I'm sick of the men on WP.
I mean what if I told a male poster here that because they are an aspie their experience of being a man is irrelevant, and should be disregarded? I do not think that would make them feel very welcome in the WP community.
I mean it hurts to be alone and want a relationship, but that's not an excuse to be hurtful to other people here by telling them their experience is irrelevant.
Well if they didn’t tell men their experiences are invalid or just compete made up lies.
Which I’ve been told a lot here. I find thst super hurtful, I’ve never question any woman’s experiences here or told them they must just be making it up.
I check this section occasionally cause as boo and other old timers were remember. 2 years ago or so this section was used by some feminist as a rallying point to push banning a lot of men here here and creat a censored wp. They’re gone , I can only wonder why. But since then I make effort to check occasionally for threads like this.
I don’t bother myself with the other threads here unless I can offer something positive such as omen who feel due to some part of their body they aren’t attractive which simply isn’t true.
This section isn’t suppose to be a rallying point against men on wp, but due to its women only please guidelines it is used as such occasional, as was the men’s section when we had one.
If anything such threads should be avoid or perhaps women’s section too might go away.

How long do you think a “ I’m sick of the women on wp” thread would stay up?
Maybe fifteen minutes.

You’re estimate is higher then mine. It’d certainly be locked immediately once a mod saw it.
I don’t think most people here hate women or hate men. Having disagreements and different experiences isnt hate nor is expressing those different experiences.
I do not hate women atleast not yet. People supposedly get bitter as they age.
With regards to people constantly complaining, then arguing when advice is given, perhaps arguing with strangers on the internet is the only sense of empowerment those people get.
Maybe they feel so invisible that complaining and arguing is the only way they can ascertain that at least someone out there cares enough to make the effort to reply.
Maybe arguing is a distraction from how s**t their lives actually are.
Much sadder to see the zero reply posts, IMO.

Very astute

It's like that old saying says, "negative attention is better than no attention at all." Some complainers must subscribe to this idea. And if it works and gets them (even negative) attention, they are rewarded and motivated to keep doing it. I imagine that would be a hard cycle to break out of, especially if you can't get any positive attention any other way.
Any attention whatsoever is quite surprising to a lot of us here. I don't think anyone who ever touched me realizes what a big deal that is in my book.

There is a difference between discussing or debating topics of media controversy and facts, and blaming others for problems that don't personally affect them and was probably out of their time zone by the time they were born so shouldn't know everything that is being topically discussed or hyped up for the sake of scoring brownie points, then,
there is genuine behaviour from people who are looking for a place to vent their problems be it of a personal or problematic nature that could be differentiated in more detail by P.M or moderator intervention in a topical sense.

You are both entirely missing the point.
The title of the thread is stupid, granted. It lumps all of the men on the forum into the same bucket when there are plenty who are perfectly nice guys.
But the point is that there is a great deal of misogynistic vitriol directed at women on the site. There have been a number of posters who blame women because they aren't in a relationship and they feel entitled to be in one. They blame women because they aren't giving them sex, as if they are entitled to our bodies. They blame us for everything that is wrong with the world, condescend to us and generally act creepy. They never stop to question if the reason that things are messed up in their lives might be them. When everyone else is a jerk, it's time to look in the mirror.
Women are often habituated to being wary of men because sometimes that sentiment, that hatred, that sense of superiority and entitlement spills out in the real world. We worry about being raped, abused or killed by a partner, harassed, even shot or run over by a van on the sidewalk for the simple misfortune of being female in proximity to an angry incel man who has decided to externalize his hatred. Men do face potential abuse and rape as well, but for women it's an ever present niggling worry in our subconscious minds. It has to be. That's awful.
The point of the thread isn't to promote hate speech against men--though the title would suggest otherwise. It's decrying those men on the forum who feel it's perfectly OK to spew hate speech against women and do so on a regular basis.
I don't hate men at all. Many of the men on WP are delightful. Many men in the real world are delightful. Shy guys are not the problem.
The problem lies with those who stew in their own resentment, boiling with rage toward the women they perceive as being responsible for their issues. They don't spend a second considering why women find them unapproachable (maybe the air of simmering hatred?) and they won't take any of the advice that could help them improve their lives and attract a mate. Relationships are earned, not a right. Sex is a gift to be given to each other, not a right. They don't get that. They will never get it. They just spend their time seething and making female members of the forum feel like unwelcome second class citizens.
And yeah, I don't think much of those guys either.

But ou point is if a man made the same
Post word for word but about women it’d been deleted and the man banned or atleast warne.
I’m not misogynistic by the way anything slightly bad about women isn’t either.
Try reading it.
