"Sir, - said I, - all men love all women. That is the prima-facie aspect of the case. The Court of Nature assumes the law to be, that all men do so; and the individual man is bound to show cause why he does not love any particular woman."
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Breakfast-Table.
It has been noted throughout history that the love of women for men is less than the love of women for men. This is due a good part to evolutionary reasons that made the love of women for men conditional while that of men for women relatively unconditional. A man had to prove himself capable of being a good protector and provider and if he failed to do so the woman needed to move on to another man for her own sake for the sake of any children she might have. If a man could terminate his feelings so easily a lot of women and children would have died.
We should note that sex existed first and that the sex drive comes from the male hormone testosterone and that love evolved out of sex:
"For all love, however ethereally it may bear itself, is rooted in the sexual impulse alone, nay, it absolutely is only a more definitely determined, specialized, and indeed in the strictest sense, individualized sexual impulse." Schopenhauer
Now in modern times various factors have made things worse for men. Collectivism, brought on by population growth, is based on the "female principle" of unity and has created a more feminine world overall. Technology has freed women from household labor so they can pursue careers to support themselves without the help of men. It has created a wealth surplus which women can access and which then negates the need to cater to any man. A poor man needs to be constantly catered to if the family doesn't know where its next meal is coming from. But if a rich man is plundered a woman may support herself for the rest of her life without a man. And then there is the all powerful state:
"women do not conspire against tyrants; and they are of course friendly to tyrannies.. since under them they have a good time" Aristotle
The government has to some good extent replaced the husband as protector and provider. The police protect her; she can receive all sorts of transfer payments (welfare etc.); they enforce "family" law which imposes alimony and child support on men. Free public education also frees her from the home to pursue a career. As for secrecy:
"If men knew what women said about them in private, the human race would cease to exist." W. H. AUDEN20 Reply

Anonymous(36-45)+1 yThe eternal truth about women has been hidden by feminism and women's modern society. As St. Albert the Great put it:
"Woman is a misbegotten man and has a faulty and defective nature in comparison with his. Therefore she is unsure in herself. What she herself cannot get, she seeks to obtain through lying and diabolical deceptions. And so, to put it briefly, one must be on one's guard with every woman, as if she were a poisonous snake and the horned devil... In evil and perverse doings woman is cleverer, that is, slyer, than man. Her feelings drive woman toward every evil, just as reason impels man toward all good."13 Reply- +1 y

Funny how it doesn't state anything about that 90% of women bull. Even if I missed it and it's actually there guess what you have one biased and UNSCHOLARLY source. If it's a magazine or website article it's practically worthless. And what statistics do I need all I said is you didn't have any which is true?
- +1 y
I need ACTUAL statistics for the claim you made not just "well it's about right".
What's stopping me from saying "the majority of cats die at age two, well that's about right, take my word for it, in the meantime here is an article about cats:
www.popsci.com/.../sorry-cat-haters-science-isnt-your-side
It's not really related but STATISTICS (not really)."
That's basically what you just did here.

Feminism is social equality, not one gender exceeding that of the other. Men already have more rights than women, we're just trying to even out the playing field a bit. Also there's no need to jump to conclusions, I'm just stating my opinion? I thought that's what this site is for...

"You clearly don't know what Feminism is." Despite insisting that feminism cares for everyone, and wants equality for everyone, the facts suggest the opposite is true. Women have more rights than men and those discrepancies need to be addressed. But more importantly, gender is just one thing that defines who a person is, what advantages and disadvantages they might have, what opportunities are in front of them, or foreclosed. Class, wealth, race, ability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion – all of these things have a profound influence on individuals, and the only way to understand how a specific person can be helped or hindered is to see that person as a human being, first and foremost. Perhaps the reason I don’t need feminism is because what I really need is humanism. And maybe you do, too. TC mark I am sorry what? I don't know what Feminism is? #stupidcunt

you know what, you're right. i have got it better than you... i have brain cells, i have a girlfriend, i have better things to do than go on a website dedicated to communication between genders and bash ladies
- +1 y
You have brain cells? More like brainless. You have a girlfriend? Good for you, I do too. Bashing ladies? It's clearly a site in which women hold more rights than men. Don't stand there and think it's all wrong when it clearly it's right. Have a good day to you too you uninformed minx.

Anonymous(30-35)+1 yWow you got the wrong idea of how many women are feminists, let alone agree with any misandry.
I mean I am happy bashing women for buying into feminism any chance I get but, lets at least be tasteful and stick to the truth when we do it, mhm? Reality is most women find feminism (as it is today) laughable and are as fed up with it as men.00 Reply
+1 yThat is such a stupid statement you have no proof to back up those statistics. If that is true then 100% of men are misogynists.

Oh please. Those are not even close to good enough reasons to call 90% of women misandrists.
- +1 y
No but those are rights that women hold more than men. I know, my own experience, have encounted women trying to emotionally bash me because I am not approaching them or I looked at their directions. I was just working there and I happen to see an attractive girl who claims to be a misandrist, that was it.

Yeah but you said it yourself: personal experience. Your personal experience isn't enough to gauge those type of statistics. You're one person out of 7 billion.
+1 yYou're clearly exaggerating. I've not met a single woman who has ever said that she sincerely hates men. I've heard them say that men lie, that men are jerks but they never seriously hate all men.
Ps: I agree that most feminists are misandrists.00 Reply
