MANY of the men that I have encountered have *sshole written on their forhead.
A LOT of the men that I have encountered were *ssholes to me but not to other "pretty" "skinny" or "dumb as a rock" women who looked their way.
SOME of the men that I have encountered were *ssholes underneath and brought out their *ssholeness at opportune times.
THE REST of the men that I have encountered, are not *ssholes, and deal with people on a HUMAN level, like you for instance.
Having said that,
MOST of the women that I have encountered can and have been a b*tch in some regard or another.
MANY of the women that I have encountered were this way "IN MY OPINION" because they had at some point in time been mistreated by another person. SOME of those persons were men.
SOME women, SOME STRONG women do not feel the need to be treated as sex objects, money providers, open heart wounded individuals who have no voice, no opinion, and certainly no choice.
In my opinion,
A FEW women appreciate men and women alike.
A FEW men appreciate women and men alike.
Stereotypical phrases do hurt and I do appoligize if mine hurt you.
However, I've had a rough go of it with men and all exceptions present and accounted for, I feel as if many many many many many men could use a little more sensitivity and grace when dealing with women, including me.
