Many Men Are Aggressive, Domineering, Self-Centered, Egotistical, Sex Crazed, Neanderthals

But there has to be a space where decent men can reject misogyny, sexual objectification, and abuse without surrendering their manhood or becoming an overcompensating, obedient, fool

I used to get defensive and angry when women accused men of being incorrigible, abusive, angry, immature, or lazy.

But the statistics don’t lie. Too many men are all of those things.

Yes, there’s the occasional perfect man. And— with all due respect — if I had a penny for every woman who relentlessly bashes men while claiming they’ve miraculously found that one rare diamond in the rough, I’d be a billionaire.

Most men — if we’re honest with ourselves — are grotesquely imperfect. And some are violent sex offenders.

Yes. Men stare too long. Yes. Men lie through their teeth when it comes to sexual desires, fantasies, fetishes, and affairs.

Women do too.

Yes. Men tell awful, dirty jokes at work about women’s bodies and sexual attractiveness.

Women do too.

Yes. Men love to have fresh sex with many different partners and are willing to lie about it….with a straight face.
