ShannonMI Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 Another sign is a complete lack of empathy for men. You see that all the time on this forum. Look at how many men get called whiny and bitter simply for expressing how they feel on here. Just because we women call some of the guys on here whiny and bitter doesn't mean we are man haters. I call some men bitter, but I'm far from a man hater. If you are bitter, you're f*cking bitter. Has nothing to do with hating a gender.
ThsAmericanLife Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 Or a survivor, if he wants to be Yup!! ... but I did think of something this morning... (putting on psychologist hat)... People who have been traumatized often go to extreme measures sometimes to try to sift out who is and who isn't a possible future abuser. Telling them that all people aren't that way doesn't make sense to those whose developmental years were spent around people who legitimately were ALL that way. To make matters worse, they end up with not-so-great people picking skills, so they end up with the same as they got... well into adulthood...or becoming ones themselves to avoid being victims again. Obsessing is normal for people who have been traumatized. I'm wondering if he could be helped by getting counseling for PTSD... if he hasn't already. Maybe something for anxiety (exercise, diet, etc)...
serial muse Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 If she starts threads about how all/most men are this, that or the other she probably doesn't have much respect for them (and is incapable of seeing them as individuals, which is dehumanizing). If I were to take the suggestion of starting a similar thread about spotting a misogynist, this would also be my criterion. But honestly, I can't be bothered starting such a thread. These things only sow hate and, as I said, act to dehumanize people. It's tiresome in the extreme.

But when women post the same exact things they are not called whiny and bitter. Also I am a survivor. No matter how hard my mother tried she could not break me and for that I am proud.
joystickd Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 My friend from work says she can't stand women who get fed up with dating men then decide to become lesbian. 9 times out of 10 they run into the same problems but still refuse to see that they are the common denominator. I was with a woman once that's now a lesbian. She can't even have a relationship with a lesbian because of the same issues she had with men. She hates to admit she has the dating issues.

If they just looked in the mirror maybe they can begin to start solving their problems.

phineas Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 Well, show me the fat friend the hot chicks drag to bars & i'll show you a man hater.
