Sharing too much?

So I am with a man who loves me so much but ever since I started seeing and hearing things about woman being raped and sometimes there was no justice for them I would get so angry and over time I started hating men and vowing that I would never be with one for long. All I wanted was a baby girl and nothing to do with men and I shared all this with my boyfriend and he just gets more angry with me and wants me to change. Bs I am raised a muslim and it frustrates me on how they treat their woman. Anyway I hate ranting my hate towards men to him and would like to talk to people like me. I have no friends because I don't think anyone could understand me. I was just wondering if anyone here wants to just talk sometimes? Thank you for taking the time to read. Have a good day.

Sharing too much?

It is misandry though isn't it? Am I missing something?

Dictionary definition

Misandry - dislike of, or contempt for, or ingrained prejudice of the male sex.

Op says she hates men.

FloraFox · 30/10/2014 10:55

So rather than actually trying to help the OP, some people think this most important thing is to jump in with "change yourself" and insist that she acknowledge NAMALT (not all men are like that).

Hopeibra I don't think this thread will help you and I agree with AsAMan that the pub might be a good place.

Misandry? Oh dear god.

OP, which region of the UK do you live in? There are lots of women's groups specifically set up by and for Muslim women I could signpost you to, if you wanted a uniquely Muslim viewpoint.

It's not unusual for women who first see the inherent sexism in society to feel this kind of anger. It does go with time.

hopibra, try the FWR pub. You'll have fewer people lecture you about misandry ffs. www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/2201568-Feminist-pub-no-12-The-Bluestocking-Returns-this-time-with-goats?msgid=

^^ this what motherofdragons said

I was raped and I hate that man and what he did to me. I'm now happily married to a man who loves and respects me. The two are separate and I can't hate dh or my male friends because of one nasty one. I have also worked with some sexist men and some amazing men. My only advice is to not allow anyone to put you down and show through your actions that you are equal and deserve respect. Anyone who refuses to give you that is not worth your time.

Talk 'with'

UriGeller · 30/10/2014 10:10

I think the OP needs other people to talk about her issues with who can maybe help her understand the difference between misandry and feminism.

Hopeibra, can you talk some more about how men give you cause to feel? do you see that there are a lot of loving, equal relationships between men and women in the world? Also that we give birth to boys who become men do how is it okay to hate all men?

maddy68 · 30/10/2014 10:01

I think she needs help and sounds depressed. So yes I think she should seek help.
Ruining relationships and having no friends is not healthy for her and I think she has underlying issues here apart from her anger.
Yes I had question marks over her boyfriends anger too. That's why I suggested she went to a specialist rather than seek help here where no one can voice an opinion without personal comments

AsAMan · 30/10/2014 09:35

I shared all this with my boyfriend and he just gets more angry with me and wants me to change

So you suggest she should change. And speak to a doctor about her mental health. Fabulous.

AsAMan · 30/10/2014 09:32

*there
Also the op doesn't "admit" any such thing maddy. Read her post again.

maddy68 · 30/10/2014 09:32

Just re read that. I don't mean to suggest you are mentally ill, it's just that the doctors have lots of options available through their mental Heath programmes!

Or you can just post here but I would suggest that often you get a very narrow view point on here and not always a balanced arguement

I think you arerojecting your insecurities onto your partner who you admit is nothing like the men you feel anger towards

You know this irrational right?

Have you considered councilling? Hating men in general is not normal
Having no friends us also not normal, it sounds like you are pushing people away.
I would suggest a visit to your gp to see if they can offer councilling or similar as this is disproportionate and I would suggest requires some mental health intervention.
