The women's forum was ok anyways, but very quiet, its busier now, though marginally so, and the content is less dominated by feminism; to be clear I have no issue with feminism, but there is more to being a woman than feminism. During the battle of the sexes (or whatever that was last year) this sub forum was somewhere I avoided, discussing regular female issues was not possible during that timeframe, so it is an improvement that it's more inclusive now.

It's a minority. With the Internet, they just have a place to huddle up and loudly encourage each other.

Like in gaming, it only takes one creep to make being in a group of a dozen decent people an uncomfortable overall experience.

If people argue with it all the time, then it keeps becoming the "main discussion" for everyone to read.

I love women.

Not necessarily individually but as a human sub group, generally superior to men.

Couldn`t stand Margaret Thatcher, but then she was more male than female.

There aren't that many misogynists on this forum, though there might be one or two.

There are plenty of guys who grew up through the late 80s, 90s, to present where the educational system ( primary, secondary and post secondary) were skewed heavily to girls and women.
It's quite common during education in the U.S. to have teachers and professors spend most of their time helping girls and women at the expense of boys and guys.
This in part due girls and women bring action against them for sexism when they feel slighted (it's quite easy to do this too).

It's also quite easy for girl or woman to bring sexual harassment and sexual assault/rape charges against a boy or guy.
All you need in the U.S. is a sympathetic prosecutor and a convincing story (no physical evidence required).
For boys and men to bring charges, it's quite tougher.

The most recent case is the one in New Hampshire, where the prosecutors had no evidence what so ever of rape, but were still able to get some convictions on the boy.

It's really that easy to scream rape or sexism and get a boy or guy into trouble, if not ruin his life so completely.

When boys and men get a job, they have to on a regular basis go to sensitivity training to learn how to work and deal with women. It also includes dating and sexual stuff too.

Then add dating and just going out in public, then you start to see why men these days have become less friendly toward women.

Also lets not forget about "Manspreading" that is leading to men being arrested on the New York City subway for not sitting with their legs completely together.
Though women are allowed to sit with their legs spread to any degree.



Yes it is real and was done to after tons of women complained.

Aspies are more likely to want to be "rational".

But, I can feel that it would really displease you to know that your male counterparts hate you, and so, know that it is not the case that they may be more likely to hate you.

Perhaps they are more likely to hate neurotypical women.
Personally, I hate both "normal" males and females equally.

In fact, it is likely that they will be more likely to be feminists. Neanderthals were a matriarchy.
In every ethnicities which are said to have inherited alot of "Neanderthal DNA", we can find the same tendancies.

....and then there are the guys who have a serious persecution complex when it comes to women.
The whole world is out to get men, women go around pretending they've been raped, men are victims, blah blah blah.
I'm not sure which is worse. Of course, thinking women are boogey-monsters is itself a form of misogyny.

manspreading... Ha ha ha that is so funny.
its just a comfortable way to sit especially if you are 6` 2" like me and train carriages are built for people 5`10 at most. Also it is more comfortable to give your wedding tackle some room to breath a little..... this is for no one elses benefit except the owner of said tackle.

Anyway what about women who go around with their cleavage `in your face. or women in ripped tiny denim shorts showing their butt cheeks. isn`t this equal to manspreading?.... not that I`m against it neccessarily

As long as the men `manspreading are not letting a testicle or more plop out I dont`really see the problem.

I suppose if they were also stroking their crotch, staring at the woman and drooling then I think would then be ok to arrest them for lewd behaviour in a public place.

Manspreading ha ha ... what next!
Eating a banana suggestively??

Women dress far too provocatively these days if you ask me. Especially yoga pants. They are worse than manspreading.

What about the shirts with "necklines" almost halfway down their torso, exposing everything but the nipple? If you ask me you can't complain of men staring at your tits if you purposely have them hanging out. Men can't really help having external genitals, so they need to have their legs spread a bit so not to crush them if I'm understanding human biology correctly, but I don't own a dick so I'm not sure.

Oh I know, I'm a straight woman, but some of the women in these outfits make me blush.

Truthfully, (don't laugh) I think women should not hold their legs together all the time either. It's not natural and I don't think it's healthy.

At least we wouldn't be crushing anything. Why would it be unhealthy?

More about the hips with us I think. I naturally sit with my legs apart and have to remember not to. I usually end up crossing them somehow.

"Manspreading" takes away seats from people on the subway.

Yes, the issue with man-spreading is primarily that it infringes on the space of the people seated beside the man, or even prevents anyone from using those seats. It's inconsiderate.

The influence of gender and socialisation on body language and the presentation of the self in everyday life - fascinating and complex topic. Issues of dominance, power, vulnerability and inherited patriarchal attitudes all in the mix.

Men taking up multiple seats by manspreading aren't the majority of men sitting with a space between their legs.

Far more seats on the subway are taken up by bags, backpacks, gear, shopping items, pets, and garbage.

manspreading is an arrestable offense even if you aren't taking up another seat, because it is deemed as hurting women.
You can put an item, backpack, pet, purse in the seat next to you to prevent people from sitting next to you and you won't even get a word from the police.

If the subway car is less than half full, you will still be punished even if you aren't taking up a seat like Tom Hanks, who was then subsequently attacked on Twitter for his supposed manspreading even though no extra seats were taking up.
He still hasn't publicly apologized to women for it and they weren't happy with his explanation.

Also one of lead voices of global feminists based in the UK posted her recent views on what to do about men a few days ago.

We have a thread going on about her and her thoughts.
