My feelings about men

724 replies

Name changed, obviously.

Im a regular on here although mostly lurking.

I was wondering how other people reconcile their feelings about how fucking awful the patriarchy is, how men as a group are basically toxic and even the 'good ones' have an incredibly low bar for being decent humans.

Im married, and seriously reconsidering it because I feel this ongoing utter despair at the myriad injustices I put up with. I would NEVER EVER pursue a relationship with a man if I did leave.

Anyone else feel the same? Is this normal?!

I wish mumsnet wouldn’t delete so many posts. I think I could withstand the shock of reading them.

crochetandshit · 25/01/2020 14:22

I don't give a shiny shit what men think of feminism.
You've spent your day making different accounts to post here and be a prick to multiple posters, insult us, tell us who we should be attracted to, that women are ruining the world, are just as bad as men and you post another load of offensive shite that happens to include the word sorry and you now want me/us to fawn?

The only actual thought I have regarding you, is whether or not you have access to a semi automatic weapon and if I thought there was a God, I would pray that you don't.

Not so much shock as eye rolling in this case.

crochetandshit · 25/01/2020 14:24

Like I say, I am not incel, Some women fancy me and I could get pussy tomorrow if I wanted it. I've had the offers

Grin Yeah, ok then

Ereshkigalangcleg · 25/01/2020 14:24

Okay, seeing as they love banning me, I will make this my final post. I am tired of making email addresses to be honest.

You still appear to be making posts? It's not a very good flounce if you don't even leave!

picklemeCleg · 25/01/2020 14:25

How fascinating. Comes on ranting and swearing, decides to leave on a positive note and is offended when we don't follow suit? Why would we say 'cheers, have a lovely life' to someone who spent the morning being as offensive as he could manage? Why would he think that? Men are odd.

Are all the email addresses CheckItOutIDestroyedThoseHorseFacedWitches @ bollocksmail.com?

SueEllenMishke · 25/01/2020 14:26

I have not been indoctrinated and also believe in equality for all. I know you don't believe it but, on the whole, women have not yet achieved equality in many parts of society. As a sociology graduate I'm surprised you can't understand that.

My husband is the biggest feminist I know. He gets it.... thankfully lots of other men do too.

crochetandshit · 25/01/2020 14:26

Women ARE as bad as men, that's what you're simply not getting. Maybe even, in this society, worse

Prove it.
Peer reviewed stats and that, not your mate who went to court.

picklemeCleg · 25/01/2020 14:26

My DH has lovely eyes. That was what first attracted me to him. He wouldn't have stood out in a room, but when you knew him well enough to look in his eyes, well! Still don't know what he saw in me, mind.

SueEllenMishke · 25/01/2020 14:27

I just knew you'd describe women as 'pussy'

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 25/01/2020 14:27

shooting innocent goat-herders from his state of the art helicopter far in the sky like.*

Bit too obvious there, mate. 2/10, must try harder.

crochetandshit · 25/01/2020 14:27

It's true. You probably fancy some ugly cunt like Ronaldo or Gosling

You're the one that keeps going on about these men Confused

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 25/01/2020 14:29

But his jaw, pickleme? Was it square enough? I assume there's a specific angle we're meant to be looking for. Perhaps a protractor concealed in the handbag would help us making better shagging decisions?

FleetsumNLangCleg · 25/01/2020 14:32

So you try to leave on a friendly note and post this:

I'm not shallow either ... I would happily date a woman who wasn't attractive if she seemed nice. A lot of women I like are in their 40s and 50s and 60s after all,despite me being in my thirties

and have no idea why backing it with Some of those 60 year olds are ugly and would be lucky to date me does not help your cause. Can't help you. Not at all.

picklemeCleg · 25/01/2020 14:35

I'll just nip and get my protractor, Prodigal. Hang on.

theflushedzebra · 25/01/2020 14:40

Like I say, I am not incel, Some women fancy me and I could get pussy tomorrow if I wanted it. I've had the offers

Begs the question - why you are wasting your time on here then - going on about Ryan Gosling? Grin

Perhaps you're waiting till tomorrow to take all those offers up...

JacquesHammer · 25/01/2020 14:43

So is the upshot of this, women is bad because the poor saps don’t fancy who Mr Incel wants us to fancy.

Yup, that level of debating is devastating.

feetfreckles · 25/01/2020 14:57

I don't like the abuse of goats and cats on this thread.

theflushedzebra · 25/01/2020 15:03

I'm still laughing at 'Gosling Derangement Syndrome' Grin

DuLANGMondeFOREVER · 25/01/2020 15:06

The rules of DARVO says our new buddy secretly has the hots for Ryan Gosling.

Antibles · 25/01/2020 15:10

This thread persuades me that many men's attitude to women can be summed up as: women would ideally have their mouths shut more and their legs open more.

Men's mileage then varies as to how angry they get about it not being thus.
