You're female. Females have babies. People who get married generally have babies. Parents always bug their children to have babies once they get married. Maybe you should have discussed this with your fiance? Stupid Bitch.

The first thing I thought after reading the first few pages of that site was "oh my god, yes exactly." The second thing I thought was that someone on this forum would immediately mistake the meaning and intent of the site to be "man hating" instead of "jesus christ doesn't it suck" type commiseration, and the third thing I thought was is the shit I'm going to get for posting these thoughts really worth it? Expressing agreement with these experiences doesn't mean "I hate all men." Just that, "Been there, done that, burned the bra."

Yes and yes, but don't forget the pie, damn it. You're so lucky to have me; don't you forget it!

I read it as a site about letting off steam and venting. I encourage such things in the proper forum.

My impression is that it's a site dedicated to stories about how a person's sex plays into how other people treat them i.e. "my fault, I'm female." From what I've read it's 50% stories of actual sexist encounters and 50% man-bashing.
Man...I have a hard time believing that one. I've never known anyone to do anything like that in that situation.

I don't see it as 50% sexism 50% man bashing, it's more like 50% sexism (actually I haven't even seen that number yet) and 50% something bad happened therefore it must be sexism. And honestly, this person sounds like a douche anyways. See how I said person. I don't care that they are a woman. They are a genderless douche in my mind. The fact that they study philosophy doesn't help, although they aren't all douches, there is a good correlation there. Same with engineers and autism. Or chemists and murder.
Also, is this all written by the same person? Because here, on July 26th you have:
"I’m a philosophy major, who plans to go to grad school to eventually get my PhD"
and here, on July 23rd you have:
"I’m not smart enough to know my own mind. I guess all that PhD work addled my delicate female brain. "
Maybe these quotes are taken from experiences times a loooong time ago, but it seems like they are written in current context. To talk about PhD work when you aren't in a PhD program is SUPER DOUCHEY. Yet again though, that has nothing to do with being a female. Just being an idiot.

These are my contributions to the sexism ranting. I hope you enjoy them. I call it "My Fault I'm Male"
Some of these are undoubtedly misconstrued. Some of these are simply scorned people wanting to complain to the world. Some of these are genuine instances of sexism. But that's not to say that men aren't free to play too.
I just found this and it fits this thread, so I have to post it. Sorry to those who don't watch Futurama and won't get the reference
Sexism against males exists, but you're an absolute moron if you think it's equal with sexism against women.
And this isn't the same person, it's lots of people that send the stories in like the FML website. Did you completely ignore the locations/initials on each story?

Shes not discriminating. She also bashes robots.I just found this and it fits this thread, so I have to post it. Sorry to those who don't watch Futurama and won't get the reference
Probably, but I treat it the same way as the race issue, or even the sexuality issue. I am proud to be a heterosexual man who's ancestors almost entirely came from the British isles. I'm not saying that you can't be proud to be a woman, or a homosexual, or black, pink, green, or blue. But if you get to complain about sexism, or racism, or any other ism when it happens, than I sure as hell better be allowed to too.
Hence my "Some of these are undoubtedly misconstrued. Some of these are simply scorned people wanting to complain to the world. Some of these are genuine instances of sexism. But that's not to say that men aren't free to play too."

If you got sexism problems, I feel bad for you son.

And I agree. Some of these stories are absolutely cases of men treating women like they're subhuman.
The one where the guy did not speak English, who wanted the woman to whore herself out for 100 euro, and then grabbed he breasts... troubles me.
Because that guys actions likely worked for him before.

My guess is he's a pig in any culture and just uses that as an excuse.
Sometimes sexism is a guy assuming a girl doesn't know how to use a screwdriver.
Sometimes sexism is a guy assuming any girl that doesn't want to fuck him is a lesbian.
It takes a lot of forms! Also, I should have made clearer that I'm not going crazy and burning my bra over every single thing posted on there. There were more than a couple that left me kind of non-plussed.

But there were those who left you plussed, too. Right?
Is that even a word? Like gruntled. You can be DISgruntled, but doesn't that infer that at one point you were, in fact, gruntled?
I mostly see those as some schmuck gets invalidated by being turned down. Then lashes out in anger.

After reading more of these (and understanding that it's not all the same girl) I'm going to redact my previous statement. There is a lot of sexism in there. The sexism seems to come down to a couple of different major flavors:
1) Old people and "traditional values" aka the woman should be at home. Which is totally sexist, and might I add, stupid. My brother and I are both trying to find women that can support us. That way I can play more pokemon.
2) Sexual harrasment at the workplace. Totally unnacceptable. Pretty much every example of that I have read there would be a firable offense at my job.
3) Sexual assault. Wtf are guys thinking? I mean seriously, how the fuck do you go to sleep at night doing something like that?
There's other stuff in there as well, but that seems to be most of it. It's disturbing to see so many people still having attitudes like this, but I guess it takes a long time to erase that crap. Sexism has been a problem longer than pretty much anything else in the world, and is only really now getting fixed. Or on its way to being fixed.
PS. I know I used the word 'girls' in the beginnning to refer to women. Too bad. That's the word I use. The only other option is women, and that's way to formal. I don't like talking formally. If there is a less formal word for women that is the equivalent of 'guys' please let me know, and I will use it.

Girls isn't an offensive word at all just in text, there's no need to get really defensive!
