Found on the Net (the author is a woman):
I’m a virgin, nearing thirty, and I despise straight men…
…I’m a pretty honest person. I’m a misandrist, and I despise most men…
…Then again, I don’t think it’s a big deal, because men in general really hate women. They don’t treat them well, or equally. Ugly and fat women, such as myself, are derided and despised. Beautiful women who have sex and show off their fantastic bodies are derided and despised. Mothers with stretchmarks and wrecked vaginas are made fun of, flawed girls have those flaws shoved in their face constantly, and every day, instead of being treated like actual human beings, women are subjected to comparison with some impossible feminine ideal. One out of three women is raped or sexually assaulted in her lifetime – treated like nothing more than a public toilet rather than a being who deserves respect. This is not the act of a kind and loving gender. Men are, in general, neither kind nor loving towards women.
And for some reason, it’s always the woman’s fault.
Forget the 1st, 2nd and 4th paragraphs. Focus on the third paragraph. Is she right? Do we really hate women this much? Do we really treat them so horribly? I shudder to think.
I do not know the answers to those questions, but I remember thinking around my high school and college years that most males didn’t really like females all that much. The proof in the pudding was in the fact that whenever males had any free time, they spent it with their male buddies, not with their girlfriend or other females. Now sure perhaps they loved having sex with their girlfriends, and perhaps they were even in love with them (or said they were), but other than that, I always got the feeling that most guys in general would prefer to spend most of their free time around guys rather chicks.
And if it’s really true that this is the way most males treat females (including presumably their wives and girlfriends whom they profess to love), then we must ask the question if most men really and truly do love their female lovers at all? Because the behavior described in paragraph 3 is not loving treatment. That’s not the way you treat someone you love. Sorry.
