This is the first time I have ever posted on a message board but I felt I had to stand up for women. I normally enjoy Free Republic but I am getting disgusted at the woman-bashing on this site, especially by SamAdams76. A woman posted her honest account of how bad she was treated in her
two marriages and SamAdams posted a hostile reply. I have noticed that when a woman says something remotely negative about men SamAdams replies with a childish remark of "feminazi" or something equally ridiculous.

I am so disgusted with the "Men" on this topic. They think that Men are SO Innocent and kind and are never guilty in a divorce. Let me tell you something. There are some bad Women out there but there are also PLENTY of bad Men. When I was 15 years old my Mother, my Sister, and I lost everything we had because of a Man. I vowed then never to trust a Man or let one take advantage of me like my Mother had. I would NEVER get married. I think it is best to live with someone without marriage. There are too many risks for a woman. Most Men are out for number one and don't care about anyone else.

There, I have got it out of my system. Flame away, boys.

Well you misinterpreted my reply. When I said "I rest my case," I was referring to my earlier point that so many marriages make a mess out of people's lives. Especially men. When this woman (who I don't know from Adam) pointed out that her two ex's were washing dishes or on welfare, one of which is a Phd, it illustrated my earlier point perfectly. Obviously this woman had it tough too. But I speak for the men because I can relate to them better and they usually get the short end of the stick. I got horror stories that will make this woman's life look like a picnic. How about spending a weekend in jail and being labeled a wife-beater because you slammed a door in anger? This happened to a friend of mine not too long ago and that wasn't the worst of it. He hasn't seen his kids in months except by "supervised" visits monitored by social workers.

You are just upset because the men aren't just rolling over and taking it anymore.

Ya know, I'm a perfect candidate for hating men. My husband left me for his true love when my girls were 4, 7 and 8. I could wallow in self pity, as you seem to be doing, or I could make something of myself. Guess what? I wallowed for about 2 weeks, brushed myself off, checked into the university and enrolled in the engineering program. And you know what? I'm so glad my husband left me. It's really the best thing that could have happened. I have confidence, I'm not a 'mousy woman' talking about what a fabulous career my husband has to all my girl friends, and I like myself. I met a fabulous man, we've been together for 8 years, and he's been a better dad to my girls than their father. Now, My kids are grown, I'm a corporate exec, with an MBA and playing with the big boys and I'm doing a damn good job too. So, lose the attitude, it won't help you in the big picture. I'm not trying to rip on you, you need to realize women aren't dependant on men, they just make our lives nicer, sweeter, and just all around happier.

PS. my ex is on his fourth marriage.

if you think samadams76 is bad, you oughta read some of glockmeister40's posts. woman-bashing at it's finest !

these two ought to get together to form the he-man woman hater's club, as first seen on "the little rascals."
