Honey, any man that demeans a woman and does not show them respect is no man. To excuse their behavior by saying they don’t realize it and it is because they are guys perpetuates the problems. FYI, I do understand real men, I was raised by one. Have a great say honey.
In a situation where the rest of the guys have decided that your low performance puts them at physical risk, you WILL get a "blanket party" to convince you to improve to their standards, or get out.
Nowhere in my post did I say that men "dont realize it" when they demean women. I said that real women know the ways they affect men in ways that men don't even recognize half the time. Your good Pop failed you in that respect, apparently. Here's the deal: women, once they reach puberty, affect men profoundly and a lot of the times, men aren't fully aware of how they're affected, but a real woman is and she respects that "power," if you want to call it that, that she has over him and doesn't takes advantage of it unless she has to (!); men are in their way uniquely and extremely vulnerable when it comes to females.
A girl, a silly female, an idiot woman, 1) fails to understand the hold she has over men by virtue of being female and 2) expects to be treated as their equal. She expects to be respected by men when she herself treats them with disrespect.
I'm not going to insult your dad, the real man who raised you. I insult YOU and say that your understanding of "real men" is piss-poor BECAUSE obviously you think you're being "demeaned" by men when you're not. Now me, I'm demeaning you because you're insulting a WHOLE lotta Real Men FReepers by accusing them of demeaning and insulting women, when all my years here, I have RARELY seen that happen. You need to get your head screwed on right, start tuning in more closely to the real man who raised you, and start tuning out American pop culture that has you thinking men and women are equal. They never have been and never will be, THANK GOD.
