From a guy, why do so many women seem to hate men? I see so many posts on here and other places where women talk badly about men. I get some guys are bad but is it that common? I feel like me and almost all my guy friends are pretty good people

It becomes too frequent to the point where we just don’t like a lot of men half the time. Yeah good men are out there but with the amount of horrible and sexualized interactions, it gets tiresome dealing with guys sometimes yk? Like dealing with a girl that’ll constantly only wanna talk about sleeping with you. It gets repetitive and annoying and you feel like no matter what you do your efforts are looked past

It’s just too common of an occurrence to pass off as “some men”, unfortunately. I’m so fortunate all my guy friends are sweet, caring, and consider viewpoints other than their own. But they’re the exception, not the rule. I’ve met at least 100 other men who negate that entirely. It’s more about the general sentiment of not being able to go outside at night safely, needing self defense training and tools to do normal things, and so on. If it wasn’t a majority of men, it wouldn’t be necessary

I’ve had very bad experiences and really good ones. I don’t believe all men are bad.

Someone explained it really well another place, if you are in a friend group, one guy says something derogatory joke, some might laugh, some might be uncomfortable, but unless someone says something about it being wrong, you all uphold an environment that makes women feel unsafe. I don’t hate men, I just don’t feel safe around them unless i know them well!

The unfortunate reality is yes and no. Most men are not bad, but enough are that we have to be careful. Every woman I know has a story where a man was creeping on her, or harassing her. There’s also a lot of men who don’t harass but don’t stick up for women when their friends are being weird, like cat calling or name calling.

It’s because it’s such a widespread trend for men to be misogynistic and bigoted, not that they actually hate every man to ever exist. Most men don’t violently assault women, but for everyone who does there are more who support it, and even more who just ignore it

Because my entire family is full of perverted men- abusers, abuse enablers, drunkards, pedos,etc. and as I’ve grown up all I’ve seen is that there are way more men like that in the world than there are good ones.

Also, at least in my personal experience, the men who know they’re not in that group don’t really complain about it. I’ve even heard my own guy friends say “I hate men”. I get how it could get into your head though, if you don’t have women in your life reminding you that you’re not part of that nasty majority

It’s not common for men to stick up for women and keep other men in check when they make misogynistic jokes, mistreat women, etc

Best case, you hurt a stranger’s feelings. Worst case, you get murdered for letting your guard down.

I really doubt it’s the majority of men, but it’s definitely enough of a percentage that your feelings are still valid.

the vast majority of men are pretty normal humans. women just constantly get fed men doing evil things by their algorithms and the opposite happens with men. and if ur the chronically online type then u actually believe it

By majority, I mean a simple majority. So at least 51%. And unfortunately with that, those men are the loudest and the minority of men who are good and safe aren’t as loud about it. But it’s a double edged sword, because in my experience the men who are the loudest about being “good” end up being overtly performative to cover up for how misogynistic they actually are. The good men are quiet and silence doesn’t lead to representation
