Go on, who doesn't think all men are b*stards?

[darcysotherhalf]

Call me crazy, call me anti feminist but - who doesn't think all men are b*stards?

it seems like there is a complete lack of empathy with the other sex, which, considering us females professing to be open minded and more sympathetic, it surprising.

so, who doesn't think men are to blame for the state of world, the universe and everything?

who, for want of better word, considers them just part of the human race to which we all belong?

for those of you with sons, including me, i'd hate to think of men as stereotypically 'male': i.e., dominating, unable to multitask and relate to others. 'cos thats a hell of a negative role for boys to brought up with.

hm, dh drives me crazy in lots of typically male ways, but he's not a bastard. Not at all. None of my ex-boyfrds were, either.

Pramspotter: You are Valerie Solanus and I claim my £5.

I have a nice DH (now).

Actually quite a few women are bloody horrible now you come to mention it.

I don't think all men are bs, mine's not one, he's just an irritating old wa*er at times
No seriously, not all of them are affected by the arsehole gene I don't think

It doesn't help that every little thing a man does wrong - often when he has been trying to help - is reported on here to echoing expostulations of "MEN!" This helps to reinforce the stereotype.

On the other hand I admit that I have quite enjoyed reading people's stories of lying, cheating, lazy, inconsiderate slobs who don't lift a finger to help, don't know what a washing machine is, and bugger off to football/pub all weekend. It reminds me that, no matter what I do wrong, I will never be that bad!

UQD I see what you mean. When I am feeling a bit frustrated with DH and then I come on here I realise how lucky I am.

But it wouldn't do to let him compare himself to all the useless men reported on here. He would get too complacent.

my DH and my grandfather are both fantastic guys, and if my sons are half the men they are when they grow up, i'll be very happy.

and for any man-haters- what about your sons? Are they destined to be cheating, lying shits aswell?
