GUYS ARE ASSHOLES!!!

[TheRightToArmBears]

Well, girls that do that are stupid. If every interaction you've had with guys has been bad, it's probably your fault.

 

[Wardnath]

Male here.

Yes, we really can be assholes. About half of the replies in this thread thus far, and my own experiences in real life (no, not of what you're thinking) are proof of this.

 

[Irony's Acolyte]

Well I would probably be a bit annoyed by it. Although it depends upon what kind of girl was saying it. If I could tell she just had a bad day or something I'd try to reason with her calmly. If she was normally such a ***** I'd probably return the favor by ignoring what she just said, look her straight in the eye, and go "Why aren't you in the kitchen?". If she's bright enough then she'll get my point and back off, if she isn't there probably wasn't much point in reasoning with her in the first place.

And I'm not saying that she's wrong, some guys can be assholes, but that's the thing. Some guys. Just like some girls can be total bitches. That doesn't mean that I treat them all like they're going to be all bitchy towards me, I get to know them first. After that if they are a *****/asshole I can treat them like one.

I'm a woman and I do dislike stereotypes like this.
I've had shitty boyfriends, right now I'm with an amazing man but I know several of my male friends are amazing men too.
Scratch that, almost all my friends are male because I think WOMEN are far too bitchy. I find it much easier to get on with guys.

Also, I don't know if anyone else has noticed and this might just be me it gets to, but there's an advert on british tv at the moment for boots pharmacy where two women meet in the street and they both have colds. They go on to discuss all the amazing things they do and how they're picking up cold and flu medicine for their men because they have colds, implying that men become completely useless or something and we're superior for getting on with things. If anything I'm the lazy one when I'm ill and my man does everything for me.
Just a little thing but it still bothers me lol x

I never said that you mentioned religion. You were carrying on about the supposedly horrendous acts that pro-choice people commit, so I pointed out some of the actions of pro-lifers.

Third-term abortion is not legal everywhere. It's not legal most places. At the point where most abortion is legal, all that is being "killed" is a bunch of tissue. A bunch of tissue is not alive, nor does it have to be cared for, at least in the sense you implied in your statement.

Yes, adoption is a possibility. It's just as painful emotionally as some women find having an abortion. Some women aren't bothered by it at all. There's no across-the-board standard. As to your comment about the old...Complete strawman. There is NO comparison whatsoever between a piece of tissue (a first trimester fetus) and a fully grown adult who may or may not be disabled. Not all elderly are unable to contribute to society, either. Nice generalization.

Fine. Show me some horrendous thing a pro-choice person has done, other than exercise their choice and do something you personally find wrong. I can profusely document every example I brought up.

OK, I apologize. That should have read something along the lines of "people who share your opinion." Sorry for the confusion.

I see what you are saying, and yes, I agree that many of those who are Pro-Life can be religious and are very insensitive to what those who are having an abortion are going through, truly it is unfair that they can do these things.

It's true it's not legal everywhere, and you would need the sketchiest of doctors to perform it, but again, it still happens, and there are people who are very willing to allow this to happen. Well the tissue can be considered alive, as the cells that make up the tissue are all alive. Again, I see what you are saying about the tissue, but if you give it time, that tissue has human like features. What distinguishes that tissue from the tissue that looks like a human? Are you basing life on just the look of it?

Arguable. You kill the fetus, and the woman will know that the child could have grown up, could have had a life, with a loving family that could care for him/her. You adopt a child, you know they are going into the best of care, a loving family. And when the child is 19, they can have Full Disclosure, and get a way to contact their birth parents.

It was a terrible generalization, I am aware. I regret it the second I clicked post. But the point I'm trying to make still stands. You take any person of any age who can no longer contribute to society, they are equal to the tissue in a woman's womb. Neither do anything, and both suck extra resources away from the world. However one of them may grow into the greatest thing to ever happen to the planet. (Please note, I am not saying kill the people who cannot contribute. I am appalled at the idea, I'm just playing Devil's Advocate.)

Seeing as we have different opinions, it's a moot point. I will say one thing that I find offensive, and you will call it choice. You say one thing you find offensive, I will call it preservation of life. It's all different, so there is no point.

No worries, mistakes happen all the time.

Hey, pretty much all women suck at sending signals that are easy to interpret. It's sad but true.
Women out there, if you like us, flirt. If you just want to be friends, don't act super nice and interested, because we think that means something more.

awww

have a hug

anyway yeah generalisations like this are mean but generalisations do exist for a reasona lot of the time its true, best we can do to change it is to get people to stop being so asshollish. To try and redeem the image of a true gentleman

(but tbh guys under 25 are about as asshollish as girls under 25 are bitchy/slagggish just a broad statement both sex has offenders)

Yeah, damn those sex offenders.

seewhatididthar?

Anyways, we all like to use sterotypes, this one is just more evil.

 

[Palademon]

It annoys me because they usually say it after a messy break up with a guy who was an obvious prick.

 

[MASTACHIEFPWN]

Technicly it is their fault for going for douchebags instead of nice people...

 

[_Cake_]

Men do it as much as women. Meh.

I haven't ever said all men are *insert problem here*. The closest I have got is thinking "So many men are cheaters it scares me to open up enough to date". No I haven't been cheated on(I think ;p) but it was at a time when lots of women I knew where getting cheated on and heard some guys saying "Oh it's what we do, all guys cheat". Sometimes people just have bad luck, if your a good human being it's best not to take it personal.

 

[TheSteeleStrap]

I've had girls say that, then I say "not all guys", then they say "ALL guys", so yes, they are being sexist. Not to mention that takes some crazy big lady balls to say that to a guy. Next time a girl says that to you, just respond "No, the guys YOU fuck with are assholes. Be a little more selective." The look on their faces... Priceless...

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

Surely some other escapists have run into girls like this. The ones who will make statements like "I wish we lived in a world where all guys werent complete fuckfaces". Even if they aren't necessarily (stereotypically) feminist, this just totally drives me insane. I don't want to say it's sexist, because I almost think they don't mean literally "all guys" when it's said, but it certainly comes out that way. Like if I said "I wish all women would stop being such dumb bitches", I'd probably be assaulted for it.

How much does this annoy others, if it does?

Question:

Why does the opinion of a random nobody who's clearly an idiot matter to you?

It's one of my buttons, simply put. It's not like I WANT it to matter, it just annoys me.

Believe me, I actively try to ignore it.

i get what you mean, usually nothing bugs me at all, even douchebags dont tend to push my buttons, but when a feminazi goes raging about stuff like this every single bone in my body wants to hadouken her till she shuts up.

 

[NeutralDrow]

Really? I was going to say it's like... "I'm going to kill you, and subsequently your corpse will fertilize the ground, and therefore at some point or another your ass will have facilitated the creation of grass. It will be grass, if you will. Or some other type of foliage that does not rhyme with 'ass.'"

That's a bit, well...involved for a fairly simple threat. I'd think most people would stop before the whole "grass growing" thing, were that the case (something like "I'll water my lawn with your blood").

 

[Wharrgarble]

Men complain just as often as they claim women complain.

Men can be assholes just as often as women can be bitches.

See where I'm going with this?

 

[OtherSideofSky]

Any statement of "All of X is Y," or "All of X is better than Y." is inherently false.

unless the term "better" is well defined.

Or X = Y or X is a subset of Y. Or X can be empirically determined to be superior than Y.

This.
A million times this.

I really hate overarching, generic, hurtful statements that no one could possibly have the research to back up, but I'm also irritatingly pedantic and love to clarify things in great detail so as to avoid misunderstandings.
Really, though, anyone who says something like that is hardly encouraging anyone they just insulted to be nice to them.

I absolutely hate that. I had a girlfriend who's past boyfriends had been like that and all her friends were saying I was gonna use her for sex and then leave her. And when I did break up with her (without using her!) she basically said the same thing.

Another thing I hate is that thing about not being able to hit girls, not that I'd want to its just that it doesn't make sense that women fight to be equal to men in society and then contradict it by saying you shouldn't hit them.

Just to be clear I'm not saying violence torwards women is ok, just that it's contradictory to complain about sexism one second and then the next say something like that/

 

[dfcrackhead]

It doesn't bother me, because when someone says that, I get to step in and be a genuine nice person, and change their perception entirely. I do not discriminate, I am nice to anyone and everyone.

Unless you're mean to me.

Then your ass is grass.

This is why I never say that phrase:

Spoiler

OT:I've never really had a girl say that to me because I'm usually nice so whenever they say that it's always followed with "Except you... And some of our friends.... Sorry"

 

[Dr Snakeman]

Sounds like those kinds of women have been watching too much Lifetime...

Any Lifetime is too much. And yes, they have been.

Also, human beings are jerks. Of course men are likewise jerk-ish, we are human beings.

 

[Wintermoot]

I,m not bothered by stufff like that unlike the USA, Feminists arent Feminazi,s here
