[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Lots of women have sexist views of men [/b]and are either just as ignorant or just don't care.

It goes both ways. [/quote]

Like what? Is it degrading views?[/quote]

Men are pedophiles
Men are abusers
Men are dangerous
Men are creepy
Men are not as good as women at parenting
Men are idiots
Men should take care of women, keep women happy, protect them
Men shouldn't control but should be okay with being controlled
Men can't really be victims of rape or sexual assault or abuse
Men create their own problems, and should just deal with it. 
Men aren't really victims of domestic violence - they are stronger
Men who express emotion or experience anxiety and depression are weak or needy or not taking responsibility for themselves

etc....

This is an example of how patriarchy hurts everyone. Every single one  of those stereotypes comes from the urge to maintain patriarchal power structures with women in "lesser" stay-at-home roles and typecast as nurturers and weaker partners. If you want a truly equitable world, you have to dismantle patriarchy from both sides. [/quote]

I disagree. It isn't always about women being victims. Sometimes it really is an anti-male sentiment and ignorance about men as victims. [/quote]
