Who knew men were so victimized in our society…? Poor things…

While there are about fifty contradictions in this post, I’d like to point out that maybe the reason more men are victims of violent crimes, is because more MEN commit violent crimes than women (and when you embrue yourself in that world of crime, you tend to piss off people who are willing to also commit violent crimes), and that might also be why there are more prison rapes… rapists and violent criminals go to prison… if you’re there with them, you just put yourself in a position where there’s a greater number of ill-socialized, violent men than in the normal population. That’s just scratching the surface at the number of fallacies in this post.

My advice for young men is the same as for young women:

1. Be a good person, pay it forward, and people will tend to be there for you when you need a little help yourself.

2. Find someone you truly love, and they truly love you, and then trust each other because that is the person who will go to bat for you when you need it (the problem is usually that people think they’ve picked the right one and then find out they really haven’t, but that doesn’t mean that they should lose faith in loving another person– it means they should learn how to do a better job of choosing a partner).

3. Don’t say things you don’t mean to or about anyone else.

4. Be the person to set a good example even if no one else is– they may need you to do it for them.

5. If you do what you love and persevere, you will end up at the top of your game regardless of your gender, race, or age. And any excuse that blames someone else for not getting you there (”my school was a bastion of femininity,” “I didn’t get a degree because it went to a woman/black/poor person”, etc) are just excuses so that you don’t have to examine why you–yes you– failed.

6. Life isn’t fair, but sometimes it rolls in your favor, and sometimes it doesn’t. The only time we grow into better, more self-sufficient people is when it’s NOT in our favor, so appreciate your bad luck as much as your good.

7. Don’t hate anyone, belittle anyone, pick on anyone.

8. Don’t be led by a false sense of “superiority” because you’re a “genius young male.” The truth is… if you haven’t made a contribution to the world that was worthwhile, you’re in the same boat as everyone else who hasn’t (young, old, male or female). And if you have, it doesn’t really matter how old you are or what your gender is… you’ve done more than most.

9. Be happy. Life is short. Forgive people– not for them, but for yourself.

I’ve read that over a few times and still can’t figure out what you’re trying to say since there are words missing.

I’m sure that the higher sex drive does account for some men to rape in prison, but there are also men in prison who do choose to just masturbate rather than actually force sex on other men. They do have a choice in how they deal with their sex drives. That’s like saying that’s why men outside of prison rape women because they have high sex drives and if there are nights they can’t get laid, they just rape. That’s not really true. Every study on rapists has shown that rape is a violent crime– not a sex crime and is motivated by issues other than sex drive.

I don’t understand why you’re saying women outside of jail probably should be in jail since violent things only happen to violent people. You’re twisting words. I never said violent things ONLY happen to violent people. I’d love for you to show me where I said that, because I didn’t. But it is true that people who commit violent crimes, hang out with other people who commit violent crimes, and engage in activity where they are in the proximity of violent people more often, will more likely be victims of violence than someone who doesn’t put themselves in that situation (example– gang members are more likely to be shot by gang members or police than someone who has no affiliation with a gang and doesn’t live in a gang-infested neighborhood).

And again, more things I didn’t say… I never said men in jail deserve to be raped. Seriously, are you on crack? Or did you just not read anything I actually said in my comment?

I’m sure you are curious about the other fallacies… but maybe you should stick with trying to focus on the first couple things I said first. I’m not sure you should try to move on since my first comments seem to be a little over your head right now.

Everyone has a right to voice their opinion– even crazy Vicki. If “the look” makes Christopher uncomfortable, he has every right to say so, and if you’ve never been one to give him “the look,” then I’m not sure why you’d be offended, Sam. Are you suggesting that there are no gay men that do that? Because I’m sure they do…

But Sam has a right to say he’s offended by Christopher’s comment as well… surely Christopher must expect that many of his comments do offend people so it shouldn’t be a surprise. However, I agree with Chris that if that comment offended you… you probably shouldn’t peruse too much of this site.

Christopher is in charge of the little flags. And I’m pretty sure he knows the U.S. is no longer under British rule, so… hrmmm…

There is no registration on this site. Why? Because Christopher and I HATE sites that make you register before you can comment. So… all you really have to do is keep coming back and chiming in whenever a post “strikes your fancy” (omg… I can totally sound British when I want to ). You can also tell us about yourself if you’d like by filling out that little questionnaire on the ‘Our Readers’ page in the Topics box on the left hand menu.

I hope you can especially relate to that part about stepping aside when an elderly person stumbles in front of you. Keep in mind that real men never help anyone– particularly old people. Old people are the scurge of society. Real men don’t even help their own grandmothers. If you keep on your way and never help anyone else, you will definitely be the type of guy that women want to marry and father their children.

Hzqi, why do you hate women so much? Were you the boy in school that the pretty girls always told to fuck off? Your animosity toward women in general — and me in particular– comes across as extreme.

Let me address just a few of your points.

“I’ve twice seen men get restraining orders taken out against them, by women that have attacked them plenty, and they’ve never attacked them once. They see the system as their little toy of revenge for their own grievances. Trying to tarnish image.”

First, let me explain something about statistics. That is not one. Just because you’ve witnessed something happen twice (which is also a fallacy because it is impossible for you to have been with said couples every single minute of every day to know the reality– I’m guessing your information is coming from the male counterparts who told you that they “never attacked the women even once”), does not mean that two instances can color an entire gender. I’m sure what you’re suggesting happens, does happen. I’m also sure that there are men who abuse their wives and girlfriends and are never arrested at all. Does that mean all men are abusers? No. Are all women who turn their husbands in for abuse, lie? No. Does your example mean anything other than you think you’re familiar with two cases where the woman lied about the man and got him arrested? No. It doesn’t.

“Schools are fucking over boys, but we seem to get it together in the end.” I’m not sure how you think boys are being “fucked over.” Are they not receiving the same curriculum as girls sitting in the same classrooms? I think they are. In addition, your statement implies that despite their disadvantages in school, the male gender seems to miraculously be able to somehow teach themselves and aren’t affected by your claim of such inferior academic education. You have a lot of confidence in boys to be able to do that. As a matter of fact, if that were the case, why do we require boys to attend school at all? Are they not miraculous self-educating beings? I think if you take a look at the countries where children are not being educated (even rural areas of this country), you’ll see that children (both boys and girls) rarely tend to excel without an education, so I think the education boys are getting is having somewhat of a positive impact on them. You say that “most” men who’ve paved the way have dropped out of universities? I simply don’t agree. Take the CEOs of the top 500 companies and I promise you the majority of them have college degrees. List the top 100 most important inventions in the last 50 years and I promise you the majority of the inventors have college degrees.

The stigma against hitting women has nothing to do with half the population being male and half being female. It has to do with the fact that men, on average, are heavier and stronger than women. If you’d like me to explain the obvious anatomical differences, I can, but since most of our readers already understand that concept, I’ll skip them the boring details and let you look it up on wikipedia on your own time. In short, women have been called the “weaker sex” because quite frankly, we are physically weaker. I don’t think that makes men superior as much as I don’t think women are superior because our bodies allow us to make babies, but I suppose if you had trouble seeing the bigger picture and how both sexes compliment each other both physically and emotionally, you might choose to see one as superior over the other. So while I agree it’s not right for a woman to hit a man, in most cases, a man will not sustain the injuries a woman will if the situation were reversed.

“Not only does society tolerate the “cuteness” of women being aggressive, it flaunts it.”

This is an interesting comment because you specifically use the word “society.” I think it’s predominately men who find it cute when women are aggressive. It’s not women going to see female mud wrestling or WWE female wrestling. It’s men. And men find female aggression “cute” because it’s innocuous. When men see a woman excel in something physical and they get that surprised, impressed look in their eye and say, “Wow, she’s actually pretty good” it’s because their expectation is that she won’t be. I also don’t think society tolerates little girls fighting as much as it tolerates little boys fighting. When a little girl gets into a fight, she’s called a tomboy which means she’s “boy-like.” When little boys fight, some parents (not all, but some) blow it off and accept it as something boys just do.

“We have universities with female majorities yet, continue to peddle their little misandry programs of neurotic women’s studies. Without male comparative. They’re actively encouraged, lured, supported, and funded at every turn.”

While I agree that there are some classes offered under the umbrella of “women’s studies” that serve no other purpose than to promote extreme feminist views, that could be said for many types of classes that promote one-sided views on politics, ethics, and diversity. I’m not sure they’re encouraged, lured, supported, and funded at every turn. The reality is, there isn’t a single major university that allocates more funds to women’s studies than it does to their sports programs. And if your claim was true, then all students would be REQUIRED to take a women’s studies class regardless of their major– and they aren’t. Women’s studies classes are, as far as I know, an elective.

“You presume that the only reason men are more predominant victims of violent crime, is because they’re the ones commiting it. Hate to ask for a sound deduction, but that makes a leap. Yes, it’s generally true that more violent crime comes from males, but A) That doesn’t theoretically support your point. They could just as easily be commiting the crimes against women.”

I disagree. It does support my point. You’re trying to simplify this and say well if men are victims of violent crimes because they’re committing them, then what about the ones who are committing crimes against women– women must be responsible for committing the violent crimes back which is what makes the majority of violent crime victims men. The leap there is that you’re suggesting all male violent crime victims are committing only one crime, either against a male or a female. Statistics show that is not the case. It is true that there are men (and women) who have not committed a violent crime ever and who become victims of a violent crime. It’s for this reason that a lot of parents who are living in rough neighborhoods would prefer to move away from those neighborhoods so that their children can be safe from random crime. But it’s also true that a young man who gets involved in gangs, is at a much higher risk of being a victim of a violent crime by opposing gangs than the general public is. Crime’s funny that way. You start getting involved with people who feel it’s fine to commit violent crime (and you gravitate to them because you’re like them in that way) and you expose yourself to more violent crime, and increase your risk of becoming a victim yourself. You’re basically choosing to be in an environment where violence is prevalent. That’s with regards to gang members and the like. Studies have also shown that aggression and violence can be linked to testosterone and seratonin levels. Men, as a gender, and based on their natural hormone levels, tend to be the more aggressive of the species. That aggression does account for many successes that can be attributed to men, but it can also account for why men– as a whole– commit more violent crimes. This is not a new medical discovery. If you haven’t realized that men and women approach things differently and think differently and are affected by hormones differently, then you haven’t spent much time with women– which is my guess.

“Christine is sure a cute one.” Actually, I am. Like many of the girls you’ve spent countless nights lying in bed trying to picture naked, spitting on your hand and jerking your cock, while at the same time cursing because you were– again– rejected by one because in one conversation with you, she was insightful enough to not be duped by your impressive vocabulary (which you’ve developed to overcompensate for your lack of anything intelligent to actually say). And the fact that she wasn’t dumb, and saw right through you and wanted to have nothing to do with you (like so many others) made you angry. So as you yank at your little member wishing there was someone there with– oh yes– a vagina to do it for you, the anger swells inside you and it becomes much easier to hate the female gender than to take a long introspective look at yourself and admit that you’re simply, unwanted.

Okay, yes, that was kind of mean, but you really shouldn’t have called us noisy, nagging fucks. LOL. Boy, Hzqi, you musta had one hell of a mother, darlin.’
