Do you think its disgusting how rough society is on the men? Sure we are the stronger sex but we do have feeling too and we are not all emotionally retarded cavemen.

The girls on this site will disagree with this but i feel that women do get special treatment in society whereas men don't. A lot of guys are raised up too respect women but people are not taught too respect men as such. I guess society views women as vulnrable creatures who need protecting but i think females abuse there powers by being downright rude just being there in a superior position too guys.

Its not just women either but men treat other males like dirt as well. Women treat other with a lot of respect and admiration whereas guys just grunt at each other.


Bascially we are all human beings and should be treated as equal as the treating people differently based on there gender is favourtism in my view.

do u agree with me?

You know reading your post made me wonder at first if you were joking, but after looking at some of your other posts I think you are being serious.

I think you are using theories on society and men and women that have been proven false for quite some time now. The opposite is true of many things you stated, though I can understand that it may be confusing to you. I also think you are still under the influence of a very long standing propaganda.

Throughout most of the world women are held in something close to slavery. Even in developed countries, such as yours and mine, women are still to a significant degree 2nd class citizens.

The 'preferential treatment' you mention is often one of two things: 1) An attempt to give simply equal rights (not superior). or 2) A very common way men attempt to use their status/position/power to set up and then use women physically.

I think you are really pretty far behind the curve in understanding, but would suggest you try to view it from the opposite perspective, imagine what it is trully like to live in their shoes. If you can do this, I think you are in for an eye-opener.

I agree with this. People should be treated equally regardless of gender. But I disagree with the rest: women are treated as fragile (as you said), which means they are seen as inferior to men. Men, on the other hand, need to be "invulnerable" in order to fulfill their expected roles.

Of course, there is exploitation from both sides, but that is not the norm (I think).

We need gender equality. And racial equality. And neurodiversity equality. And sexual orientation equality. Really, the world is a very messed up place: we need to change a lot of things.

We need a revolution in our schools. We need to teach future generations how to be better than we are.

And I am talking like a politician. I hate politics, therefore, I will shut up now.
