Random snippet of wisdom I came up with about the sexes

Post Reply New Topic

A jealous man is just pathetic... but a jealous woman is DANGEROUS.

I've seen that many places before.

That's why my middle name is Danger.

I guess I can't take credit for it then It isn't that hard to come up with, after all...

I know I'm just being pedantic but WP is a place where that's accepted. And so....a jealous man is far more dangerous than a jealous woman. Jealousy is the motive men frequently give when asked why they murdered their wives or girlfriends. Jealousy is also behind a lot of domestic violence committed by men. Jealous men are pathetic. But they are frequently also murderously dangerous to the women who caused that jealousy.

sexist

This was sort of meant to be tongue-in-cheek so I don't want to dissect it TOO much...

Certainly there are jealous men who are dangerous. But this saying was more intended to reflect the general population, not those who are pathologically, psychologically disturbed, and whose purpose in life is to inflict pain (physical or psychological) on others.

I guess what I am saying is, a jealous man is oftentimes much more easy to figure out because their motives are so carnal much of the time, whereas women who are jealous tend to craft intricate schemes over long periods of time that the men who are their targets tend to not figure out or at the very least deny.

As a man, I believe that women are generally more cunning and we as men should respect that, because it's what makes us human.

At any rate, I think jealousy is mostly a foreign concept to Aspergians-- I don't believe I've ever felt it, at least not in the usual sense-- so we have the chance to analyze it more objectively than the NT population.

I think jealous both sexes are dangerous.

I agree.

Same here
