Men do far more damage than women do. Yes, we women can do pretty horrible things on an individual level, but look at any statistic of the worst of the worse; murder, violence, rape, robbery, abandonment of family/offspring, etc and men far, far outnumber women as the preperators. That's why the focus should be on men, because they are the cause of most global brutality. Luckily this is slowly changing for the better as testosterone levels of men are dropping sharply in the west which will hopefuly contribute to change in male culture. For the record, there is nothing wrong with men as individuals. Many men take offense to what women say about the gender as a whole, but if the descriptions fit you then we're not talking about you at all. |
well all i can say is that you have a very naive and simplistic view about mascuilinity
"Men do far more damage than women do"
yes but you are speaking of the negative
you should have put it like this " men do more than women do"
and by that i mean that men have contributed by a massive degree more to the building and upkeep of society than women have
the structures we use, our forms of communication, our understanding of the universe etc etc etc
all of this was done by the drive of men
i'd also like to mention that men are told that we are to protect women because of our power and aggression
so as i said previously the current situation is that the contributions of men to society are completely overlooked in favour of calling them demonic brutes when their violence is not being harnassed to benefit women
what's also funny about this situation is that many women encourage men to be masculine and shame them when they do not meet certain standards that depending on the context they then jump around and shame men for... just a funny observation i've made
one example : https://twitter.com/HeightismReport
height is attractive to women because it makes a man more domineering/imposing
"murder, violence, rape, robbery, abandonment of family/offspring, etc and men far, far outnumber women as the preperators. "
yes that is all true
"That's why the focus should be on men "
well first off you already have a situation where the evils of men are overexaggerated while the evils of women are never discussed
but anyway no that's silly reasoning just because the evil that women perpetuate is not overt like that of men it does not mean that we shouldn't discuss it
"Luckily this is slowly changing for the better as testosterone levels of men are dropping sharply in the west which will hopefuly contribute to change in male culture."
ok so violence will drop, however, have you considered that there may also be negative effects also?
or does that not matter?
"Many men take offense to what women say about the gender as a whole, but if the descriptions fit you then we're not talking about you at all."
my personal problem with it is that as i said previously there is a very one sided view of men that is being pushed currently
it does not take into account the whole situation just the negative aspects of men
and a situation can never be analysed properly when you choose to disregard a massive portion of it
its like trying to understand how a car works by pulling out the engine and disregarding the rest of the car
