Reads like garden variety misogyny to me. These men don't want partners, they want objects, and they're upset that their partners demand to be treated like people.

There's a saying that goes:
The one common denominator for all of your failed relationships, is you.

These guys are telling an entire culture of women to change because they don't like how they've been treated in their failed relationships. It's more than a little pathetic.

...yeah. pathetic is the right word.

Apparently these losers had no idea where to look for quality women. Because seriously, I worked my way from a family who's father had to hunt to put meat on the table to having a master's degree in finance and a solid middle class income all in my 20's. Probably couldn't get the "quality white women" to give him a second look.

Also seems like a couple of these guys just want a female to submit and do what he says. Now I admit this is how I was raised to be as a female, but as an adult I realize a partnership is about peopleworking together to mitigate weaknesses in one another, thus creating two stronger people.

Disgusting really....but again, what do I really care what a few guys think.

I couldn't help but be reminded of the old Japanese movie Yojimbo, about a ronin who enters a village in which two factions are fighting. One faction is ostensibly run by a rich merchant but it is his wife who is the real leader. And this is a movie made in Japan by Japanese with a Japanese crew, though the movie was intended to mock American Western which were popular in that era.

At the risk of sounding ethnocentric, I could really care less what other countries think of women in my country. They hate us for a lot of things, mostly things that we do our own way as opposed to their way.

If they want to pick apart a culture and put its flaws under a microscope, they should start with their own.

There's a larger online population of men out there who will bash chicks on their blogs and do other equally immature things like spam their facebook pages with mean words. The problem is that women and men don't understand each other and in most cases never will. Men are impulsive and not governed by emotions like women are. Men are quicker to turn sadness to rage and then manifest that rage into rants over the internet. It's preferable to taking their fists to a girl but still not cool.

Not to say women aren't at fault either. I'm sure some of the men complaining about their X's online have very valid reasons to be upset, cheating is a major one, but I don't really agree with the outlet. Airing dirty laundry in public is pretty low.

This is generalization at its finest. I see tons of beautiful women in my wonderful beauteous land of Eastern North America. F*ck those generalizers.

Exactly.

From the descriptions in those posts I imagine those guys as the "country boys" from around here (Alabama). Low income. Blue collar. Mom ruled the house. Dad was a skinny laborer. Women around him same. Picked women up in bars. (Cause that's where classy women hang out ) never ventured outside his "area" and if he did the girls he met realized that he himself wasn't a catch and blew him off.

Foreign women, though...here's an american guy who will get me established/move me up a class/whatever. Treat him nice. Etc. Etc. Etc.


I can imagine this guy is actually surrounded by girls like this, but calling out a whole population based on what to me appears to be a low income trailer trash selection? F*ck that.

Wow. Those posts are ridiculous at best. The thing is, they know nothing but think they do. They think that just because one woman treated them that way that all women in NA are like that. Wrong. And what's this about a college degree not getting anyone anywhere? Really? Having a college degree is the best thing anyone can do in life. Sure, it may not seem like it now with our poor economy, but before our economy got screwed up, having a college education was the best way to ensure you had a life.

These people who are posting are mindless idiots who have nothing else better to do with their lives than to bash others. They really need to grow up.

you know what I like about these comments is that they sound just as fanitical, emotional and stupid as some of the arguments of radical feminists they disdain so much. I love the hypocracy of it all.

But to play devil's advocate a little, some of the comments may have a point about the B.S guys put up with from girls with the "princess" mentality. I don't know why but I always see the nicest most decent guys end up with the most spoiled loudest mouthed bitchs that treat them like crap. Then suddeny when they've had enough they hate all women. But then I see a similar trend with shy nice girls ending up with assholes...

If the quoted information is true, it may be more what the authors have experienced. Sometimes authors bias things that they see on TV, fanfiction, and/or movies and consider them to be true or base their information from their own experiences. Also, society as a whole love to generalize about people. I would not say that all North American women are absolutely evil. However, I am sure that some North American females are somewhat similar to what is mentioned in the quoted information. I do not think that it is right to bash and indicate that each North American woman is evil. Each male and female in North America as well each continent in this world are individuals...some are genuine while some are evil in terms of their behaviors.
