We wouldn't hear the end of it. It really is annoying how different things are for women and women of color

best proof - yesterday's Hearing in the American ... eh ... Senate? congress? (I am not sure) where the Senator who is black&woman was told to be nice the People she questioned and nobody said that to the male Senators who were just as driven to get answers as Sen. Harris

Yeah they treat women really unfairly especially in those higher up positions.

Heck even in a low position, they treat them horribly. It is really sad and pathetic.

Trust me, out here it seems it's getting worse in terms of men disrespecting women, maybe not at the workplace but certainly at home.

So many more cases of physical abuse or worse. Especially if the female is leaving them.

Exactly, when you listen to their logics about things I just don't get it. Like they will cheat on their spouse but if their spouse ever does it they will leave them right away etc.

Yeah and they won't change. It is hard to find decent ones nowadays.

people with privilege never want to give it up, unless they are forced to, so until men actually need to be more than medicore every now and then, that is not gonna change

That is true. We need to not accept them being mediocre, but again, because so many are, it is hard for women not to. It's like leaving one mediocre for another.

Of course not, they don't need to change, because they still get girls. They don't want to change.

They don't want the women to leave them either.

Yeah because they can't let their "friends" etc have the better boyfriend, so they have to show off theirs as well, even if they have to lie.

We tend to hide our men's bad side sometimes. For example, sometimes a guy hits his girl and she tells people she fell or something.
