Using the word "some" doesn't mitigate the fact the it was only men you applied that to. Therein lies the blatant sexism. Either that or not a single female poster across 1000 odd posts, failed to research every single question they thought of prior to asking it.

I address that in this post: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=77208220&postcount=1040
Hard to see if that was sexist ? As it is out of context ? Plus disagree with u there thread has hardly been civil i was asked if i was taking the piss
Anyways i feel that this is getting bogged down in frankly petty squabbles no matter how you want to dress them up .

Zulu. I apologise without reservation if it appeared I was having a go at you personally. I can see how you would think that given I was responding to a question you asked.

Please accept my apologies and assurance that I was not attacking you personally in anyway, shape or form but was acting out of frustration.

I do wonder if some heterosexual middle class white men really think they're the biggest victims, or if they're just being provocative.

Maybe misogyny had come to be seen as normative, so that any challenges to it are seen as 'oppressing the poor men'

Feminism has even been blamed for unemployment in men as seen in this guardian article http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2...m-lack-of-jobs

Yep, because its feminists that closed down the factories and burst the construction bubble

I think most people love to feel victimised. I'm sure there have been interesting psychology papers written on it.

The same can equally be said of western middle class white women.

Maybe, but I never see anyone claiming white middle class heterosexual women have it the worst
