AIBU to think that all men are…

[Millie2008]

… really pretty useless?! Well not all men I’m sure.
But a lot of them.
I just feel like I’m seeing examples of useless men
every way I turn…
-weaponised incompetence
-childishness
-selfishness
-carelessness
the list goes on…

I feel like once you see it you can’t unsee it. Friends, family, personal experience, out in public, everywhere!

Happy to be proved wrong

I was just thinking, I’m not sure I can ever go back
to dating men. At my stage of life they will likely be divorced men. And all I’ll be thinking is what did you do to piss your ex off enough to want to leave you…

If her post was sexist, it would have been deleted. So your shaming of a woman is unnecessary.

Did you miss the part where she said it didn’t work? Hardly a secret to success.

It shouldn’t be up to women to build up men anyway.

I'm sorry?

You're far from new to Mumsnet.

You know full well all the 'I hate all men' posts are left to stand.

Don't pretend they get deleted.

Well yes, that's just what I strongly suspect too. 😊

Her post is inherently sexist. She should at least own it (maybe she does).

If you say all men or all women are useless, that’s inherently sexist.

If someone said all [insert race] were useless, presumably you’d view that as racist?

Well the same applies.

Currently going through a separation with 2 children 1 of whom have significant disabilities. Now the separation is definitely going ahead, the kids dad has totally checked out and is happy to sit back whilst I carry all of the load to move the separation forward at the same time as all the day to day stuff

Not many women working on oil rigs or building skyscrapers.

Or restoring a town's electricity during a thunderstorm in the middle of the night.

Indeed, not many women can change a car tyre unassisted (I'd estimate maybe 5% can manage it, max).

So I guess we have to rely on useless men to do all that? 🙄

Oh definitely, we’re still best friends after all these years and still do lots together

It doesn't make it OK to try to control and manipulate people, just because you don't succeed at it.

Who said it was up to women to build up men? If some/all men are not acceptable to you, nobody is forcing you in any way to have a relationship with them - if they are, that's a police matter.

Except she didn’t say she tried to control and manipulate her husband, you’ve made that up.
