This site proves it. Glancing over it you see how much mutual support women give each other on a regular basis. Men have no such thing. There are no men who encourage one another about their looks or stand up for men who were beat down. They don't allow emotional expressions from one another nor give each other support when they are emotionally or physically neglected or abused by a partner. Whereas I certainly support feminism wherein it endorses equality, sometimes I think they don't understand all the things they have that men don't have and never will have.
Many years back I had been "dating" (kind of) a woman who was pretty emotional. I was fine with emotional as I've always been particularly so myself. I spent about two hours listening to her cry and pour her heart out about the second or third time we spent time together. I didn't mind - I like feeling useful to someone even if it's just as a sounding board. What I did mind was crying myself about three weeks down the road and being met with the retort from her "stop crying and be a man!" I did - of course - stood up and walked away. Unfortunately I spent time with her later on and things never were very good between me and her. She didn't care for me much though I cared for her a great deal which is quite an unpleasant situation. I thought later what it might have been like if I had been so adamantly dismissive of her emotions when she was crying - had told her to "buck up and stop acting like a child" or something. Certainly I would not only have earned her ire but the ire of anyone who she decided to share that with. It was the first time in my young life that I was poignantly aware of the disparity of behavioral norms. I had always recognized it, but nobody had ever really pulled "be a man" on me. This may be because I avoided people who were likely to and I didn't really expect it from her.
Anyway, I'm just saying it must be nice. I was browsing some sets and there are so many picture sets where the other ladies compliment one another and I thought: "such a thing would never exist in male society from men to men" (barring gay society). It was just a weird moment a little while to realize how much mutual support women give one another. Felt like writing down a thought about it. I thought how nice it must be just to have people say nice things to you - I've never really heard much of anything but disparagement from men or women.
You'll never know what it's like to have to deal with the judicial system as a male rape victim, for example. I was raped and molested for well over a year as a child. There's no such thing as support for men in such situations. Men don't help you or back you, there aren't organizations that help or back you, there aren't quality lawyers that help or back you. As a man, you're expected to just be able to handle it on your own. I wasn't very good at handling it on my own. A seven time murderer who got punched in the face by a prison guard got 10 times the settlement I could get for over a year of child sexual abuse by a major religious organization. I had never been so jealous of women as when I tried to deal with the legal system over being a male rape victim. The kind of fury that would have been unleashed on the Assemblies of God if it had raped 24 pre-teen and teen girls rather than 24 pre-teen and teen boys is indescribable in the its bias.
Anyway, good luck to you ladies. There's a lot of men who have been pushed out of the world by the baby-boomers and their children. Thanks for making this lovely site because it is a ray of beauty in a dim world.
