[/quote]
I want to comment on this, but before I do, can you be a little more clear as to the type of situation you are refering to?
An example maybe?[/quote]
Iâm pretty sensitive to it, so in my opinion itâs stuff as minor as bitterly noting that oneâs child is âgoing through the terrible twos,â or âif heâd been my first, heâd be my last.â Parents longing out loud for summer because theyâre sick of their kids and want them to go back to school. But of course it goes from there. I work with a family currently thatâs in decent shape, but the (single) dad reaches his frustration limit very quickly and then consistently starts assassinating the kidâs character, e.g. âsee, this is how you areâŠI could give you a gold-plated iPad and you wouldnât be happy.â Which is a dismaying leap from the types of things she says to prompt it, e.g. âI feel like youâre always mad at me.â
All-out verbal attacks are worse, of course. But I donât like even minor disses. I suppose I believe that the parent who resents their two-year-oldâs curiosity and energy is going to eventually mold that kid into the kind of behavioral wretch who draws all-out verbal assaults.
See, this makes me sad. I donât insult menâs masculinity not because Iâm not allowed to, but because why would I want to? I like to think men donât hit women because there is no gain or good in it, not because itâs taboo. [/quote]
I am against anyone hitting anyoneâŠbut I also know that women like to push buttons to get the maximum response. Guys donât hit women even when women hit them because they will go to jail for it and it is seen as a cultural negative, that is the only reason.
I have seen women full out hit their guy and if a guy even retaliated at all, he would go to jail. This is not fair and I think we need to keep pointing it out until there is a flashlight on it and society changes.

I would take Chushinâs admonishment to choose wives carefully and expand it to include friends. I donât want to hear a woman joke about her manâs lack of sexual prowess or endowment the same way I donât want to hear men calling their women fat and lazy or vapid, clucking hens. Sure, it may be true in either case, but but I seek people of higher calibre generally than to think itâs fun or acceptable to publicly humiliate others. [/quote]
OhâŠme tooâŠbut I also live in the real world in a big city. I see a lot. I saw a couple (both known by me) who got into a argument. The girl made a comment about having another man raise her son other than he who is the real father because he lost his job. She ran at him and he pushed her. I think what he did was wrongâŠbut I also know she knew her comment was going to push him over the egde before she said it.
So, in my opinion, the responsibility to correct the deeper issue falls in the hands of BOTH PEOPLE in that scenario.
She should watch her words. He shouldnât push her.
Women believing they can say anything because no one will hurt them is a part of the problem.
I am just man enough to say that without the white knight syndrome.
So do I. I canât stand to hear a parent call a child stupid.
They donât know the overall damage that can do.

And X, one more timeâŠyou cannot generalize from that goddamn Oprah show to all women and imagine they think that level of violence is funny. I donât know what happened thereâŠweird dynamics on the part of people on vacation and making it onto the show, some sort of behind-the-scene fluffing of the audience in that direction, or what, but it was one thing 15 years ago. Should I generalize that all men want to punch their wives and girlfriends because of the âfunnyâ domestic violence posters? Or should I just assume (as I do) that shared laughter over such things is just a weird public-persona thing for most men and not take it too seriously?[/quote]
I understand what you mean about the generalizationâŠbut seriously, I am betting what I wrote here is seen by MANY guys right here if they are willing to admit it.
It is just taboo today for a man to even admit his girl can be a witch at times and it takes all out constraint to not react like it.[/quote]
I just think you should substitute âimmature peopleâ or âidiotsâ for âwomenâ in your examples of wrongdoing. I think there are approximately the same number of people, percentage-wise, who denigrate partners as who denigrate children, and I imagine that the degrees of awfulness track similarly. Some people just suck. Youâre right that all women can be witchesâŠeveryone is a jerk at times. But people who do it because they gain satisfaction from it are a distinct subset, as are the similarly inclined men.
I was thinking about you D*ck Complexers last night. I was out with a couple in the process of breaking up (though Iâm not sure if she knows it). First shocking moment came after I closed the drop-leaf on my side of the table and shifted to be closer to my boyfriend (noisy pub, music was starting) (but mostly I did it because I like being near him). All of us wound up shifting and the woman we were with started to move further from her guy, but then said âor do you want me to move over there with you?â He said âI donât give a shit where you sit.â Ouch. Later the woman said something like âwhen I want to shut R up I justâŠâ Which strikes me as disrespectful. They were late arriving because they apparently had a fight and havenât spoken since Tuesday (they live together), and she texted him to say âwe need to talk.â But then didnât show up for two hours. He talks/jokes about her at work. Just this terrible feedback loop of unpleasantness and disrespect. The Black-Eyed Peas and I wonder, where is the love?
Still, statistically speaking, fifty percent of the people at that table last night went home in a state of happy cohesiveness after having spent the evening being pleasant and respectful to their partner. It wasnât the two women who went home happy because they got to push buttons without getting hit in response while the two men went home sad because they couldnât fight back.
All-out verbal attacks are worse, of course. But I donât like even minor disses. I suppose I believe that the parent who resents their two-year-oldâs curiosity and energy is going to eventually mold that kid into the kind of behavioral wretch who draws all-out verbal assaults.

I agree, but there is a difference between a parent venting to another parent or adult, and addressing their child directly in a put-down type way. In refernce to the terrible two comments, and I canât wait for school to start comments.
In general there is a difference between saying to a child:
you are stupid
what you did was stupid
donât do anything stupid
You made a poor choice
I tend to use #4, but could use 2 or 3 with with my 15 year old at this point. 5-7 years ago I wouldnât dream of anything other than 4. (There is obvi more to the conversation than that, butâŠ)
Something Iâve noticed among my friends, myself and my kids is that they/we respond better to a parent that expressed, in a calm mannor, that they are/were disappointed in a choice, than they responded to being yelled at or put down. People that put down their kids are lazy and/or ignorant. But, some kids need to be yelled at now and again and punished. It goes a long way to sit down with them and talk, calmly, afterward about the situation. (For example my son smart mouthed me about the lawn 2 summers ago, and it took me 3 hours before I was calm enough to have a conversation with him, so he sat in his room until then⊠And if I had ever spoke to my mother that way I would have had the taste slapped out of my mouth, but I was a total dickhead as a kid, he isnât.)
I was an asshole as a child, and as such, became conditioned to yelling. It did nothing to me, and I was smart enough to stop before the asswhooping started after catching my second, lol. I found my motherâs red line early in life and toed it, never crossed it. My aunt used the wooden spoon so I didnât even approach the redline with her.
Being a parent isnât easy, in fact it is the hardest job on Earth. So venting frustration is expected and I am taken aback by people that look down on that. I mean everyone knows all the answers to being a parent, until they are one, and then they see in a full on âholy shitâ type moment where it all comes from. There is zero excuse for venting at the child, or putting the child down, but those people arenât parents, they are, in the kindest terms, glorified babysitters.

Venting to another parent out of earshot of the child is not what Iâm talking about. Iâm talking about expressing resentment, in front of the child, of the childâs very existence through these harmless little vents. I donât agree with broadcasting to your kid that youâre just not that into it. And going back to the romantic relationship, I say the same. No one wants the reluctant, long-suffering wife/husband/mom/dad.
You will NEVER hear me speak out against discipline, and while I donât think yelling is best, you wonât hear me judging it particularly unless itâs the go-to, in which case you will hear me gently suggest that if you yell every time you need something from your child, you will train your child to wait until you yell before responding. As you note above. Same with physical punishment.
Same with romantic relationships. I preach generosity of spirit, but you will never hear me suggest that anyone should accept consistently poor treatment.
Youâll also never catch me saying that I havenât been an unmitigated, yelling asshole to both romantic partners and children. I have! But I donât like character assassination from any direction. Itâs passive-aggressive and insidious and nasty. Venting is entirely different, and I quite approve of reaching out to others to reduce stress through shared humor over finding last weekâs dinner hidden under the couch or teen angst or dating or being married long term or what have you.

Your avatar sort of cuts off, so itâs hard to tell⊠(Kidding! I donât look at menâs packages on the internet. Or anywhere! Except the one Iâm supposed to. Unless itâs unavoidable, which sometimes it is.)
As to your question, and speaking only for myself, I think the reason YOU get the response you do is that you use the term âwomenâ without any qualifiers, which makes it seem that you attribute these terrible qualities to all women which, letâs face it, doesnât make you sound particularly inclined to warmth toward the group. They are vicious, conniving, irrational and grasping, as viewed through the lens you offer. Who wouldnât hate them?

Blazing insecurity from society, coupled with constant competition from other women.
Women do not get dressed up for men, they get dressed up for other women, to match up to the competition other women provide.
Women talk shit about other women, how they dress or how they look. Have you ever heard men doing this ? Hell no, because we are trying to bury our cockasaurus into some vag, rather than partake in a sword fight with Joe Nobody.
Manâs greatest wing-man is another woman. Competition makes men more attractive, without a single change on a manâs part.
