I Am Fascinated By Human Behavior

Why do you think men hated women for thousands of yrs. (and still do in a lot of countries? I think the reason is very simple. They've hated us because we're different than them. There's something nasty in human nature that hates anything different than us. And men got away with all their meanness by simple brute strength. I honestly don't think women would've put up with all the abuse in the past if there wasn't such a size difference.

I think it comes from ancient men needing to prove their dominance. Back in the old times it was a very valuable trait to be dominant and aggressive, it would show your fellow men that you would be capable in providing for your tribe/city/country in terms of armed defense or manual labor. In short it proved your worthiness as a human, we all seek validation, that was their way of doing it.

This however caused a disconnect between the sexes since women were not typically on the battle field, hunting, or doing anything physically taxing, and in terms of muscle women are indeed the weaker sex. So male dominance would most likely bleed over into relationships, marriages, and sadly religion.

That set of behaviors is just an artifact from former humans, that is obsolete and ignorant.

Yeah, but sometimes it seems they have all the advantages too. Oh, I'm not saying there isn't the glass ceiling, bias against women, etc. But, it's not all downside especially when it seems all the attention is on making up for lost time. To be honest, a part of me feels like that's not fair either... I didn't cause this injustice. And, I want promotions, raises, etc. too.

Not for much longer hopefully, I feel like humanity is on the verge of another renaissance, evolutionary foothold, or something along those lines.

Many countries are having equality movements currently, so that makes me optimistic.

It's you and me piano... You can count on me, man.

NearMiss... you make it sound like we are compelled by nature to pick on someone so it might as well be women until someone better comes along...

I never said women don't have human nature. We certainly do. If women had had the brute strength it's possible we might've mistreated men.

Newsflash... Women have human nature too. And, women are not as innocent and open-hearted as you may want to convince the audience.

Yeah, but how long are we going to carry the burden of those artifacts?

Not so much in America. In the Mid East women can be shot just for being women.

Only one person acknowledged my reasoning behind everything T_T thanks MarkPaul

I don't think these are universal truths...

Do men hate women though?
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
Yeah... I guess you are right.
