It may seem a bit on the bitter side, but I think unfortunately much of it rings true. When I see criticism focused on gender, what I usually try to do is juxtapose and see what it looks like. See if it all fits?
A few days ago lockergnome posted a story that seemed to be written almost as a humor piece. (what it was doing in tech news, I'll never know) A woman sat on her ex boyfriend's chest and killed him by beating him with her high heeled shoe. She was charged with manslaughter.
ok... switch genders.
See what I mean?
I think it's important to point out that there is emphasis on the word SOME. This is why some of you guys are having a hard time meeting women. But this is where we differ.
These guys ARE meeting women. I think part of the responsibility for perpetuating this nonsense in men lies with women who put up with it, and dare I say.. occasionaly... find themselves drawn to this type of behaviour/personality type.
Some would argue this could double as a "guide to getting laid".
Even more important, to me, is making sure that even though I believe this is somewhat accurate, I do not fit those stereotypes. Thank gahd.
