I just had a chat with a bunch of girls that started off on the topic of weight loss. When one of them mentioned "most men are pervs", the others immediately agreed. In fact, I found myself the only one to disagree after which I was attacked as a traitor to my sex.

Conversations like this are very common not just on the web but in every day life too not to mention the media. I only mention this particular one because it was the most recent a few hours ago. If anything, this was a mild version compared with some I've seen. We're basically living in a kind of glorification of anything feminine. Check out my article on female supremacy for lots more on that topic.

I can't help but wondering how it must be like to go through life with everyone you meet having the first impression that you're a pervert, potential rapist or violent sociopath. Myself I only started wondering from my acquaintance with my dear love who seems to suffer from this more than most guys. Well if I was in such a situation, I would find myself over compensating by being extra nice and kind and to make sure my 'potential victims' don't get too scared. I'd try my absolute best not to show any sign of attraction or even DARE to touch them without a formal contract. Now, I love sensitive men and I like being the initiator so we clicked perfectly. Fortunately, there are a lot of men like that now days and its not surprising. The only problem is, that those men are nearly always rejected by women because they say they want a "real man". Don't ask me why cause I love the unreal men but I'm a freak.

So as a man you're either a pervert or you're a wimp. You can even be both but you're definitely going to be at least one of the two when you leave your home.

The other popular belief is that nobody needs men and that they're useless. It is soooo untrue and shamelessly childish to say or even think that. If this was true, then who's running the farms and power plants, the steal, coal and gold mines? Who built the houses we're sitting in right now? Who invented all of those things that we take for granted every minute of our lives? What about sewers for a really nice example? Still think men are useless with all that in mind? Perhaps you should reconsider. The truth is, and it took me a few years of growing up to admit, that without men, society wouldn't be better. There would be no society in the first place. We'd just live like wild animals our only aim in life would be naked survival from one minute to the next and with no time for complaining about gender inequality.

Being a man in today's feminist society has got to be a living nightmare compared with what it's like for women. Honestly, most of us women have no idea how much easier it is for us on average (if you have doubts then you should become acquainted with the male suicide rate. Not a nice statistic at all). It's not surprising that men are becoming more feminine (which I like). Don't blame them for it when they're only trying to survive in a world that despises and punishes maleness.

With the increasing influence of women, this will not be feasible much longer. I wrote in my article on the matriarchy, how we will sooner or later not have a choice but to start caring about the male gender. With this more optimistic thought I'll leave the rant for today.

Actually, you assertion that without men we'd be like "wild animals" is completely false. There is good archeological evidence which shows that women were the inventors or agriculture, alphabets, and even mathematics. On a different note, we absolutely do not live in a "feminist world" right now. Maybe among your feminist girlfriends this seems possible but in the "real" political and capitalistic world we all live and work and die in, society is still utterly dominated by men, with very few exceptions. I'm a feminist transmale, and even I can see this. It's not fair, but it's the way things are at least for now.

Thank you Lucy. I'm a 19 year old male and I have felt like that all the time in my life. I'm always wondering if the girl im talking to is afraid of me thinking im a rapist or something. women constantly make me hate myself for being a guy. Saying things like "All men are the same", like my mom has, or "I hate all men", it really makes me want to just kill myself sometimes. I realize there's a lot bad men out there, but we aren't all like that. My girlfriend would agree. Thankyou Lucy =] If we all had the maturity about the opposite sex like you do, I think the world would be a much better place. Both genders are equally great and important. Actually I think there aren't that many bad men around. Just for some reason they get all the attention so it seems like they're everywhere.

As for women who say all men are alike, my come back is all women are alike in the fact they are so negative about everything. As for trying to be extra nice to women so he won't be considered to be a pervert, I have had this action blow up in my face. Women will start thinking what is he up to because he is so nice. There are times I think women deep down wants to be treated like dirt. I for one do not wish to lower myself to this action.

Its so much more sublime if women stick to their feminine beauty which makes the world beautiful!! The other point is that men cant stay without women and viceversa!! It is thus best that we dont get judgemental about supremacy or usefulness of the sexes!!

Its not so much that women want to be treated like dirt its more a control issue. I certainly do not profess to understanding the mind of a woman but I certainly believe they like to get their own way and if they dont then the most common form of defense seems to be that they "Play the victim" I will get shot for this comment but in my 38 yrs of life I have had the whole victim thing thrown up in my face more times than I can count. This is evident when they start to generalize "All Men Are." and even when a woman is in the wrong she will attack and say "Its because you did ." its never a womans fault and if it is they can not accept it is their fault so it must be the mans fault in all situations.

And that is exactly how the most insincere of male 2 word replies was born. Its a common answer that many a nagging or unreasonable female partner would have heard. But it is a problem caused by both men and women. In society we tend to think of things like this:

If a man does something bad, he's evil.

If a woman does something bad, it's because someone drove her to do it usually a man.

People just can't seem to want to assign the same responsibility to women as they do to men. That ultimately holds women back.

Thanks for your article Lucy83.

Also, I would like to see a good socio psychological study of pop literature including movies, videos and TV shows for how female and males are portrayed, their traits and how they treat each other. I suspect we may find some support for your observations there. There are precious few portrayals of healthy male female/husband wife relationships. I would rank Bill Cosby as an exception. It seems nearly all others are whiney, dysfunctional, contentious, self centered, stubborn, etc. I have a hard time watching them. All In The Family was contentious and dysfunctional but at least ended each episode on a fairly level playing field for the moment.
