I’m trying to puzzle this out. How do we get here? It’s been historically ubiquitous and it’s worldwide. It’s part of the human condition, this oppression of women.
How and why does it arise?
I used to think it arose out of the physical superiority of men. And then I learned that my perception of a woman’s physical weakness was like Chief Bromden’s perception of his weakness – completely deluded, imposed by cultural indoctrination.
So it isn’t that. And it isn’t childbirth – childbirth plays a huge role, but it isn’t that entirely. I think it’s more the vehicle than the cause.
I guess I’m really looking for an explanation for why men hate women. Why does misogyny exist so spontaneously, so naturally? Would it be there even in the absence of a misogynist culture? I think so. In which case, why?
Does the oppression arise through the hatred, or is the hatred a manifestation of the oppression? Humans do tend to hate their slaves. They also tend to oppress those they hate. So, how? Why?
I keep going back to sexuality, tracing the root of it in men’s sexuality. It seems to come back to that, revolve around that, more often than not, and it takes sexual shapes so often, it’s as if there’s a hatred of women’s sex. Their cunts, their sexual wills.
They hate older women because they are sexually useless.
They hate younger women if they are sexually unavailable.
They hate ugly women because they are unfuckable.
They hate beautiful women because they often don’t make themselves available.
They hate intelligent women because they’re uppity – they perceive a value in themselves that is not exclusively sexual.
They hate independent self-willed women because they don’t realize they’re there for the sexual pleasure of men.
And then they use sex to humiliate, degrade, exploit, use and destroy. Sex is their motive; sex is their instrument; sex is their focal point.
And it emanates from biology, and is thus inescapable unless there is a program of early pro-feminist indoctrination in place. Some of the most feminist men I know – the only ones who take me seriously as a person and not exclusively as a sex object – were raised by radical feminists.
(Thinking out loud here.)
Filed under: Feminism
IMO a large part of it comes from the cultural legacy of the Greek and Roman influence on the Catholic religion and the spread of this through the west, if we look back to the BC years we see that the Celtic and Germanic tribes – the barbarians at the gates as it were had at least marginal equality, celtic women had rights to own property and evidence has been found of several “princesses” in graves throughout Europe
We fast forward to the Roman empire and on to the Catholisicsm and we’ve got women unable to actually *do* anything legally… It intrigues me to think just how it got to that state, one possiblity is the influence of Judaism which is highly patriarchal on the initial foundation of catholisism but that doesnt explain the earlier repression in the greek and roman civilisation
It really does puzzle me why for so long men have been saying how wonderful it is to have a partner and another half but still treating that other half like a lump of crap
We’re all nuts
I like it.
Have you ever read Mary Daly? She’s a very radical feminist who wrote a book breaking down the meaning of words and ideas and how they reflect a misogynist culture. Part of her theory was that men began to subjugate women as an attempt to ensure that they would know where their children were coming from in order to subvert their death wish (I’m simplifying but that’s the premise). That would go along with what you’re saying, then, about men valuing women for the sake of their availability to fuck.
Hi Apostate,
I’ve been struggling with this question for a long time. Do you feel that there is an innate difference between men and women ? I tend to believe that any differences are due to social upbringing, but I’m reading a biology textbook that says, on average men’s and women’s brains are structured differently. Correlating structure to function is a whole other ballgame of course, there haven’t been any CONCLUSIVE studies on how differently men and women THINK (the neural processes that go into play when analysing information). But it still makes me wonder if the problem lies in our biological constitution itself.
What are your thoughts on this ?
Selfishness and sex undoubtedly play a role close to what you describe here. But I don’t think it’s always as straightforward as you make it. I obviously can speak for no man but myself. I respect you immensely, and would form no opinion about your sexiness that could be separated from that respect. I have to respect a woman to find her truly attractive. It’s a prerequisite in my psychological make-up.
And my mother was far from a radical feminist. She was an abusive, emotional tyrant. Which you’d think might push me another way. Now, I’m by no means perfect, sometimes capable of a misogynist gaffe, and as prone to checking out women as the next dude, but rage at their unavailability? Nah.
But then I’ve never been a victim of gender-based oppression. I’ve never had to face misogyny. And I certainly don’t understand it from other men. All of this limits my — or any man’s — ability to analyze and comment upon misogyny from an objective place. We lack a certain requisite experience. But I have to disagree that it’s simply reducible to biology. The human mind is more complex, and biology is but one factor.
They are jealous they can’t create life. Womb envy.
I believe you may be generalizing the sources of those who oppress women. The Church has been involved, the Law Makers have supported it and the Ignorant enjoy it.
One thing you aren’t adressing is the majority of men who respect, love and admire woman as equals. In your blog it sounds like you have never had that experience.
Here in the US we are one of the few democracy’s to yet elect a woman as president, despite our self grandstanding about how advanced we are. It’s about time we practice what we preach in all parts of our society…from the boardroom to the class room.
My bigger concern is when women are so furious with men, they want them castrated. That isn’t any better either…
“They hate older women because they are sexually useless.
They hate younger women if they are sexually unavailable.
They hate ugly women because they are unfuckable.
They hate beautiful women because they often don’t make themselves available.
They hate intelligent women because they’re uppity – they perceive a value in themselves that is not exclusively sexual.”
I would be interested to read what percentage of women you think agree with these assertions.
My bigger concern is when women are so furious with men, they want them castrated.
I see. So in face of daily murders, rapes, mutilations, stalkings and brutalization – of women by men – your major concern lies with the (mythical) castrating man-hating feminist.
Gotcha. Thanks for sharing your viewpoint.
I realize, in part, that this argument seems entirely circular, and I really need to do a longer post on it. My take, however, is that misogyny arises from the irrationality of the idea of “free will” and the impossibility of enforcing “equality” (whereas the first came before the latter, but did not diminish as the other rose in importance).
First and foremost, men are driven to do horrible things, much as women are. We are a bundle of instincts and socialized norms. My personal philosophy is that everything that humanity does is a product of biological needs, social indoctrination, randomness, and–very rarely–careful rational introspection. That latter is not to be confused with after-the-fact justification of bad behavior. There is a cause for everything, and therefore, everything we do. We instinctively know this… every single academic study is founded upon this causation principle. If there is another principle that governs humanity, it is unknowable by the human mind, if it exists.
That “after-the-fact justification” I just talked about it exactly where misogyny, racism, and all sorts of bullshit arise. What happens is that John does something. If this thing is good, it is a product of his “free will” (when, in fact, it is probably more likely that is a product of socialization, random good luck, or–if he is one of the careful view–introspection… i.e. it’s still good from causation). If it is wrong, it is a product of causation. There is some cause, and that should be obvious to anyone. However, because he is socialized in the notion that inexplicable “causes” (instincts, desires, etc) are good–at least for him–the cause that made him go wrong cannot be internal, and if it is, he is not responsible for it.
The best illumination of that principle, I think, comes from Dwokin’s Pornography in which men rape and torture because they believe women want it, and by wanting it, they make men do it. This is the Dualism: everything that is good is due to my intrinsic free will which is internal to me, and because I am good, it is also good. Everything that I do that is bad is external to me, because they are bad, and therefore they caused it, not me.
Then, this becomes even more complex and ultimately, extremely stupid, when you factor in the notion that humans are, individually, equal and should be treated as such.
You know what? I think I’m going to make a post about this. I’ve polluted your comments with my pedantic philosophical nothings enough.
“childbirth plays a huge role, but it isn’t that entirely. I think it’s more the vehicle than the cause.”
I think the magnitude of the role of childbirth cannot be understated. The modern world has profoundly altered the mythos surrounding childbirth, but in times past it was a much more pressing concern. In the ancient world, where maintaining the population/work force was actually a germane concern, there existed a major incentive for men to consolidate power by implementing mechanisms of social control that effectively stripped women of the very real power over life and death that they had.
“I guess I’m really looking for an explanation for why men hate women. Why does misogyny exist so spontaneously, so naturally? Would it be there even in the absence of a misogynist culture?I think so. In which case, why?”
While I wholeheartedly sympathize with your inclination towards this sentiment due to the pervasiveness of misogyny through time and space, I would hesitate to suppose that it would continue to rear its ugly head in a cultural context that is devoid of the hatred and oppression of women.
“I keep going back to sexuality, tracing the root of it in men’s sexuality. It seems to come back to that, revolve around that, more often than not, and it takes sexual shapes so often, it’s as if there’s a hatred of women’s sex. Their cunts, their sexual wills.”
I agree, and I think it goes back to that ancient envy of women’s power over life and death that has been transmitted through the centuries.
But all of this is just the rambling of a tired mind. I would recommend two books to you that explore precisely these themes:
Eve’s Seed: Biology, the Sexes, and the Course of History
by Robert McElvaine
and
The Creation of Patriarchy
by Gerda Lerner
The question of the roots of oppression of women is as much a question of history as it is of economics, sociology and analytical and cognitive psychology. Patriarchy is a hangover from the past that could disappear when it becomes irrelevant.
But that is not going to happen any time soon: gender regimes are enacted in our day-to-day experiences which also affect our brain development thus putting the gender stamp on all of us in a way we feel intrinsic.
One thing I am sure about is that it doesn’t have to do with biology: it is because patriarchy is so pervasive that women’s biology makes them unsuitable for functioning in a civilization created by dudes, for dudes.
Potentially there may be two separate questions here – firstly, why is there sexual oppression, a privileged sex and an oppressed sex, and secondly, why is it that men and not women are the privileged sex.
I think the first one can be answered fairly easily in the context of a generally oppressive society (whether you think that includes our society or just all pre-modern ones). The privileged sex is ‘bought off’ by the ego-gratification of dominating their sexual slaves, and this helps to relieve their frustration, persuade them to accept lower wages, and generally reduce their rebellion against the oppression they face. The oppressed sex can be more fully and ruthlessly subjugated, including by the very effective mechanism of making them love an individual oppressor. It’s basically a particularly effective form of ‘divide-and-conquer’.
It’s also handy in a consumerist society because a sexuality based on domination is anathema to real intimacy and hence much more easily commodified to sell things.
That still doesn’t explain why men and not women are ‘on top’, although it does suggest that the cause may not be anything very major, since class society is ‘actively seeking’ to divide the sexes somehow. Possible answers to this second question might be childbearing (not just because it inconveniences women but perhaps even because it trains them in caring and compassion and hence makes them less suitable as privileged oppressors) or the knowing-paternity issue, which requires female monogamy but not male.
Another possibility is what I guess you could call the ‘game-theoretic’ structure of male and female sexuality. Females don’t generally compete for males in most species, because they only need to be impregnated once. Males compete for females, because they can impregnate an unlimited number. If male competition over females was a major part of early human (or pre-human? are chimps, lions, etc. patriarchal? proto-patriarchal?) social events, then it might be that peace was established by a social contract only among men, i.e. agreeing how to divide up mates between them. That then lays the foundations for men to organise social affairs, treating women as objects.
root cause is basic cos men are stronger physically and this leads to economic dependence of women upon men with us being hardwired socially for men to be providers- but there is only limited need for this, cos in rural Pakistan- are women strangers to work as the men sit around? No, of course not, so the weaker sex and nurturer argument is a joke- even though it has a element of truth.
Who decides what is right? The strongest. This is why there are no female prophets in any patriarchal religion, why would there be, god is a man’s totemic image, controlling womens’ minds, invading even where a man can’t go, deep into our souls. It’s clever, but just another face of oppresion.
So it’s part physical, part economic, very much a cultural and social thing also but most of all, it’s simply one group of human beings exploiting another for a most valuable resource- sex as a commodity and sex to procreate as a biological imperative for men (who want sons).
Any woman who deviates, like through saying no, being independent, trying to be something more than what a man needs her to be is always going to be a target of hate, suspicion, shame and the male’s mind’s worst nightmare- sexual dishonour.
Do men lie awake at night seeing their wives fucking other men as they watch impotently?
I think strong and confident and basically normal men don’t.
But I think many do and i think it’s the horrible secret inside the homophobic-homoerotic Paki male mind in particular, which is why our own menfolk are so incredibly dangerous and sadistic when their ‘honor’ has been violated.
I often wonder about this too. Wish I had an answer. :\
However, I definitely do not think it comes from biology.
[...] Apostate, replying to an assy commenter on her blog: I see. So in face of daily murders, rapes, [...]
Sweetheart?
You forgot the fact that women can
fake it.
Yeah, not so sure that “castration,” which is typically meant metaphorically, holds a candle to rape, mutilation, and honor-killings.
Hey, I really like your blog.
Here’s my thots on this thread: Not all men hate women they can’t fuck, only those who haven’t grown up.
Menboys have not learned how to deal with the frustration of not getting everything they want. Power and privilege shields them from ever having to grow up. A child sees himself as the center of the world and meets any frustration with anger and tantrums and blames the rest of the world for his own shortcomings. He won’t mature as long as society keeps propping up his sense of entitlement.Luke, if the game theoretic structure is correct, that men turn women into property because they can impregnate a unlimited number and are in fierce competition to do so, then life is Muslim countries must be worse than anywhere according to that theory. Why?
1) Sexual repression under Islam means that there are limited numbers of sexual partners so competition isn’t just fierce, it’s at boiling point
2) Stupid Islam makes a bad situation worse by proclaiming four wives- stoking up the competition even more as women are taken out of the system.
3) Men ordering women to abort female foetuses cos they only want their precious sons makes the thing go into overdrive.
4) To make it worse still, if it could possibly be so, Pakistan has the worst male to female ratio.
In such a terrible situation, men can only view women as commodities that they must strictly control just as it was when Islam was established, in a desert, with very limited sexual choice cos of so few people over vast areas. Islam grew out of a environmental need to oppress, it makes the oppression worse, it is haveing a green house gas effect of sexual repression that creates a need for ever great control of women leading to greater and greater need to repress.
The psychological damage of all this is incalculable, suffice to say, this world will never ever be a safe and loving home for one half of humanity so long as religion exists, because it accentuates the primal aspect of the male urge.
you know what i’ve noticed? women seem to hate other women just as much, if not more. and i think that doesn’t help the situation. if we refuse to stick together or up for each other because we’re so busy competing (on whatever grounds) and because we’re so damn insecure, i don’t think we’ll ever be able to do much about the hatred that comes from the opposite sex. women are oppressors of other women just as often, especially in our societies. and some of it probably comes from the inability to imagine or want a better life for other women (due to jealousy or bitterness).
and i don’t think oppression is part of the human condition or biological. or perhaps i refuse to believe that because it sounds so defeatist. i think it’s cultural and religious and it takes a very evolved man OR woman to rise above it.
I agree with jasmine. Men are physically bigger, stronger, which leads to economic dependence on men and hatred of women. Plus men are jealous they can’t procreate.
I think that men hate women (I mean, those who do, and of course those who invent social systems that do it FOR them) because WOMEN ARE CLEARLY SUPERIOR.
Women can create new people in their bodies
Women mature faster and usually better
Women are better at using language
Women are better at controlling thier emotions (especially rage)
Women are more compassionate, and kinder
Women are more creative
Women are more responsible
Oh, and more beautiful too.
And I think the males can’t STAND it; they have to do everything they can do to pretend that THEY are better, which mostly consists of using force to keep the women oppressed, or out of any sort of competittion.
I should add, at the MACRO level; individually, there are quite a few awesome males. But it is a rare awesome one who lifts even a pinky finger to redress the systematic oppression of females, even in his own society.
…because WOMEN ARE CLEARLY SUPERIOR.
KMT, shhh! You’ll give them a complex!
I have looooong wondered on this question, and now have to articulate my thoughts to my oldest girl-child as she sees the hypocrisy around her and calls the world on it.
No definitive answer exists; many theories by much more qualified thinkers than me do exist.
But I’ve always thought a marrying of the beginnings of Agriculture, Cities and religion coalesced into the brew we see before us today.
Recently I read a theory which fed into a lot of my thoughts on this. The theory was that men and women when in tribal small groups were relatively egalitarian and that in post-industrial societies like Europe and North America that egalitarian situation is returning (far too slowly in my view). The rest of the 5 billion or so humans on the planet are not in this post-industrial world and are still caught in the newly urbanised/agricultural/religious control that some of us have escaped.
Agriculture plays into women-control as it plays into food-control, land control by males, the need for labour and the production of excess males for the perpetuation of war and expansion of breeding territory, for the non-expendable males only of course.
Early city-states required a large stable population; therefore women could not be allowed to control their fertility. There is evidence that they could control fertility somewhat in small family based tribes where herb-knowledge and breast feeding suppressed fecundity.
Did you know that in Post Renaissance Europe nobody breast-fed their own children if they could afford it? This means a woman could keep producing a child a year rather than a child every 4 years; this is easier to understand when we take into consideration that the first targets of the Inquisition were often local midwives with herb knowledge. This type of knowledge is recognised now in the few remaining true herbalists (native shaman types) in S. America and N. America, China and Africa. But not Europe, that branch was broken 500 years ago and never grew back.
Then the third horseman of religion legitimised this situation by making it a divine duty to procreate and keep the bitches in their place. Apostatic if we don’t and stockpile those stones.
Well that’s my simple reasoning behind 5,000 years of oppression….anyone else have any ideas about how we can get rid of it in a generation or two? Here in NA we’ve only been at it for 150 years, progress measured in small amounts, like wow we got another MP/Party Leader etc.
“My bigger concern is when women are so furious with men, they want them castrated.”
Yes, that’s a huge concern. Seems every time I turn on the news, there’s another horrifying castration case.
Please.
“…because WOMEN ARE CLEARLY SUPERIOR.
KMT, shhh! You’ll give them a complex! ”
mehehe.
This is a great blog.
I have puzzled over this question for ages, and I think I agree with you…I love men but think they are such idiots at the same time.
“Women can create new people in their bodies”
No rational man wants to be incapacitated for several months, or push an eight pound baby out of his body. We’re happy you girls are doing it for us. “Womb envy” was invented as a counter balance to the popular term “penis envy”, but unfortunately turned out to be false. Perhaps penis envy is false too, although that depends on how you want to explain the sales success of strap-ons. It must be frustrating for lesbos who were blessed with male cognition, to lack the correct equipment. Sort of like flying an aeroplane with a missing wing.
“Women mature faster”
True, women appear to mature earlier than boys.
“Women are better at using language”
Women spray words from that 24-calibur machine gun we call their brain, while men prefer to think before saying shit.
“Women are better at controlling thier emotions
Thanks for the laugh. According to recent research, my life may have just extended by 1 or 2 days.
“Women are more compassionate, and kinder”
Probably true. Not to each other though. Women hate women.
“Women are more creative”
On behalf of Johann Sebastian Bach, Leonardo Da Vinci, Johannes Gutenberg, Amadeus Mozart, Thomas Edison, Elisha Gray, the Wright Brothers, Isaac Newton, Nikola Tesla, Samuel Morse, please shut the fuck up. Every brick you see was layed down by a man. The computer you’re using as a medium for your diatribe, was invented by men. Women are mostly “preconscious” thinkers, which is not conductive to creativity or innovation. Only women emulating male cognition, lesbos and jewish girls are blessed with creativity. Certainly not most women. This is related to why women are shit at producing humor.
“Women are more responsible”
Responsible in the sense that they can’t take risks.
“Oh, and more beautiful too.”
I guess I’ll have to agree with that one.
Kudos to Apostate though for leaving Islam. You and Ayaan Hirsi Ali should do a press conference together!
You and Ayaan Hirsi Ali should do a press conference together!
Why on earth, Tommie? We’re just dumb bitchez who’d likely sputter a lot of nonsense (since we’re incapable of thinking before we speak) and embarrass the world community of apostates with our bimboish dumbness.
We’re better off letting princes like you do our talking for us. After all, you’re smarter and actually know about shit and stuff – I bet you’re even better at math! AND you come from a long tradition of showing the bitchez what brains and ability are all about.
Thanks for your vote of confidence in me and Ayaan, Tommie, but your previous comment kinda put me (and all other dumb bitchez) in our proper subservient places. You’ll have to get Ibn Warraq and Isaac Schrodinger to do that press conference. Isaac, for one, is perfectly in agreement with your estimation of the bitchez.
GodDAMN what a sexist psycho Tommie is! (Take it for me to note the obvious, right?)
Funny how “emulating male cognition” seems to be synonymous with active, aggressive behavior. How is that possible? Seeing as how most of humanity has had women in each society systematically indoctrinated into being passive and submissive for millenia, and how any accomplishment any woman manages to make is also actively forgotten and written out of canon by the mainstream at large, it only makes one wonder — why ARE there so few (known) inventors and creators who are female? HM.
Stupid.
“GodDAMN what a sexist psycho Tommie is! (Take it for me to note the obvious, right?)”
Yes, truth hurts. Hey, when girlies drop comments about men being inferior, or devote blogs to denigrate us, why would I hold back? You can’t be too nice about things like this. So I ate the cake. Let’s not pretend my replies came out of the blue.
Believe it or not (most likely not, but let’s move on), I am a supporter of feminism. Put your jaw back in place, and let me explain. I mean the normal kind, like Mary Wollstonecraft. I support the feminism that says we can’t rape women, or deny them basic rights. Oddly though, feminism becomes more ugly, the more we bow to their demands. I wish it was more aggressive in Kabul and Kandahar province, than in Stockholm. Anyway, it’s high time we gave a big FUCK YOU to all the man-haters. Since you refuse to reply properly to KMTBerry and her likes, you automatically leave the job for assholes like me. Nice work.
golby260, saying that women don’t have many inventions on their resume because they were oppressed, is a far cry from saying that women are more creative. The opposite takes a smaller leap of faith.
truth hurts
Yesterday, as I amused myself with my sarcastic response to you, I was thinking how, if I reacted with honest outrage at your views, you would probably come back with, “truth hurts.” Douches are so predictable.
The only thing that I don’t understand out of your response is your comment about KMTBerry. As I understand it, KMT enjoys my blog and likes my writing. I have no idea what remarkable truths you think she’s stated here that need an urgent response from me.
It’s apparent you’ve been following the blog a little bit and it gets under your skin that I hate men and would like to mass-castrate them. Good. That’s what it’s meant to do. But if you’ve been following the blog, you should also have noticed that I don’t respond to comments in most cases anyway, whether they seem to need a response or not. I guess it burns you that I don’t let myself be held accountable on this blog. Good. Anything that burns your assholish ass must be a good thing.
Now, in keeping with the traditions of the feminism you don’t agree with, I am going to fascistically ban your ass. I don’t have time to plow through your juvenile rants about how much your penis shrinks when you read my stuff.
Kindly fuck off, douche. :)
“Thanks for your vote of confidence in me and Ayaan, Tommie, but your previous comment kinda put me (and all other dumb bitchez) in our proper subservient places.”
Not really though. I put the idea that men are inferior in its place. If you mean that I sound harsh, that’s only because it’s fucking necessary. Mr. Nice guy comes around when you stop the diatribe against men, especially by rich, middle class girlies who were never subservient in the first place. Oh, and I already called up Ayaan and I think she might cry if you don’t do the press conference.
Mr. Nice guy comes around when you stop the diatribe against men
Ooohh! I’ve been warned. I guess I better shut up now.
Seriously, go massage that tiny penis into some respectable size.
I’m almost tempted to challenge your “rich middle class girlies who were never subservient in the first place” but seriously, who gives a shit what Tommie-Mr.-Small-Penis thinks. I can’t really bring myself to give a shit.

Seriously, Tommie, why are you so fucking insecure that you have to spend so much time trying to prove to random people on the Internet that men don’t suck, especially when your efforts are entirely self-defeating?
Admit it – you just felt like being an asshole – I hear men get these sudden attacks – and I happened to be handy, so you came and shat all over my space. It’s not like you’ve proved anything by what you’ve said except that you’re a dumbass of the first degree.
Why don’t you go and preach to some of your fellow men who run the countless hate-against-women sites on the Internet? If you’re such a big supporter of women’s rights, go and stop your own kind from hate-speech and harassing women. Why be so damn concerned what some women say about men (the REAL persecuted class, as we all know) at an obscure blog like mine? It takes a very tiny penis to get so worked up and feel such a need to set the record straight where there really – and quite obviously – is no need to do so.
“Now, in keeping with the traditions of the feminism you don’t agree with, I am going to fascistically ban your ass.”
It does seem to be a great tradition of feminism to banish freedom of speech. Ironically, it’s also a great Islamic tradition.
“who gives a shit what Tommie-Mr.-Small-Penis thinks.”
Apparently you, since you keep replying to me. lol
Don’t let me amusing yourself by responding to you fool you into thinking I care what you think. Note that I am not trying to refute your lame attempts at proving how much men rule, simply making fun of your little shrinking penis.
As for freedom of speech, see Point 4 here.
It’s such a predictable complaint by megadouches like yourself that I felt compelled to draw up a cogent response that even someone with your lizard-brain might be able to comprehend -don’t worry, I won’t hold my breath; you’re likely incapable of that level of complexity of thought.
Because if you were capable of any thought at all, you wouldn’t need the explanation. I can only hope you manage to self-select out of the gene pool by your own stupidity.
And now I’m done. Have to get ready for work. Nice chatting with you, thanks for the entertainment, etc.
(Your efforts were wasted. I still think men suck.)
You’re right, I really am a douche.

Men hate women because men hate everybody. Since they’re all constantly quaking in terror over how they bully each other, they all try to suck up to some of their fellow bullies in the hopes of buying protection. And we all know that when you kiss up to the schoolyard bully, part of the deal is that you have to laugh and applaud when he bullies others while you wet yourself in joy that it’s not you. Then to prove you’re cool, you have to join in the bullying.
They hate us as an outgrowth of how they hate each other. We’re just a convenient group of “others” for the terminally terrified to gang up on.
