Somehow a article that says women are liars, manipulative, and stubborn is not one I want to read.

[Lachlann]

I smell sexism.

[Linus]

And a little bit of misogyny as well. What's the need to debase/demean a gender like that? It's simple. If you do not understand, ask but ask with respect.

And it's not true. I've grown up with some strong women role models in my family. What I learned was how to open my yap and ask.

[Calistine]

Well what they said is true for some women. But its not right to say every woman is like that. It's just like saying every man only wants to get in your pants and will sit around drinking beer and watching the game.

Wait...all men aren't like that?

[Calistine]

Hard to believe right?

[Vancha]

I thought that article was meant to be humorous and not taken seriously.  I'm sure the men who wrote it love their gfs/wives, and I'm sure women write very similar articles about men.  Believe me.   

[Lachlann]

It was written by a woman.

[Vancha]

Apparently I missed that.
I don't really think that changes things.  I think there is a lot of joking going on between the genders, and I don't necessarily think the author thinks all women are evil, conniving liars.  That would be a little ironic.

[Lachlann]

I don't think it changes things either, just pointing it out.

Of course there is a lot of joking that goes on between the genders, I've made them too, I just didn't really find it all that amusing. If her other articles are anything to go off of, she might be genuine but it doesn't matter. The real amusing part to all this is that I hear and see people actually believe these sort of things.

What troubles me is someone posts this and says that it's true.

[LordKAT]

What troubles me is someone posts this and says that it's true.

Ditto

[Vancha]

If it really is believed to be true, then that is definitely troubling.

[Nimetön]

From the biological male perspective, the article is fairly accurate, reflecting my experience with only mild exaggeration and over-generalization provided for humorous effect.  Of the men I know and have spoken with on the subject, I can think of only one (and he, unmarried and deeply idealistic) who would venture disagreement; the married men and women that I know, and the female engineers that I have studied with, could very well have written this article, judging by their expressed opinions.

As someone who attended an all woman's college and spent 4 years surrounded by hundreds of women, I have to say that while the wording of the article could have been nicer, most of the generalizations were fairly accurate for the majority of women.

[Ryan]

It worries me that the OP, as a transgendered person could be that close minded. Generalisation and stereotyping is all crap, and trans people should know that more than most.

So, on that note. All transmen are just confused and disturbed lesbians.
Oh, and as lesbians are women, we're all liars too!

[Devin87]

Generalisation and stereotyping is all crap

Actually, generalizations are very useful in psychology and learning how to best deal with different groups of people (because different groups DO need to be treated differently because they ARE different.  It doesn't help someone raised in Chinese culture to try to teach them math the same way you'd teach someone raised in American culture.  They learn differently).  They way we learned it in my multicultural education class, generalizations are based on fact and research and are good as long as it's recognized that every member of a group won't fall into the generalization.  It's stereotypes that are bad because they're not based on research and fact the way generalizations are.  For example, in this case it would be an unhelpful stereotype to say that all women are manipulative liars, but it would be a helpful generalization to say that women's brains and socialization lead them to be able to sway people and influence them appealing to their emotions more so than men.

[Ryan]

Well that shut me up
Yeah, you raised some great points there. My point shall still stand, just without the generalisation bit.

[Elijah3291]

I found it funny.. but then again.. I usually don't like women.. but that is probably just a deep rooted anger towards them.. because they are what am I trying so hard to NOT be, despite the fact that people continue to call me that.

[Nygeel]

Read one sentence, closed the window. No thx sexism.
