I bet you wish you hadn't started this thread op, a very emotive subject with many coming in with different perspectives.
As far as sticking up for men as a whole I think I would reserve judgement op till you are older, a full life or a long life can change your views, whether it be poor partners or even poor children who behave unkindly to elderly parents.
Male and females can be bad.
Honestly, the worst I've seen with women is poor motherhood, afairs, putting men before children, substance abuse, (in some cases to cope with abuse from men) and lower level gambling, and theft, this is personally, whereas up to now with men I've known, many gamblers, alcoholics, serial cheaters, theives, involved with drugs, men who abandon their children, 1 bigamist, sexual abusers, 2 pedophiles, domestic violence abusers, including 1 woman who commited suicide due to DA, and 3 men who have murdered their partners.
The list goes on and these abhorant features you realise as you age become more numerous as the failings of their cover ups begin to show. In other words many of these men appear quite normal when young and as they age they are found out and the ability to keep their mask on deteriorates.
And this is not a class thing, I've known all classes, some wealthy some not be affected.
Men are really are different species, the really hard discoveries I should imagine are when the mother's and children of these men become exposed. If you think it's just wives and partners, think again.
I could cry for some of the atrocities that men have commited and you want to start a thread on a predominantly female safe space site to promote their goodness, well, we all know many good ones and those good ones recognise that this type of forum is for us the women who want to support and uplift one another and also protect any future abuse happening to women.
We will warn and warn till the cows come home.
We are women and can be magnificent and be empathetic towards our fellow women, even those who fall under the spell of bad men.
