Yes except women tend to internalize rejection and men will become aggressive or violent with rejection. Look into the statistical trends: who is doing the killing and abuse for being rejected? Primarily men. It is not an equal thing yet.

Perhaps in your dreams, @demifeministgal. I've run into women who dress very provocatively to control men, and I find that repulsive. When I don't give the attention they desire they sometimes get furious and accuse me of being gay, which I'm not, but don't mind it. They often do this quite vocally to try to embarrass me and get even madder when I don't react. They are definitely not internalizing their feelings.

@ldheinz Again, statistical trends trump your anecdotal experiences... sorry not sorry but that is just the way it is. Sure you have found the outliers, good for you. But I challenge you to find the data on women KILLING MEN for being rejected and then we can have an honest discussion.

@demifeministgal, so sexism is fine as long as you're the one doing it? Only killing people is bad, but manipulating them for personal gain is good? If you really wanted an honest discussion you'd admit that both women and men can be bad. You just want to draw the line where it benefits you.

@ldheinz "so sexism is fine as long as you're the one doing it" Nope. Cool strawman though. My point is that physical violence, including killing, is obviously worse than psychological manipulation. So much so, that we have laws against physical abuse and murder of various degrees, but not so much against emotional abuse. If you disagree, think if you would rather be manipulate or be killed.

@ldheinz, it's wrong for either one to be done, but you appear to think that sexism by women is fine, which is why it's not a straw man.

Thanks. found and blocked. I don't need bigoted rednecks in any part of my life. No matter how small. There's enough crap in the world today. Don't need more.

Maybe rejection is not that hard ??? Feelings of attraction are not the same as genuine offers of self......not everyone can possibly say yes to love when offered but what reasonable person expects a yes to every smile or flirt ?

mmkay but I am talking about men that cannot handle rejection atm... you can make a post about women if you'd rather talk about that

Typical reaction, why am I not surprised . . . .

@Archeus_Lore As was yours, if we are being honest. if you want to have discussions about men and their issues, why not bring them up on their own. Why ONLY bring them up when women are talking about womens issues?? Think about it to yourself... some introspection on your part is necessary here.

Because viewing something from one side only is narrow-minded . . . . and your response is in fact, a direct mirror image of the attitudes you are decrying. Think about that yourself.

@Archeus_Lore I have not claimed what about the women?! or women experience this too! when men post about issues they face (ie male infant circumcision). Nice try

Forget it, clearly, it went over your head.
