To increasingly feel like men are more of a hindrance than anything else

[Windiscrazytoday]

They are responsible for so many evils in the world in comparison to females
The females I know are just so much more capable and emotionally stable
I love Dh but often find myself helping him to regulate his emotions or balancing things on days out to keep the mood good for the Dc
My father, I adore, but my mother's life has not been easy with him in many aspects

Is this a peri/late 40's thing?

Feel like I'm seeing how things really are and it isn't great

Lady, I’m still cringing from your original post.

Pointing out one person won’t change the fact that women have been involved in the development of many things we use daily, including tech, alongside men.

Sorry, what was factually wrong in joke she sent? Factually wrong?

I love men. My Dad is amazing

One person? Sorry, what is factually wrong in the message she sent? Which bit?

Whenever I watch Saving Lives at Sea I think it shows men at their best. I live inland but I thank heavens for such brave and selfless men. Yes I do know the volunteers consist of women too.

I could, but it’s all wrong and I don’t want to get insulting

Sorry, I didn’t see the ‘joke’ bit!!

And all those men are........

Created by women. Raised by women. Shaped by women. Loved by women. Nurtured by women. Blossomed because of women. Had their careers because of women. Successful because of women. Exist because of women.

ALSO, as has been said, many women will be involved in all of the things you mention too. And some men will NOT ever be involved in any of that!

Oh, and women can read and write and spell too, and the REALLY clever ones can even count to 50! 😂

I agree with a pp, that word salad your Eastern European friend sent you is so cringeworthy. It's actually a bit embarrassing. I can't believe you actually thought this would serve as some kind of GOTCHA! 😆

The post is so beneath expending energy on because it’s so very silly. Astounded that someone wrote that.

The only semi correct part is hard physical labour, and women are heavily involved in that too, especially agriculture. Speechless

So I have to throw my husband AND 10 year old son out?!

I misunderstood too! I didn’t realise the poster said it was a joke! Now I’m looking at it, it’s obviously a joke. A normal person couldn’t possibly believe that was a factual description of how the world works. I work in an industry that covers most of the jobs that person describes so I know first hand that’s a very black and white way of looking at things. I could describe the same stuff in a way (that’s factually true), that men do all the unintelligent grunt work and all the women do the clever maths and engineering bits, the planning, the project management, the physics, chemistry, etc. But, despite it being factually true in my industry and company, it’s not a true reflection of the complex world we are living in.

Well, I’m giving the poster the benefit of the doubt by saying it’s a joke. Otherwise they’re a bit thick!!

But again, this puts the onus back on women, instead of the men just stepping up and not being like that in the first place. Can't you see that? Women should support one another, surely

Weekly isn't often enough in my opinion🤣

Victim blaming language tbh. Most women don’t choose shitty men, they are born to them and are often tricked into marrying them.

If we were doing what some of them do there’d be a curfew for women. To those saying they know some “bitter women”, does that really compare to the rape, sexual assault, paedophilia, murder, domestic abuse and misogyny visited upon us by men? It’s not your fault you’re expressing this view - you’ve grown up in a misogynist society and internalised it, but really, have a think. Jeez.

This is ridiculous, trying to blame men's cruelty and abuses on women and girls for not 'choosing' better.
I suppose as a child, I should have 'chosen' not to have a sexually abusive stepfather? Quite often, women and girls have little choice in the things that men do to them.

Exactly! The shame is on them not us. Women aren't putting up with what our mothers and grandmothers put up with anymore and the divorce stats are enough to support that.

I have an incredible, supportive husband, who pulls more than his own weight, and a lovely, thoughtful son – but I still agree that men, on the whole, are too often a net negative. After all, just look at prison populations. If men suddenly ceased to exist, then the crime rate would be a fraction of what it was. Yes, women can be nasty and cruel, and they can commit crimes, but nowhere near at the same rate as men.

You’re clearly not one bit sorry for her with your sarcastic emoji. Smug. Check your hard drive and see how smug you are then. Ignorance is bliss.

👏

As predicted the usual bitter, twisted, misandry on here. No wonder so many are “choosing” to be single.

I'm so over men. Married twice and like you, OP, the best man in my life was my (late) father. Kind, intelligent, funny, clean, tidy, a good husband... he wasn't perfect but by God he was outstanding compared to the emotionally retarded men I married. I do blame myself for my choices, but you live and learn. The under you get, the less you need them and the less you tolerate them. I pray my son is a better man than them. The last relationship ended when I was called a cunt. No regrets.
