I would have no problem doing women things if I had a woman to do them with. I was just commenting on the disrespectful attitude I see many women exhibiting toward men. He can only do the guy things if and when she approves.
Did you ever think maybe many men (still) act that way toward women?
Your kind of statements are typically, the only thing I ever hear. Men complaining and whining about how bad their women treat them. Or how bad women are period. Or how inferior women are.
As someone mentioned I think already, we do see that trend on FR, everytime anything remotely relating to women comes up. Not that it's all FR; it's just a microcosm of men at large to me, and disturbing and irritating.
There is a whole industry (books, magazines, tv, radio, etc) and peer support network among women that constantly reinforces the concept that women's needs and wants are to be honored and indulged, but men's needs and wants are to be derided and dismissed.
It's incumbent on men - on a micro, not macro level - to firmly combat that mindset. Most appear not to. A shame. Sucks to be them.
