Recognizing Abusive Women

I just have a quick thing to say here, it probably won't be welcome but I'm prepared for that.

I joined MensRights because I believe in equal treatment for men (I was raised by a man), and I feel in many areas of life (especially child support and custody issues) men are treated with less than equal rights. I also have a son, and I want him to be treated well and to grow proud of his gender and not penalized for it.

At the same time, I'm a woman, and this reddit is becoming a lot less 'pro-men' and a lot more 'anti-women'. I like and value MensRights, but can we cool off on 'women ruined the world' and get more toward 'how can we get equal treatment for men'?

Some women suck, so do some men. It's not relevant.

edit: I realize it's presumptuous of me to come in as a non-included member of the group and start criticizing submissions, I don't mean to do that: I guess I'm just saying that not all women are like these examples, and it gives a pretty dirty picture that obscures the good things about the reddit.

This Mary Jo Fay does a wonderful job of revealing the other side of gender abuse:

Educating our communities and getting the media to recognize and talk about the fact that abuse does not just involve the typical male brute, but can also include the stealth, covert manipulations of the female of the species as well might just make the difference for so many who feel trapped in the nightmare.

Finally, helping men realize that they are not alone in their confusion, depression, and emotional roller coaster ride living or working with a narcissistic female, can allow the formation of new paths to healing. It may give them new knowledge upon which they can make conscious choices for change.

People are abusive. Not genders.
