To think most women on here hate men

Sorry for the rant but I’m noticing a pattern on mn, any post involving a man and a disagreement results in multiple calls of he’s a narcissist, he’s abusing, he’s controlling, leave the bastard!

I’ll admit that a list of posts do involve behaviour that is not nice from dh and dp. So many posts also can be interpreted in many ways too, I just feel like a large number of women jump to the worst conclusion first about a strangers partner, having only one side of a story told in a short version.

for anyone misunderstanding me, if a post says the partner is hurting physically, calling names, cheating, putting the op down, then yes I agree, ltb (so long as the post is true) it’s when a post says “great relationship, today partner upset me and we couldn’t see eye to eye” and everyone calls the poor guy a narcissist etc

Yeah there are a lot of women shacked up with utter shits as far as I can see. I like my DH, but he’s not horrible, abusive or lazy. I think most women can’t bear to see other women treated like shit. Thats a good thing.

Of course it’s a good thing to protect each other, but what if you posted about a trivial argument, and everyone told you he was abusing you and said leave him? Some people would trust the online advice and leave the poor bloke for no real reason

I agree that this does sometimes happen and the advice to ‘leave the bastard’ for the slightest thing is over the top, however most of the posts are indeed about absolute A-holes. I don’t hate men at all however I do find them quite irritating but I think that’s my age (I’m happily married btw).

I’m not disputing the ones where it’s obvious they are, it’s the ones where poster and hubby have argued, yes over reacted but everyone says he’s abusive and leave him, if we all did this with every argument and hurt feeling nobody would stay together long

Yeah but sometimes it’s things like being called a cunt or a stupid fat bitch. To me that is abusive. I’ve had some blazing rows with my husband and we have never verbally abused each other. I’ve been in some truly shit relationships and been called all sorts of names and yes they would have all made for awful husbands who would have made me miserable.

To be fair I think a lot of men are selfish arseholes. I’ve never really met a woman who is as selfish as the worst men I’ve met. That’s not to say women can’t be horrible - my own Mum was vile- but generally women still do the lions share of everything at home and then some.

So many of them are awful though! Am becoming seriously jaded!

A lot of the men posted about on here are absolute cunts, to be fair.

So are many of the women.
And alot of mum netters are bullies.

I know exactly what you mean. My DH moaned at me for not emptying to hoover the other day and I had a giggle about what MN would have had to say 🤣😂🤣

Spoiler: I never empty it as it’s gross.

Thankyou! It’s about 1 in 10000 women on here who don’t default to “ltb” on every post where it’s looking like a normal couple argument

Frankly, the world would be a better place if the male partners of pretty much every poster on the Relationships board were instantly pulverised.
