"Many straight men dislike women but they like sex, so they deal with them to get it."
Kat, I think you've gone off the deep end with this statement. Men can have sex with women they are only mildly interested in, but that does not mean they don't like women. In general, men are able to separate sex and love better than women can. That does not mean that "many straight men dislike women". That is an absurd statement!
I didn't say that YOU dislike women or that ALL straight men dislike women, did I? Are you telling me that you've never met a man who disliked women but liked sex? I certainly have and their attitudes and actions made it very plain.
But if the comment doesn't apply to you personally, then why take it personally?
Do you mean much like the man who has sex with the the girl who is called the town slut, or who participates in a gang bang, or who even uses prostitutes? He may disrespect and even harbor a dislike for her, but he still has sex with her.
Or the husband who repeatedly cheats on his wife, or the player who deceives women to have sex with them. We could go on. Just because a man doesn't become violent with women doesn't mean that he likes women. There are all kinds of ways to show disdain and disrespect.
The truth is, us northerners will do anything to keep warm during those long, hard, winter months and if that means show all and get some warming action going to prevent frostbite, ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
Kat, I didn't take it personally. Your post made it sound like you have a big chip on your shoulder when it comes to men. The number of men that dislike women are in the MINORITY. They are about 0.00000001% of the population. By saying there are many, you imply that there is one on every street corner. There are also women that dislike men, but again they are in the minority.
Yes, there are men who cheat on their wives, but there are also the same number of women who cheat on their husbands. Yes, there are players who deceive women, but there are also women who deceive men. I don't know if you really think these things are one sided, but I am just pointing out that men and women equally do bad things to each other.
Yes, but the subject was and IS how men feel about women, or a specific part of a woman, not the other way around.
And it sounds as if you did take the comment to heart. Most women AND men acknowledge that there are those of their sex who don't like the opposite sex for various reasons, perhaps even seemingly good reasons.
I am married to a great guy who loves and respects women, so I'm well aware of the difference. I have two sons, and two brothers. I was raised around males and their friends and that's why I know that there are more than just a few men around who dislike women.
One on every corner? Maybe one on every few streets.
But there is a word for the hatred or dislike of women...misogyny. Is there such a word for the hatred of men? IF there is, I've never heard it.
