To hate most men?

I'm not speaking about the whole male population, of course, but they're so pig ignorant. Sexist, bullish with disgusting habits. I'm currently sat in a cafe and a man, looks to be in his 60's is doing that deep throaty sniff in and sneezed so loud, I almost choked on my fish. Then there are the men who spit in public. Earlier I endured a man constantly sniffing on the train for half an hour. Women are like this too, but men are far worse. Enduring these men is a daily occurrence.

No. Try again.

This is too easy.

No, it isn't. Because you were framing her as a victim, or at least as being led astray by Fred.

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.

Really?
There's a trans male performer in Scandinavia who used to say that he never realised how badly men treat women, until he became one... and this is Scandinavia where men treat women far, far better than in England or USA.

I'm not sure what you're saying "really?" in response to. Did I read a piece? Yes I did. https://substack.com/home/post/p-184726120

Do I think this site is becoming a depressing and miserable place to spend time? Yes I do. This thread is just one of many in which disgusting hateful bile is spread.

It's incredibly depressing and boring. I wish to God that they would keep it all in one place, as well. Like the 'Feminism' section.

I’m with you.
I know two decent men. That is all.
The rest are all shit.

Crikey what a coincidence that you know the only two decent men in existence.

Wiseplumant · 12/02/2026 14:34

YANBU ( though some women are pretty annoying too) I don't really like anybody.

FlyingApple · 12/02/2026 14:37

I agree with you totally, I adore my sons, DH etc but I am really fed up with a lot of men. Something is going very, very wrong with them.

FlyingApple · 12/02/2026 14:40

And my disclaimer is that I know men have a right to public spaces but the amount of men just in the street in groups, aimlessly doing nothing but standing there. I really hate it and I hate the way they watch young women as they walk past. I don't see groups of women doing this.

dopaminego · 12/02/2026 14:41

Fuck me - making excuses for the likes of Rose West and Myra Hindley is beyond the pail. And yes that is what you are doing. Absolutely shocking.

You don’t have to read threads that, from the title,
it‘s clear what it’s about. Posting isn’t compulsory. It’s not difficult to scroll on.

It is shocking. These people would do ANYTHING rather than admit a woman could be violent on her own accord.

You're crying aren't you.

Why do you give her her full name but refer to him as 'Fred'. Was he your friend? It sounds like you feel sorry for him.

The fuck? Why are you asking if she's crying?

It’s hilarious (in a depressing way) that any thread that talks about men being the shittier sex class (and they are by a country mile, statistically so), along with the inevitable NAMALT, the women do it too brigade always, ALWAYS mention Myra Hindley and Rose West. Always! Why is that? Because they are rare. They stand out. And have male co-accused. Would MH have carried out the horrific
crimes if it weren’t for Ian Brady? Doubtful. This is not excusing them, this is fact.

I could mention a hundred male murderers of women and you’d be like ‘who?!’. How many would have female co-accused calling the shots? Maybe some, but it’s not on the same level as men.

This doesn’t equate to women won’t and can’t cause serious harm. For the hard of thinking.

Maybe.

And you're still here. Talking to us.

You're not a hostage, babe. You can leave at any time.

If something is doubtful then it's not a fact.

For the hard of thinking.

I hate those men!!! They clearly think they and their needs are superior. Tossers.

Yep, & they’re even worse when they have an actual child in their trolley, & you’re just an older (& no longer awfully agile!) woman🙄.

Don't engage with it then. Instead we have a poster claiming Rose West's motivation was internalised misogyny - not being a despicable pervert then?

And the poster with the 'you're crying aren't you' stuff - utterly unhinged.

Oh God. Something can be doubtful, and still a fact.

Why would I not engage. I’m all for this thread, men being the more problematic sex class can’t be highlighted enough. I get it, I’m here for it. It’s the ‘stop hating men’ posters who can’t seem to be able to scroll on and find a thread that interests them. Or that by discussing shite men, it means woman can’t be shite either. Wild.

Of course we don't, how very dare you. Our farts smell like sugar candy, we never get in the way of people going about their business, we never EVER bully anyone, we are never abusive, and most importantly, if we do happen to err and do something bad, it's a man's fault. Always.
