Page 8 | 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.

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

YANBU

Even the men I think are good and decent almost always turn out to be vile pigs in some way or another. There's generally always a kind of 'light bulb' moment when they say or do something which reveals their true colours and you think "Ah, okay, there it is. This one's just like all the others"

MyLittleNest · 11/02/2026 14:45

Agree, OP. YANBU. Most are overgrown teenagers, oblivious/clueless at best, inconsiderate at worst. Most are incapable of taking care of themselves much less anyone (or anything) else. The ones who are more evolved REALLY stand out.

Disliking half the population and preemptively despising them based on their sex is the very definition of bigotry and prejudice. All you're doing is spewing hate.

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.

-Online, 1 in 3 UK women (36%) have faced abuse, increasing to 62% for ages 18-24.

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 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.

My make lodger blocked my loo with the biggest shit,then went off to work.
Ignored my calls of panic as I had the house in the market and was expect ing viewers. I had to get a coat hanger and prod about to chop it up. Absolutely vile.
He left later that month. Never again

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.

Have a read of the thread on Relationships where apparently all men are sexually attracted to 'fertile 15/16 years olds' and see if you don't hate men after that.

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.

You think a thread about misogyny is depressing and miserable? Try living somewhere with one of the highest femicide rates in Europe and come back to me.😒

NotnowMildrid · 11/02/2026 17:28

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

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

That's so disgustingly ageist.

Middle aged women doing nothing but shopping at the supermarket and you've decided they are misandrist? 🙄

Get a fucking grip.

Ooh three whole women were allowed to progress to Prime Minister.

Thank you man-kind. 💐

Do we judge all men now on Boris?

We are all collectively TRAUMATISED by men

If you're talking about your select group of friends @LouiseMadetheBestBroccoliPasta then you have my sympathy...you seem to have had a particularly shit run of luck with quite so many extreme experiences. However, your comment reads as if you're talking about us 'all'. And if so, no, we're really not.

Don't get me wrong, i've definitely experienced misogyny from some unpleasant men and it's a problem that needs addressing. I've been beeped at by 'white van men', talked down to by a select few douchebags in my male-dominated workplace. And having your arse pinched in busy clubs in my late teens was unavoidable. Yeuchh. Plus encountered the 'smile love' arseholes once or twice.

But posts like those outlining multiple experiences of being leered at since 11, nearly being raped many times, chased by men, wanked at, groped, having groups of men shout at you...well, I simply cannot relate at all.

I absolutely sympathise but framing this experience of life around men and so many horrendous, extreme experiences as 'common', implying we're all living in fear and experiencing the same kind of journey is just simply untrue ime.

Me neither. Nor my friends. I think that this site attracts extremists, and also some incredibly stupid people.

I think a lot is just human nature - men are wired to put their needs first whereas (most) women put others before themselves. Also testosterone must play a part in some of their behaviours… I don’t know if that excuses the burping or farting in public though! 🤣

Where are all these women who are constantly putting others first!? It's a myth.

@Gahr Well you said it. You and your friends are probably of that ilk who are too stupid to know that you have had terrible experiences with men.

It's ok love, us 'extremists' will carry it for you. Fucking idiot.
