To hate most men?

@LondonLass61
"I’m older now (entering my wise witch phase obvs) and I think that the next evolution of humans should involve women running everything - they do most of it now, but it should actually be recognised and encouraged."

There have been three female English prime ministers: Thatcher, May, and Truss. Which one would you welcome back? Just asking.

I think some middle-aged+ woman can be like this, particularly in supermarkets. They’re the miserable stones looking type.

I actually read a very interesting piece recently in which a woman described how she lived for year with intense misandry. She said it was remarkable that she could say truly horrific stuff about men and no one would ever challenge her. It was only when she started therapy and went on medication for (I think) anxiety that she began to realise it.

I think many women here say things about men which they would never tolerate about any other group of people. They certainly object to even the slightest criticism of women. But at least once a week there is a thread exactly like this one encouraging people to post hate.

Honestly this site is becoming a very miserable and depressing place to spend time.

For someone bleating on about misogyny, ironically, your post is patronising as fuck @LouiseMadetheBestBroccoliPasta. You might want to think about why that is. What's mansplaining called when a woman does it?

Anyway. Your patronising and statistic filled rant was unnecessary. Your reading comprehension appears poor enough to have missed my point and your desire to hammer home yours has resulted in you taking my words, inventing meaning that wasn't there and attempting to give me a lesson I don't need.

Someone once said it should be called The News of Men instead of The News at Ten.
Men run and ruin the world.

YABVVU. You don't know most men. Don't hate an unknown sector of society. That's what racists and misogynists do. They think refugees stole our jobs and women are all after one thing: a man's wallet, so we can lounge around. It's nonsense. Just as it is nonsense to assume all men are seedy and abusive. The ones who are become newsworthy. But there are many men out there quietly getting on with life, kind to their kids, their partners, their neighbours and friends, contributing in the community, paying their taxes, mowing their lawns etc.

On balance, I know more good men than bad.

You must have lived a sheltered life, I envy you.

You also have internalised misogyny. You would rather disbelieve women, or think they must have brought rape and daily intimidation and disrespect on themselves. Because otherwise it's a scary thought that means you are vulnerable too.

If you refuse to believe individual women, or women collectively telling their stories, look at the statistics for the UK alone. I won't bother putting the sources, you can look them up:

-56% of women have taken safety measures like using phones as props or carrying keys as weapons in the past year

• 47% of girls aged 11-21 feel unsafe due to misogyny
• 2.2 million women/girls over 16 in England and Wales experienced domestic abuse last year. That's 7 percent of that population, more than1 in 20.
• 97% of women aged 18-24 report lifetime sexual harassment. Only 4% reported an incident to the police. Last year, 8% of women experienced sexual harassment. This rises to 23% for women aged 16-24.

These are MILLIONS of women who are being beaten, raped, harrassed, intimidated, abused annually. They form a HUGE swathe of the female population. Do you really think it's just a few deviant men who are doing this? It's not. It's at least a large minority, and then there's another large minority of men on top of who don't do ANYthing when they witness their friends making horrible comments about women or talking about sex their wife owes them or 'joking' that they they would "do her" when a young woman walks past.

I get it, it is actually impossible, when you live in a patriarchy, to not have it distort your thinking about women and behaviour to women. But that means every decent human has the responsibility to recognise the effects of patriarchical thinking on their own views and to fight against it within themself.

That includes you. Or would you rather continue thinking that women are making it all up, because then YOU feel safe?

For those who have likened my post to racism, get over yourselves! Racism involves a marginalised group of people, disliking men doesn't.

Honestly I think men have been rendered obsolete by evolution. We should just get rid of them except for a few who could be kept in captivity so that their sperm can be extracted for breeding purposes.
The world would be a much happier and productive place if it was populated entirely by women.

I’m just trying to picture the replies on a thread titled AIBU to hate most women… yeah, I think I can see how that would work out.

One of the numerous reasons I never had children was because of the possibility of having a boy so I for one would totally understand the disappointment.

I said not all men, so think what you want, and you can fuck the fuck off too.

Hm.... one small post is hardly much. Just wait when women start killing and abusing men to the scale you tripods are at it! Men are responsible for 99% of all grapes, child x abuse, murders, assaults, attacks, robberies....
