Haters of opposite gender?

Question

With so many attacks being done on the opposite sex here, I'm wondering how many of these people that continue to bring down the opposite sex have partners themselves?
This I ask because I'd like to find out if the continuous slander is being done because they have trouble in relationships or whether it is because they having nothing worthwhile to aim for in life and try to put others down to make themselves seem more important?
This question is not directed for men, so don't get me wrong, it's directed for any gender that hates the opposite sex.

Answer 1

I suspect it's a little of both- they're troubled about being undesirable to the opposite sex (and of course, their attitude makes them even more undesirable) and, the general tendency of people to like to put others down to make themselves feel superior. Of course, when questioned about this (and often, even when not questioned) they're quick to rant about how popular they are with the opposite sex, and how they "go through" so many of them, sexually. I have a hard time believing that. People who are happy, healthy, and well liked don't need to spend their time on line belittling roughly 50% of the population. It's sad, really.

Answer 2

Quite often, when someone has been seriously hurt by a member of the opposite sex, or has had experience of that with many persons, they generalize and condemn all members of the opposite sex (for example, some men hate all women, and some women hate all men).



But such a generalization is illicit, because there are both good men and bad men, and there are both good women and bad women.





Such persons have chosen not to think rationally and objectively, but instead, have choosen to indulge their grievances in making sweeping judgements such as that - it really is a form of selfishness to the detriment of objectivity and to the detriment of justice to persons who they attack, because they belong to a given gender, who are good people and have not done wrong.

Answer 3

Good point - I wonder if some of the anti-* rhetoric here is the person's way of saying what they can't say at home.



There is probably a lot of pent-up anger in people who are unhappy with the way they were/are treated by their opposite gender parent, spouse or *friend.



I suspect this most when the question begins "Why is that * always....." These are the questions that I usually leave untouched, unless somethign about the person's manner ticks me off a bit too much! Then it's short & nasty comeback time.



(* = a gender wildcard symbol)

Answer 4

I even have in no way understood the theory that guy or woman who isn't a extensive fan of feminism is for despite reason unsuccessful with women. I even have an quite classic attitude in relationship, and maximum women (even feminists) LOVE that i'm no longer the type of guy to be pushed around via my woman. I even have in no way been single all that long, and at the instant am in a relationship. additionally, i would not call myself an opposite gender hater, I basically handle women the way that they handle me. i'm superb to them in the event that they are superb to me.

Answer 5

I have nothing against the female gender as a whole. I've had some great relationships with women. I just don't like specific woman...



For instance.. I think Paris Hilton is a piece of sh*t

Answer 6

I don't really hate men, I just would rather not be WITH a man at this point in time. No, I'm not with anyone or even seeing anyone. I feel this way because of past relationships that went very bad.

Answer 7

When I was in college just about all of the active feminists hated men, even the ones that weren't lesbians. I couldn't understand how they were attracted to men, but seemed to hate them at the same time.



One of my friends went out with one of them. He said she was really into him and was pretty cool, but spent a lot of time bashing men and "the patriarchy." He finally got fed up and cut ties.



So, maybe this is a pattern with other feminists. Even if they are attracted to men, maybe they still have some sort of latent hatred of men at the same time.

Answer 8

I am a straight woman, married with kids.



I don't hate the opposite gender. I get along better with men then most women. I find most women to be catty, gossiping, backstabbing, gold digging, drama queens. Sure, there are exceptions to the rule and those women are wonderful people and their friendship should be truly cherished. I just find that so much drama in any social circle seems to always be started by, cultivated by, and propagated by WOMEN. Women like these give all women a bad name. I find men to be (for the most part) pretty much, what you see is what you get. As long as they know you have no intentions of sleeping with them, they are who they are and there's no surprises.

Answer 9

I'll go back to my brief period of man-hating to tell you a story. While I was preaching the values of misandry, I was enjoying friendships with a good many guys. I did not have a boyfriend (not that I wanted one or do now), but my circle of friends was still half-male. Luckily, I realized that I didn't believe any of what I was saying and relaxed into my true egalitarianism.

Answer 10

I don't hate the opposite gender as a whole. I love my boyfriend dearly. However I have had many bad experiences with certain males which can be attributed to gender. So I do have issues with certain men.

Answer 11

I actually really do like men and I have a healthy relationship with my husband who is a sexy, secure, intellectual man. One of my very best friends in the universe (outside of my marriage) is male and he rocks.



However; I hate misogynists more than I pity them, and this is astronomical (and sometimes my hatred for them borders on irrational).

Answer 12

I luv everybody. Every sex, religion, sex, or race. Why cant everyone learn to love....The world would be a better place.

Answer 13

I agree with Mike T.

Answer 14

I love all women even the drama queens
