Crosspost "Men respect women more than women respect men" from /r/unpopularopinion:

I know this sounds contrary to everything you've heard, but hear me out. From guys, I hear plenty of stupid comments. "Women are crazy" "Women are too emotional" "Women overreact to everything". It's either making dumb jokes from their buddies or wondering why their girlfriend/wife is angry with them.

But I've only heard genuine loathing from women. "Men are all the same" "Men are trash" They're monsters, creeps, and on and on. And it isn't just certain men. I've heard multiple women say that all men are like that, not just certain individuals. I've never heard any man say they hate all women, but I've heard women say they hate all men.

Lesser examples include the results from unhappy breakups. When men rant, it's about someone specific: ex-girlfriend or wife. If a woman's angry, it's a rant about the entire male gender. This is a generality of course and I can only speak from my own experience.

Then there's the constant messages to men about how to treat women. Teach your son to respect women, teach men to respect women; treat your girlfriend like a princess, etc. Constant posts about how men don't have empathy for women. But very rarely have I seen it in reverse. I've encountered it maybe twice in my life. Many messages talking about how we need to respect women; very little about respecting men.

I could go on and on.
