Why are some men on here so misogynistic?

[HappyWoman34]

Expecting women to bring perfection to the table without considering what they have to offer us all as women? It seems to me that sexism is rampant in our world and the women’s liberation movement was all for nothing in the end. Who agrees?

[Anonymous]

Honestly I think men are just tired of getting shafted by society when it comes to women. Things like divorce, child support, spousal support, a lot of people believing women over men, etc. Now that men are speaking up, women don’t like it so they’re labeled as misogynistic after all these years of keeping our mouths shut just going along w it. Hence the saying, happy wife, happy life.” Which when you think about it makes her sound like a complete bitch that she’s such a bad lady she will make your life miserable if she’s unhappy even if it’s your fault or it. I don’t think women are used to this so it’s easy to call men misogynistic when he stands up for himself.

[HappyWoman34]

There’s truth in that statement and partly true. In other ways, some men go too far with a hatred of women that I think comes from a fear of their sexuality.

[Opinion Owner]

That is true but a lot of women especially older ones have a real hate for men. I think as men get older we’re happier, compared to a lot of women who seem to be bitter as they get older.

[HappyWoman34]

Not all women or all men.

[Opinion Owner]

So are you really happy?

[HappyWoman34]

Yeah, most of the time I am. I’m not bitter with or disliking anyone.

[Opinion Owner]

But you’re happy w your man?

[HappyWoman34]

I’m not with a man and I’m happy

[Opinion Owner]

Ok. I thought maybe you were single. Or you dating a woman?

[HappyWoman34]

Fair question. No. I prefer going out with my friends to dating.

[Opinion Owner]

Ever married? Kids?

[HappyWoman34]

Nope. You?

[Opinion Owner]

Married once, but now w someone for 13 years

[HappyWoman34]

Good on you. I hope it works out xo

[ShiftingMonke]

I think the women's liberation movement may have resulted in a series of unintended consequences; it may have started with the best of intentions, but could end up doing far more harm to good. At the end of the day, you're dealing with a (speaking of the representation on this site) relatively small but loud portion of users that statistically speaking, are hurting themselves more than anyone else. They'll learn their rants and hate get them nowhere, and soon those ideas will be abandoned and they will either grow up and join society or they'll distance themselves and become a genetic dead end. Ultimately, it's not effecting me one way or the other.

[Anemone978]

It seems to be just this specific GAG community lol Most guys I have delt with in RL are nothing like the guys on here, but there are some really nice guys on here too so don't worry.

[CateM]

Some of them are surely trolls. Most of the men I know in real life aren't like that

[HappyWoman34]

Me too, I know some good men in person.

[CateM]

Most of them are actually feminists, too, but I don't see a whole lot of real feminists on here

[HappyWoman34]

Me neither

[CateM]

But some people here claim they're not feminists, but I suspect they are as they advocate for equal rights, but their view on what feminism is skewed

[Berethor]

Tradwifes become popular again? and feminism do more harm than good so what you expect?

You ask about sexism, but your question is, "Why are some men on here so misogynistic?" Why are you ignoring the women who are so misandristic? Aren't YOU exhibiting sexism in the way you pose the question?

[HappyWoman34]

As far as I’m aware, I’m simply expressing my opinion based on what I see.

[Opinion Owner]

That's the kind of "answer" I expected.

[HappyWoman34]

Good. Then you won’t be disappointed.

[Opinion Owner]

I learned a long time ago to lower my expectations.

[HappyWoman34]

Good. Then you’ve learnt something. We all learn to do that. The hard way, so it’s not just you.

[Opinion Owner]

One of the things that I've learned is that if you complain about others but you avoid critical self-examination because you don' want to find any fault in your self, it is very unattractive.

[HappyWoman34]

Yes, I’ve found the same thing.

[HappyWoman34]

I’ve frequently met men and women who lack the humility to look at themselves honestly to improve character faults and relationships with others. It’s almost always the spoiled, self entitled people who think they’re special and that the world owes them something. They’re the kinds of people who attack you for freely expressing your own opinions.

[HappyWoman34]

But both men and women do that.

[HappyWoman34]

I haven’t had that luxury to not have to evaluate myself and lack humility. I’m not telling you why as it’s not your business or concern.

[Anonymous]

Most men have been fucked over by women. For example something that really happened to me is that my ex step mom had an affair and sent my brother videos and pictures of it and the kids saw traumatizing them. Not able to take humiliation like men women often ghost you after showing true colors even if you are besties.

[HappyWoman34]

That’s awful. I’m sorry that happened to you.

[Opinion Owner]

You can see how that could make someone weary of women right? I’m over it but I had to have a lot of therapy.

[HappyWoman34]

Yes, absolutely.

[HappyWoman34]

No, you have my sympathy about that. There are some bad women in the world, too

[Anonymous]

It's not just here; GAG is a microcosm of society at large. The attitudes of men here are a true reflection of attitudes of men everywhere.

Until society stops viewing all gender issues through a gynocentric lens, treating males badly and ignoring the problems males face in modern western society, that is only going to continue getting worse.

[ManOnFire]

I don't think most men on here are misogynist. I just think they hate certain kinds of women, but not all women as a whole. It's the women's lib groups/feminists who are the most misogynist.

[AnonGiraffe]

2nd wave feminism destroyed the dynamics between men and women.

3rd wave feminism wants women to become men and men to be their slaves.

the only people you have to blame are feminists and the men who appease them instead of putting them in their place.

[NewsReader]

Now reverse the question and ask why women here are so misandristic.

[jarkitor]

On my short time here I've noticed a lot of non-progressive guys!

[HappyWoman34]

Me too! You have to be young, a virgin, beautiful, successful, obedient and chaste. What century are we living in? It sounds like the nineteenth century. Or the nineteen fifties all over again.

[HappyWoman34]

It’s not only women whose options narrow out with age, it’s also men’s, if they want to find someone who loves them. The pool of ‘perfect’ women that will want THEM by their thirties narrows down too.

[BarryLiverstone]

I’d say part of the reason you hear these things from so guys is that gag is worldwide and many cultures are represented here. Some of the examples you suggested I’ve also seen and they often come from guys in certain areas of the world and def don’t represent all men and what we want. Education is another factor

[jarkitor]

Yess!! Some people here are so narrow minded. Or want to troll!

[HappyWoman34]

@BarryLiverstone sounds like a sensible comment.

[Anonymous]

I don’t expect women to bring “perfection@ to the table. Hell, you can’t even expect them to bring you a beer and a bologna sandwich.

And if you’ve got your panties in a knot over “misogyny” try hearing about “toxic masculinity” for the past ten goddamn years.

[BarryLiverstone]

There are bad men and women, that’s never going to end

[Paul09]

Humans suck in general. So both sides have their wackos.

[Alex8736]

they can't even look at themselves in the mirror but with all these woke cults have them brainwashed by placing blame on women when in reality it's just pure ignorance and poor self reliance along with self induced drama they bring onto themselves

[DarkLegacy]

Sounds like what women do to men. Oh well it is no less then you deserve. Women on here and in general, are stuck up, self righteous, self important and so on and so on.

[Randalama]

We're not, we are simply becoming as indifferent toward you as you were taught to be toward us. Your ego renders you incapable of discerning the difference. This is not unusual.

[AngryCarl2]

I thought the idea of women's liberation was that you wouldn't have to rely on us flaky men anymore. That worked out didn't it?

[MrCommodore]

Some men perhaps, but not all.

[Dargil]

Why are many women on here so misandrist?

[KrakenAttackin]

**yawn**

[HappyWoman34]

True. Can’t disagree with that.

[KrakenAttackin]

What do we offer women? For starters, men built the world in which you live. Men designs, build, maintain, and improve everything that touches your life in the most basic way.

Men built the safest, wealthiest society, gave women the same and in fact more rights than men have. Men do all of the dirty, dangerous, and arduous jobs.

Now that the world is largely safe, wealthy, opportunity abounds, and women are more educated, wealthier, more educated, and more independent... how have women thanked men? With feminist nonsense, destruction of families, false accusations, and rants about how "men ain't shit".

What do men bring to the table? Let's start with the FACT that men BUILT the table and go from there.

[Guardian45]

Some men are, but don't write us all off.
