Kindly tell me where I ever said that only women were abused? I'll give you a hint -- NEVER.

FYI - I've gotten beaten up on this forum more than once for standing up to some of the men bashers around here..they are as equally offensive to me as the woman bashers.

Gabz - I was generalizing. I have endured/read enough men-bashing posts that I have, I confess, a mighty thin skin about the topic.

Men bashing is one of the most popular sports in pop culture today; FR is one of the few places where men can openly share their own ugly, (non-PC) experiences with bad women; when you ladies start piping up here in their defense, (not seeing this type of thread for what it is - "equal time" as Rush likes to say, as well as a chance for us to blow off some steam), you are unknowingly taking a base ball bat to a Hornet's nest....

Galveston Grl - why don't you get married and stay married for 12 years to a man who regularly beats you, destroys your nerves and self-respect through non-stop criticism, encourages you to kill yourself as a way of solving 'his problem', tries to kill you himself - and then come here and start reading men posting about women like yourself as being 'wounded puppies', and 'infiltrating the conservative movement' (whatever that it). Now do you 'GET' why your posts were read as being condescending, unnecessarily gratuitous and abusive of men?
