What is going on in this category? Why are a lot of the women answering in this section so angry & mean, and attacking men with honest questions regarding women? I came to this section thinking I was going to learn something about myself, other women, or find interesting subjects to interact with, but I have to say that I am reasonably dissapointed, and very confused. Can you please explain to me, because I am new and not so sure, was this section generated for educational purposes, or mainly to focus on letting hurt, angry women get out their frustrations? Maybe someone could direct me in the direction of where the nice, truely helpful people are.
Update:Baba Yaga: You are one imparticular that I thought was very...."forceful" with your answers. You don't like disagreement nor do you allow others to have or express their own opinion. I see that your answer to my question begins honest enough, but the quickly turns into sarcasm and comes across in an attacking manner, as it does in many of your answers I have seen. Like you just have to get that jab in there and put someone down...you are the exact example of what I was pertaining to in my question, and I thank you for not making me a liar. So bitter....tsk tsk..

Yes, there are some bitter people here, but there are frustrations on both sides, not to worry.
It really depends on what time of day you hit this place. You do actually have to spend a bit of time here to realize who isn't bitter. Not all the ladies here are mean hags; there are some odd duck trolls that hang out here, so the regulars have to dish it out kind of thick. Sorry you got that impression.
There are some good discussions and answers here, but also some folks trying to bait anyone they take a fancy to baiting. Don't expect science-like rigour, the subject matter has a good dose of subjectivity.
I'm not against social science, just dodgy social science.
Jon: It's not really fair to compare it to Maths/science, the discussions there are pretty abstracted and culture doesn't enter into the equation (if you'll pardon the pun).
Just in case I, I'm not a feminist - I'm an anti-feminist and yes I'm a girl, may have been one of those who have been rude to you; I tried looking and your have hidden your questions and answers; no problem; I would like to sincerely apologize cause I know I have this habit of coming on like a bunch of raging bulls from time to time. Just hang around a bit more cause from time to time we are not that cold or cruel and have some informative questions and answers as well. Yet, we are all human subscribing to all sorts of human attributes including the less desirable ones.**We both know the honesty has nothing to do with misogyny and misogyny has nothing to do with honesty.
Hi meow
First, a quick 'guide' on feminist definitions:
troll: anyone who disagrees with their perspective
misogynist: any who disagrees with their perspective
If you hang around you will find a mixed group of folk including misogynists, misandrists, feminists and mens rights' advocates. All have their own points. But keep in mind, someon accused of misogyny isn't necessarily a misogynist if they are only questioning feminism.
Calling feminism up for it's hate is not the same as hating 'women'. There's a clear difference which oftentimes feminists won't recognise.
Sorry, this section is given over to too many ideologues; of both stripes.
I suggest you go over to the math and science section, if you really want to learn anything. Remember, this section is not even rigorous social science, whatever that is.
I'm not sure how you managed to get that impression. My impression is that the women here seem very logical and intelligent, not bitter at all.
Perhaps you just came across a few flukes. If you do encounter any bitterness in the women's responses here, it's likely not bitterness at men in general, but bitterness at the stubbornness and hatefulness of some of the men around here...it gets pretty old being insulted at every turn...
As the preceding answers indicate, this is a hateful forum. I visit it only when in a combative mood, usually at the urging of one of my contacts..
Btw, your first impressions were pretty accurate. Consider this The Feminista People's Republic of YA. The female kumrads here define "misogynists" as all men, particularly those who reject their hard left pontificating...
Now as you seem both bright and articulate, you would do well to avoid G&WS. I myself prefer to haunt Education and Arts & Humanities (along with their various sub-sections). Those are reasonably friendly, intelligent corners of YA. Give them a try. ---Carlos
Didn't you just recently ask a question about whether it was OK to wear your wife's underwear?
If you don't like the questions, ask one of your own that isn't about personalities.
Otherwise, you're just here to stir, really.
Cheers :-)
Because they're feminists. There's a reason why they are notorious for being bitter and angry women.
Those with serious questions have their questions answered seriously. If you were here for any length of time you'd realize who the real troublemakers are. Too bad you can't tell the difference between honesty and misogyny.
Stick around for awhile. This forum attracts trolls like roaches to a nutbar. You'll see.
