Men Are the Evil Sex

Men commit more violence than women, and are more likely to resort to aggressive tactics to resolve disputes. Men created the atomic bomb and this threatens the extinction of the entire human race.

Men lack the nurturing capabilities of women, and not infrequently leave their women when their women become pregnant.

Men have subjugated women and treated them as second-class citizens for thousands of years. Men refuse to give women a chance to run corporations, even when men have a consistent track record of failure. Despite the mass slaughter initiated by greedy and self-serving male politicians throughout history and especially the 20th century, women have been given very few chances to run nations as heads of state.

The vast majority of sex offenders, especially of children, are men. Every year many thousands of women are raped. Women cannot go outside alone to many places for fear of getting raped. Women lack the freedoms that men take for granted.

Men have sexually commodified women, forcing poor or desperate women to sell themselves as strippers, porn stars, and prostitutes. Men objectify women in this society. Men manipulate women -- telling them they love them and that they are special -- to get sex.

In the Muslim world men believe they own women, and if their daughters commit an act bringing shame to the family, they run the risk of being murdered by male relatives. In some societies a woman who behaves out of line can get raped with no possibility of the rapists getting punished for their deed.

Are not men the evil sex?

 

Men seem to be involved in more good and bad then women.

Women just need a good chance to be evil, that's all.

Men are historically the more expansive sex.

This has led to great good for the world in terms of science, medicine, and society which men have been the more visible counterparts through history, although women have been certainly largely involved.

Men have also been more visible in the more digusting aspects of society, war, murder, violence, sectarianism, rape...

Women have been at a forefront of this too. Neither one is important as a historical footnote, but rather, we should take it as history to learn how to deal with societal problems. Both men and women must together learn how to deal with problems in the 21st century and come up with the best solutions for us all.

We're all people, and men have a duty to look after women, as women do to men.

 

And women don't shut up. QED.

 

Its a pity you choose to revive feminism
in such a pre-enlightenment way -
Your moms ideas are best - you stick with them
Just a pity that feminism isnt even in the park
let alone on the field of play and hasnt been for 10 years
its a hasbeen thang
I am a man and I would agree men are evil
I really enjoy being evil
First of all I slaughter 3 chickens on an alter
in the local church which I break into - then I do
these unspeakable rituals and dance around throwing
the chickens in the air After this the lord Satan appears and I
promise to do his bidding in the world
usually he just wants me to go down the shops and buy Begels
but I sometimes get coffee at starbucks
Sometimes I sacrifice goats
On the way I spit at lesbians (if I see any)
and freak hippies out by pretending I'm gonna beat shit out of em
I am an evil Anarchist

 

yeah...men just don't seem to be...as advanced as most women. but, not all men are "evil".

 

The sheer ananity of your post astounds me. Men are no more evil than women. There are plenty of evil women who if they were in power would do the same things as men. Look at Condoleezza Rice. Case closed.

I notice you male bashers always hasten to post your gender. Sometimes before you post, sometimes after you catch shit for it. Whether you are a man or not, you're still an idiot. No one think what you're saying is more fair or balanced because you're ragging on the illusory group that you belong to (within the illusion) rather than the one you do not.

 

i like how everyone that posted in this thread is male (kinda funny dontcha think)
both sexes have thier problems
'evil' varies from person to person

 

I've yet to hear of a guy who pulls a 'fake pregnancy' to keept a relationship going.

 

I initiated this thread for several reasons:

(1) To attempt, however weak, to remove myself, as a male, from the identity politics too many people in our society are involved in. Thus, an exercise in objectivity, in which one's own group is criticized, can be a healthy exercise.

(2) To see if men react differently than women to such provocations as strings of negative generalizations and comments about one's sex. It turns out that knee-jerk reactions are about as common among men as among women.

(3) To bring more evenness to these forums if in fact women are unfairly attacked in the Women's Forum.

Getting back to my notion of men and women having different natures, and with that complementary social roles, it seems logical that the evil practiced by men, given their social capabilities, would differ in nature from that of women.

Historically women have stood by their men when men committed evil. Women often use passive-aggressive tactics, and, in competing against other women, can be quite vicious towards one another.

Women are limited by physical strength. But they also have less testosterone, which makes them innately less violent. So women may in fact have a virtue (due to hormones) many men lack. However, many women in power have shown as much or more bloodlust as men, as one person pointed out on this thread.

 

yes most men not all are "evil."

 

the opener of this thread gave a valid answer to his own question, wonderful.
i think women´s 'goodness' over men´s 'evilness' has yet to be proven

 

Men are no more all evil then women are all week, whenever you start talking in vast generalzations the smell of bullshit follows right behind.

Now I am getting outa here before I need hip waders and a damn shovel!

 

Less of the gender stats nonsense!!
It's people who hold power (grand or trivial) that do evil things.

Yes, It is the case (more so in underdeveloped parts of the world) that in this current patriarchal society, men have more of the power.

Our gender is not evil. The ease with which humans abuse their power is evil.

 

i agree with this totally....so i guess i am a feminist....but I mean we always say women have the same opportunities as men....mabye legally they do....but hell no they dont in society....

 

Well we are all one. So, saying anyone else is evil is just calling yourself evil. We are all infinite love, not "men" and "women". If you remain in a state of seperation you'll never be free.

 

honestly, this wise young woman (i just quoted) summed it all up brilliantly. even though i strongly suspect that your post is not entirely serious (and there's nothing wrong w/that. i have a special fondness for satire. swift and vonnegut are 2 of my fave writers, etc.)--yes, we have charles manson to try and figure out? (will we ever?) at the same time, we have lizzie borden. oh, and i do think she was "quite" guilty. even though she was able to afford a good lawyer (much like nicole simpson's murderer was able to "buy" his own freedom.) so perhaps money and status are truly what we should be examining here? instead of the male/female thing? just a thought. but no--most men are not evil. in the same way that most women are not. and we should be thankful for that!

much peace and love to you,

jenny

And your point?

 

I think men are socialized to be 'evil' so to speak, and encouraged to push the limits more than women are. I would say that men and women are socialized to presume men are more capable of evil. Men are taught to work well independently and pressed to do social activities alone - whereas women are taught to work together, and to progress collectively in social situations. Men are more likely taught as children to be physically adventurous in social activities with their peers; to be aggressive, strong, and to fight against the evil-bad-men in the world in spite of their fears, all in the face of bravery. Thus they discover a sense of contentious personal pride through combative victories and justly deserved struggles. Those who persevere are meritoriously strong and praised. For boys - bravery is an exaggerated mountain that is more important than any other quality; it teaches boys that some things are worth dying for, it's worth taking certain risks, and it's just a compulsory pre-requisite in order to achieve the necessary self-praise and respect from their peers.

Personal failure is not an option for some men and they are afraid of it. Women are afraid of failure just as equally. However women are more willing to share the lime-light of success in the spirit of the process and in order to eliminate the risks and fears of personal failure. Women are socialized to achieve personal success by taking the lead, the intiative, and then are socialized to maintain legitimacy of the lead through a continual process of authentication, demonstration and devotion.

Women have an exceptional understanding of right and wrong at a very young age, for the most part. Typically women in positions of authority and power are more likely to respond (in favour or not in favour) to the demands of the people whom works for/with. Women are taught to share a sense of personal responsibility equally with a collective responsibility.

Men in positions of authority and power have a tendency to expressively demonstrate their bravery, in order to maintain the legitimacy of their leadership and their devotion through a willingness to take personal responsibility and take a few hits for the team so to speak. Men enjoy work where they are able to protect and defend the people they work for/with. They are also encouraged in the process to show some strength and capably take a risk and hit back.

This kind of socialization is incredibly confusing for young men. Oftentimes they feel persuaded by a sense of personal responsibility and ownership and have difficulty understanding the nature of its compatability with what is viewed as a reputable success.

Men are probably more socially deviant when it comes to acts of violence because they are perfectly acceptable and tolerated in certain situations. Some people believe certain violent acts are noble and honourable. It's confusing.

 

Someone needs to watch elimidate!!!
