Are women becoming the new sexist pigs?

Becoming? Just try walking around with a little girl holding her hand

I've seen many articles like this, but few that actually give answers to what can be done about the situation. This is the social change that we cannot legislate against and as proven cannot argue with feminist about. Men need to take responsibility for this viewpoint in women and show that we are strong, capable and coherent and simply will not accept this behaviour.

However, I do believe part of the deeper problem here is the androphobic slant of early education. This is where we have allowed the raising of our young children to be a solely female occupied profession, so many women are putting their socio-political beliefs into young men and women's heads. The "Boys are Stupid... Throw Rocks at Them" t-shirt fiasco is a good example of this.

My real appreciation of the problem is that due to the changes wrought by feminism some women believe they are now entitled to feel good at all times and that their self esteem is of paramount importance in every situation. Thus they see no wrong in demeaning men in order to make themselves feel better. It is if men have become a doormat for this kind of bad female feeling en masse.

Wow, I hear that. I (girl) aim to treat every new person I meet with the exact same respect, and when I show men this respect level it is often perceived as being flirtatious, which isn't fair to either of us. Women go through a lot of shit for being women, but men go through a lot of shit too. Can we just recognize that? Also, I might add that a lot (not all) of media puts men down, showing them as fat stupid jerks that need a hot woman in their life (think sitcoms and family guy). It is certainly time to talk about ways to show men the respect they are not currently getting, to stop the gender wars, and continue to raise polite and confident young boys.

The switch from women being dominated to no longer being domestic has transcended from a fight for freedom to a fight for dominance.

I think this might be the best I've heard this expressed. For some time, this has been (in my mind) the most poignant critique of second and third wave feminism, providing evidence that the current movement is outdated.

Read the comments, this one especially amused me:

Sorry,but this post sounded like a bad joke.So men are the victims now? Really?? So how do you explain the increasing violence against women around the globe in the personification of prostitution and porno? The prostitution demand for women and children traffick?? The increasing numbers of pervs and pedophilies in the web? Of course we should think everything is sex! How about the so commom date-rapes? the less money we get for the same job done? the lack of good job opportunities? the feudalist conditions of women in many countries?

About God,has the author never read about the consequences for a culture where god is portraited as a male only? The high misogyny found in Islan and Christianism can be good exemples!

So men rape,traffick,beat,exploit... and in the end,they are the victims!!! Honestly,what this post discribes is nothing compared with the cruelty we woman have been suffering for ages as a class.

I donÂ´t belive such post was written by a woman,specially a woman"

Sorry don't know how to do that quote bar thingy that you guys do. However, I feel like this reader completely missed the point of the article, otherwise, very good article

I think that every woman needs to try this activity just once.

ThePigman · 2012-06-06T01:31:09+00:00

No, women are not becoming sexist pigs -- it's a fait accompli.

CharlieTango · 2012-06-05T15:51:23+00:00

In case the article isnt proof enough, look at srs or some of the people on 2x for a while

This is a result of misandry in the media. It makes women and men think this way through passive suggestion and repetition. But lets not get it twisted, both men and women are misandric towards men.

2012-06-05T12:33:30+00:00

Need more articles like this assuming it's legit.

Knight_of_Malta · 2012-06-05T16:50:34+00:00

Yup. It is really grating.

My mother raised me to know that all people are equal. It blows my mind as I explore more of the world around me, just how many other citizens were never taught this. Some were even taught silly things like "girls mature faster than boys" and "girls are smarter than boys", which is blatantly sexist conditioning for students/children, yet there is no outrage.

MRAToronto · 2012-06-05T15:38:01+00:00

Misandry runs rampant

FF15 · 2012-06-05T16:19:39+00:00

Guys, don't you think that this is a bit of an exaggeration? Boys are taught to be competitive and aggressive from an early age, and teaching them to be polite is seen by many as a hopeless endeavor. THIS is where the sexism truly is, not an everyday disrespect for men simply because they are men. Speaking from personal experience, women disrespect me or regard me with scorn just as little as men do. I'm shy and generally quiet, and throughout my life nobody has thought to make assumptions about me due to my gender. I believe what many dislike is not men, but the traditional masculinity that is imposed on them from an early age. Just as feminism encourages women to drop traditional femininity, the MRM should encourage men to drop traditional masculinity -- and does! But don't claim that this traditional masculinity is an inherent part of the male sex. It's not. Hate of traditional masculinity is not misandry, hate of traditional femininity is not misogyny. Neither misandry nor misogyny is as widespread in society as people might think. We must stop assigning harmful gender roles to children, not assume that they are inherent to the genders and that any dislike of masculinity constitutes dislike of men.

this will explain it better than i

There have always been sexist or misandric women. This is not something that just started or that is new to human kind. Different types of fear, hatred, contempt and/or bigotry for "groups" are riddled throughout human history. Women may have more tools, or protection, to act on their potential fears, hatred, contempt or bigotry towards men than ever before but those feelings have always been there. Women aren't just "starting to" become sexist pigs; nor is being a "sexist pig" something that should have ever been exclusively identified to men in the first place.

ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY. But only in North America though. I promise you this doesn't happen in Europe.

I live in Toronto, not one day goes by that I don't see some woman being angry and some guy just taking her shit.

Men are spoken down to, walked over, called idiots....

The worst part they all forgot to stand up for themselves. So I encourage you and everyone you know to remember we are all humans and we are all equals. And if anyone talks down to you, you talk down to them!

"Being the bigger man" is just another sexist standard that men are held up to. Treat others like they treat you. Being the 'bigger man' only makes you weak and encourages them. This is a very important lesson I've learned. It has been a very powerful coping mechanism for me too, being from Europe and living in a misandrist society, this makes it easier to adjust.

And one more thing, this is very important: NEVER GET DEFENSIVE. Defensive just means you are insecure and you are telling the other person (man or woman) that they are right and they hit you below the knees. The best way to think about it is this: If they say things to offend you, then they are an asshole, and why would you want to be nice and reasonable with an asshole?

So let's all stand up for ourselves, this is 2012, not reverse 1935.
