot of men...they sound like women haters. Very misleading.

Bittybittyboopboop · Answer

Bad experiences, negative conditioning, and, for many women, habit.
