Fear and hatred -- for anything -- is often based on something as simple as not knowing and not understanding anything about that which is being hated and feared.

I've noticed a lot of people here who lash out at the other gender simply because they have no conception of the fact that the other gender consists almost entirely of genuine human beings.

It's become practically a cottage industry to perpetuate questions such as "Why Do All Men _____?" and "Why Are All Women _______?" -- to the detriment of those who realize that the differences aren't nearly as gargantuan as some would like us to believe.

And, yeah, it's definitely a red flag to anyone who is looking for a partner, and not a psychological disorder waiting to happen.

I think a person's writing can be pretty darn revealing, if you're paying attention....!!

I need to find a small animal to kill

Im so upset about this I just punched 2 holes in the wall and threw a chair out the window.

Gee, from the other side of the coin, I also wonder how many women just don't like men; or are so bitter from past hurts/harm done to them by men that it embitters them towards most of the male species.

For example, when some women act like b!tches (when many men love anyway) and do not feel like being nice, they blame it on men.

If they do not feel like being lady-like, they blame it on "women's liberation"/"feminism" and the need to appear and act masculine in order to achieve the same things in life men have. They want to compete with men on men's terms, when women are unique in and of themselves.

They are afraid of leaning on, depending on, becoming emotionally and even a tad physically vulnerable with a man, for fear of being labeled "a doormat", "weak", "unliberated", "old-fashioned", overly dependent/co-dependent, or a "victim".

I'm happy, content, fulfilled, and proud to be an "old-fashioned girl", despite being a man-loving feminist.

Some of the things I see gals writing about men just implies, to me, a deep-seated dislike of the entire gender.

So to you gals who are writing that stuff, know that men and bi women are noticing. I can't speak for them or for other bi women, but I would never date a gal who does not like men.

Just don't like women.

I never noticed until I joined this site.

If they don't feel like being "nice" - they blame it on women.
If they don't feel like being chivalrous - they say that women killed chivalry.
The are insecure- so they complain about independent women.

are you a male using a female avatar? Just curious.

That's funny. No. I am a college educated, bisexual 3rd wave feminist female with a professional degree. An expert in human behavior; someone who has had both extensive experience as both a married and a single woman in today's day and age. Someone who has provided cpunseling and psychotherapy to men, women, couples, and children and who has a fond interest in other cultures, nature, science, and the arts. A woman at the peak of her life who owns her own home, car, and is raising her child on her own. A sensual female with a partner she loves and who loves her, in addition to friends of the most loyal variety. That is who I am.

Who are you?

What surprises me is how many of you felt that I was angry at men; or trying to start a fight of some kind. I merely made an observation based on my perusal of numerous posts here. I also never said that this applies only to men, and that there aren't women who are that way as well. I just don't pay as much attention to the women's posts in that vein, since I don't intend to date women. This thread was about my noticing how many men don't like women. That is all.

I never said "all men" or "most men". I merely noted that there were more than I had imagined; and thought they could benefit from knowing that potential dates are reading what they are saying.

After reading some of the replies, I think people may have misunderstood my original post.
