I've started to hate men...

...since my divorce I realise I have subtlety started to hate men. When I take my child to their football class I get so irritated by the dad's standing in a group talking to eachother...if I over hear them talking about their wives I manage to find it derogatory.

If I have to talk to my son's PE make teacher I'm a bit disgusted by him as I find him too friendly and feel like he's flirting with me. He's probably not.

I ask for advice off my dad and I'm just displeased with it and feel like it's because he's a man and doesn't understand.

I hung out with my male friend and he was totally incapable of offering any sort of support when I was telling him about something difficult in my life. (This was only a small part of hanging out, the light conversion was fine. And I was absolutely able to support him with some stuff that he was going through and I could see I helped him)

I feel like most men are socially inept in comparison to women. I find them uncaring and shallow.

Is this a phase? Or have I just been disillusioned?

I think you know the answer to this. It's like saying most women are insert trait here in comparison to men.

Likewise you can't put an entire sex (or any individual for that matter) on a pedestal.

I know, they just seem so dysfunctional whilst an army of women in the background raise the kids, work and keep the household going. Add in arrogance, control freakery, sexual assaults and violence and it's the icing on the cake.

It's a phase. I remember after getting my divorce from my abusive exH every time I saw a happy couple I wanted to scream 'don't get married!!!' and just felt angry generally. Takes awhile to work through all that, I think after a couple of years I was far better. There are some really good men out there!
