Thread to discuss the discrimination of women in the uk.

I’d like to point out some of the areas I find women to be discriminated against:

One area that particularly annoys me is the age old double standard in our culture that a woman is a slut for sleeping with men, yet a man is praised as a ‘stud’ for the same.

I think it stems from a culture that a man believes he can have sex without conscience- even when it is unprotected and leads to pregnancy just because he does not have to have the burden of carrying the baby himself. In my opinion, men need to step up to this responsibility as much as women because they are just as involved in the process and the law also has to account for this in ALL areas…

Problem with this country is with selfish, cowardly and arrogant men and the women who sleep with them who inevitably become saddled with a baby, become single mothers and are left to deal with all the responsibilities themselves.

I’d usually say that I think a child needs both male and female role models in ideal circumstances but judging by personal experience, I’d tend to say that some women and their children are just best on their own so it would seem hard for me to give an impartial opinion...

I think the trouble men have is to be constantly tarnished by a minority of cowardly men who refuse to accept their responsibilities, treat women badly and in doing so give all men a bad name. I constantly find myself annoyed that women like to generalise all men based on their own past experience with a few bad ones, but at the same time I understand why they may say that because I myself have been guilty of the same. It all just makes me more determined to prove that I would never be like that…

A quick final point I’d like to make is that I’ve never ever been physically attacked by a woman! but have got into numerous fights with idiots at school (all male) and just last week had my phone stolen and was beaten up by four guys! I’ve naturally come to despise all arrogant, cowardly, alpha male wanabes. Violent idiots like this- the same people that seem to get drunk and resort to mindless vandalism are a huge problem and are statistically, more commonly male.

It’d seem the majority of these offenders come from single parent families. They like to use this as an excuse but to me it means nothing. The buck has to stop somewhere and I believe we don’t have to pass the violence that was handed down to us onto the next generation- I believe we should learn from our mistakes.

Anyway, I think I am going off topic here so enough ranting, your opinions please…
