To hate most men?

[Carlie97]

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.

I think it's around 97/98% of sex crimes that men are responsible for. No, not all men are rapists and perverts but the vast majority of perverts, murderers, paedos, violent crime perpetrators and rapists are men.

I honestly think that, one day, when humanity is in dire straits, it might just be a good idea to assess them all, pick the good ones and castrate the rest. As much for their own good as for all the women and children of the world. I mean, we castrate problem dogs, cats and horses 😅

I don’t hate most men but I am weary of most people usually men

Creepy thread.

I love most men, because the majority of them are decent.

And yes, I did survive DV.

To be fair, people blocking items annoy me, if you want to browse, do so from a distance, don't block access to the item for those who just want to pick it up and buy it.

What a horrible depressing sexist thread. So men hate women which society sees as unacceptable, but women hating men is ok?

My dh is lovely, we’ve been married for 28 years. I also have male friends who are kind, funny and respectful. I’ve had more issues with female friends in the past, some of whom have let me down or been bitchy or two faced. But that doesn’t lead me to think that the female sex is ‘bad’.

Everyone has some good and bad in them, male or female. I believe that most people are generally decent.

My ex husband used to sit and clip his toenails on the sofa, put the clippings in his dressing gown pocket and leave them there so that when I unknowingly washed the dressing gown his toenail clippings would be all over and stuck to my clean washing.
Despite my disgusted reaction he never stopped.
Expect he is still doing it now but at least it isn’t my problem anymore.

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

YANBU @Carlie97.

I’ve had to start standing on the train near the door as the amount of men with a cold who just need to blow their nose, but instead make disgusting noises makes me sick. I have 2 sons, but I of course love, but I do agree I find most men grim. I do need to tame my anti men comments in front of my 17yr old DD though.

Same here. So interesting that 50 seems to be the age when this happens to many of us.

I’m especially repulsed by a lack of care to finger and toe nails. The horrible claw like appearance of some men’s nails makes me shudder with disgust.

I find a lot of men dull, particularly the older ones. I can’t say I hate them, because I don’t like to make that kind of sweeping statement, but I don’t want or need their company or attention anymore. And I am sick of the old men ruining the world. And repulsed by their porn habits and violence of all ages of man.

In my early adult years, I was married to a controlling male that dumbed me down to a shadow of the woman I was really aching to be… that relationship came to an end, as I considered it to be a crime to live my (one) life in a state of misery and cowering.

Years and years later, after I’d tried to be in relationships that nourished me, and failing, I finally met a man who is everything to me and I’m finally who I’m meant to be.

He told me years ago that he thought men could (and usually are) be disgusting, and he also believes that on the whole, women should be running the country and other organisations that affect the rest (the majority) of society.

I do know of decent guys that are quietly considerate, are lovely partners to their wives… but sadly, very few.

i can see why you have the opinion that you do, and if your up til now experiences have brought you to that conclusion, yanbu to have the opinion you express.

To other pp that have mostly experienced decent guys, well that’s so nice, but maybe because you have had that positive experience, it’s hard (impossible) for you to understand the OPs viewpoint.

OP, I’m sorry that you have not yet have had the joy of knowing a guy that you feel you can admire and respect… don’t give up hope.
I was probably like you, twenty five years ago, so I can see your point.

Try not to let your bad experiences cloud your view too much, coz the good guys shouldn’t bear the blame for the chaos that the bad (idiots) guys cause.

Men are guided by their dicks

you only have to look at the Epstein file / news and it’s all men mainly abusing women for sex

Most famous & powerful men in particular are brought down by sex

I tell my husband that even if he loses his mind as he ages, he should hold onto the one thought that when he walks around outside the house he should keep his mouth clamped firmly shut rather than having it gaping as so many old men do. I have said I will endeavour to do the same. Most of all, I dislike middle aged men who, despite plenty of evidence to the contrary, suddenly think they have developed a wit to rival Oscar Wilde and laugh at their own pathetic jokes - which are usually aimed at unamused women

Remembering my user name, I should say my husband and sons are largely men with good manners.

YANBU.

I can beat that.
My ex-husband had bowel/pooping problems (think constipation - but of course never actually went to a doctor to try to sort it out). He used to poop in the shower - I think he used to pull it out 😳. Bad enough, but how did i know?
Because i would get in the shower and there would be lumps of poo in there, in the folds of the shower curtain 🤮
When I pointed out how disgusting this was, he said it wasn't his fault because he couldn't see it - he had very bad eyesight and obviously didn't wear his glasses whilst showering .
It never occurred to him to put his glasses on after showering and clean up the poo!!
This wasn't a one off either...
Unsurprisingly that killed off all sexual desire, and then, eventually, the marriage.

Not all men, but too fucking many ...

Good for you. These men never stand up to the group despite knowing the behaviour is unacceptable. What was the other reptile trying to say to your daughter? They were also probably doing this to make you uncomfortable as they knew you most likely wouldn’t say anything so it’s a form of intimidation and demonstration of their power - simply by being men in a group. The same brigade who leer out of car windows, but never alone. Pathetic.

Absolutely yanbu

Just yesterday I was in a pharmacy and had to bend down to the lower racks to find what I was looking for.

The was a man standing not right next to me, but close enough for me to get that disgusting whiff from him. As I bent down, I realised he had farted.

How is that okay. That is disgusting. You are not 2 years old and can't keep it in. Go find the toilet you revolting human.

I am still annoyed about it.

I'm in my 50s too and my tolerance for men is very low.

Oh my god.

He shat in the shower! 😶

Looking back now do you also wonder how on earth you tolerated that?

I don’t hate them but I have to really work at it. Between my ex-husband, the average plonker you meet on dating sites and the contents of the Epstein files I really don’t think a man will ever touch me again.

It’s the entitlement of everyday men that winds me up the most.. little things like not giving way in the car when they should do, stepping in front of you in shops, going first… not to mention the unpaid invisible labour we all end up doing that they would never acknowledge. I don’t want a relationship with one, I really don’t.

I wouldn't hate men for sniffing etc. That seems a very minor reason to do so. Sounds like you have long standing issues against men anyway.

YABU and you're a bigot.

This kind of thread is no more reasonable than one titled "to hate most immigrants/jews/muslims/etc"

My MIL is in her 70s and has been divorced for decades. She's not looked for another partner because she says that men of her generation expect to be waited on. From observing FIL I see her point.
