Why Do Women Hate Us??
NP - Burst - Vertigo
I've lived most of my life in the Middle East. I talk to people, stay up to date with blogs, etc. It seems to me that women hate men here.
Sure, in the UK, you get tons of feminists and that. You even get the wacko crazy militant feminazis we like to make fun of. You don't get them in Oman (although if this were a freer society I'm pretty sure you would), but it seems to me a lot of the women in Oman have a strong feminist streak, perhaps a bit stronger than common sense would dictate. I'm talking about situations where women make judgements about situations without knowing the full story, naturally assuming that its the man's fault, sometimes to the point of ridiculousness.
Whyyy the hate? Is it something we've done? Actually, it probably is. In my experience I've found out that what Newton said is true: every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The feminazi was probably raped by her father as a child. Similarly, the self-proclaimed feminist, whos proud of being overly feminist, was probably hurt in the past by an ex-boyfriend, or something similar, right?
So is this a Middle East trend, or a global trend? Thats what I'm trying to assess - are ME women MORE prone to excessive feminism than, say Western women? Opinions would be appreciated.

If we go by Newton's laws then its pretty obvious; women here would probably hate men slightly more because opression is still very much widespread as are other gender injustices. Though, I don't think we're that much different from western women really.
Come to think of it there's a certain GUY I'm pretty annoyed with at the mo'...
lol, if u ask me, they probably read a lot into men. specially omani men. after all women are women dude. You never know when the fuse will blow.:D
I've never understood women, and neither will you matey, so let's just give up.
We Arab women are oppressed !
I find myself being hard on them sometimes, though I dont really mean it. So no wonder if they started to hate me :S
SR: Yeah, you are right..the Newton's Law thing applies, but I suppose its not the only relationship (maybe the most direct one tho). The Islamic Communities in my city can be a little crazy as well for the record, which is why I tend to avoid them.
It also depends on your personality of course. I know people who's parents have had divorces: always traumatic. Some have gone into breakdown, some are stronger as a result.
@abs: yeah, will never understand 'em...half of me says I shouldnt bother trying, the other half says I have no choice!
I mean, men are meaaan!!!
You're not serious are you?! Women as a gender are generally not man-haters. I find it quite concerning that you equate feminism with man-hating. Perhaps you should delve more deeply into the meaning of feminism.
I for one am a self-proclaimed feminist, yet I embrace my man-brothers with an open heart and mind...
You're right Rhubarb, I should have made the distinction, clarified what I meant to say a little better! Feminism isn't the problem - feminism is a good movement and I'm all for it (not commercialized feminism which is basically sell your body, rebranded). I meant the particular girls who seem to hate men in general. Feminist wasn't the right word to use, but the problem is, in this situation, the lines are slightly blurred.
