Man bashing on MFP

I'm fairly new to the site and love it however during this very short time I am seeing a bunch of threads where it seems to be a norm to pretty much bash men. Are most of the men on this site bad folks? I have seen more than a few posts where men have been nothing but helpful. Am I missing something? Do they say mean things via emails to you?

Nothing but
for that one ^^
But seriously, these forums bash everyone. Sometimes males, sometimes females, sometimes overweight people, sometimes "skinny" people. I don't know if you know it, but there can only be 5 happy people in the forums, so I have to make a bunch of people feel crappy if I want a happy spot.0 -
It's just a reflection of society. It's fashionable to bash men. It's sexist to bash women. Women have gained a lot of well deserved ground in the last few decades, but they have proven to be less than perfect with their new found power. Ironically, abuse of power was always their complaint about men. Women say some pretty horrible things and laugh about it; things that would get a man in a ton of trouble. I'm hoping to someday see the pendulum settle in the middle. I don't think women would much like a world without us, even though it sounds that way sometimes. We (men) wouldn't want a world without them either.0

The guys on my FL are total rock stars. However, the only 'man bashing' I have seen relates to peoples comments about men in general and not specific to ones on this site.0

I for one think the chit-chat sub forum is too kind.0

Please do not generalize about women, It's as bad as women generalizing about men.0 -
I think men and women are equally challenged by social pressures, just in different ways. So I don't think there's much to bash. It is what it is.0

I'm fairly loathsome; I welcome that bashing which I've earned.0

they deserve to be bashed. these men not only eat babies, but they inaccurately input the nutritional info in the MFP database.0

*bashes* :P0 -
I just posted this is another bashing thread and I'll post it here:
I really dislike "generalizations." How can you say more women do this or more men do that, or why do all women say these things, or all men do these types of things. It's ridiculous! Men and women are people. Period.
They are individuals that like what they like, act how they act, and should not be blamed because one or two others of the same gender, height, weight, heritage, or hobbies decided to say or do something that wasn't nice or what you thought was "right".
People bash on each other for various reasons and that's that. No one gender, race, etc is more to blame than another...is more right than another...is nice, meaner, etc than another.
You'd think we'd learn this by now..lol.0 -

Appalling! If you aren't going to log accurately, don't log at all!0 -

Fair enough. I have an opinion about what that says about you....but you will not care so it's all good.0 -

Haha, this must be Bill Hader pretending to be Keith Morrison from Dateline. Great Gif!0 -
My MFP male friends are nicer then my male friends in real life.
And hotter.
True story.
If only the guys I know IRL were half as hot. I think it might be a southern boy thing, seriously I love Boston but Southern men just have something they don't0 -

mmhmmmmm...I like how you think.0 -
I think it seems this way. Yes, I agree there is a lot of accepted man hating on MFP and in society in general too but I think it is only a small percentage of females who REALLY feel that way. It is a bit alarming how that small percentage is influencing the bigger population since I personally see it more and more in the name of feminism (both outside and on MFP). You also have to realize that on MFP, women outnumber men by a large margin so there aren't many arguments made against such man bashing either.
In general, this is a good website and the quality, fun, supportive and educated men and women are plenty on this site. Pretty much every female on my Friends list is awesome and (I hope) doesn't think of men as an enemy.0 -

My friend is from Texas (he's married) but I always call him when I can sleep and just have him read a book or something because his accent makes me feel calmer haha I love the way they talk their accents are really nice and it makes them sound more gentle and they as a whole tend to be more chivalrous
And seriously man in those cowboy style jeans? NOT A BAD SITE. Pretty sexy actually Just sayin
Also I love how this is turning into a Love for Southern Men Thread haha now the boys from my are are gonna get upset haha0 -

Girll! ohh trust me! i've seen a cowboy in cowboy jeans! :smooched: especially if they already have a nice *kitten* going on! that sight is just KILLER!
the boys can hush and try and follow example!0 -
Like most negative things, a few creepers and idiot's have ruined it for the rest of us. That's generally how things work, most of us try and be nice and do the right thing, but u hrt a few jerks and we are all pigs. But it works both ways, and I believe its. The vocal minority of woman that also make it seem even worse. I enjoy the comments from all the woman on my friends list.0

Hey now, us Northern boys aren't all that bad either
