Are Autistic Men More Likely to be Misogynistic?

I might be fumbling.....but I'm certainly NOT floundering.

I believe generalizations based on the whole spectrum of gender should be strongly discouraged.

So misogyny becomes more legitimate with the length of time spent without intercourse? That is, misogyny is an acceptable reaction to lack of sexual intercourse? Or maybe you are saying that it is just a likely reaction. However, I don't think it is acceptable for men to be hateful towards women based on their frequency of intercourse.

Haha

Venger is not supporting misogyny. He only made an observation. I think he doesn't believe in it, either.

Yeah, I guess I can safely become a misogynist, now. It's been longer than I care to admit.

Oh, sure...laugh at my misery!

Not your misery, your literallness. Made me smile.

I know, just teasing.

Seriously though. Venger's point may be that autistic men are slower to become vindictive, but the implication that sexual frustration necessarily leads to resentment and hate, is disturbing.
It makes me think that it is believed that the misogynistic leanings of men are the responsibility of women. That if a man is misogynistic, sex with a woman will magically take that away. (Apologies for binary gendering again. switching the genders around doesn't alter the point - feelings towards another gender should not be based sexual satisfaction.)

whats a mysogynistic?

Some self-centered males suffering from the delusion of "entitlement" might wish to pin the blame for their lack of success in the realm of romance might be willing to pin the blame on women -- but that's some pretty twisted thinking. Unfortunately, there is no shortage of that kind of mindset in a society where the "blame game" is rampant.

Happiness and fulfillment in life have to be earned - period. Granted, those on the autism spectrum have a much tougher time of it than those who aren't, but nobody owes anyone anything in this life.

Well, this isn't without merit. Back when I was 22, I was a virgin. Needless to say, I was feeling quite a bit of resentment toward women. Having a ultra-alpha male friend, who was had a new girlfriend (if you could call them that) every month, only added fuel to the fire. Not to mention how ugly I was at that age. I wouldn't say I was misogynistic, but I highly resented girls' ability to instantly pick up on desperation in guys, which was adding to my vicious cycle.

Of course, there's a great evolutionary reason for not wanting to go near a desperate guy. If no one wants him, then he must be carrying bad genes, which are a hazard to the girl's offspring, and must be avoided.

This continued until I broke that cycle, and hired an escort! For at least three months afterwards, I was a changed man. Women in bars acted more affectionate with me while dancing, women at work seemed to smile at me more, a few store workers fidgeted with their hair while helping me, even girls on dating sites actually responded to my messages. And my view of women shifted from resentment to friendly neutrality.

Yep...it's displacing the blame towards women...when the resentment should be towards the SITUATION of lacking a relationship.

Legalized prostitution could be a solution if truly one's attitude is being effected. I've always found the prohibition hurts women rather then helps them. It is society's last hold on women's autonomy. Good for you for being proactive.

Prostitition is mostly an evil. One might as well masturbate to alleviate sexual tension. And it would be free.
