[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is everyone so defensive? What is it about women who prefer male friends that gets your blood boiling? No, you can't spot us since you have a stereotype of the type of woman who can be friends with guys.

Haha the "sisterhood" really? Many women claim to be all about building women up yet often tear each other down. DCUM is a good example. [/quote]

Why would we not be defensive about one woman writing off ALL other women as being inferior to herself and men? Heaven forbid she actually have daughters one day with this kind of internalized misogyny. Which, by the way, is what we are calling out- bit again, if you’re not secure enough to accept criticism from women who want you to be a woman who does better, you’ll just distill it to us being haters and claim we arent building you up. Nope, I’m sure not building up a woman who believes all women are the problem in this world. We get enough sh*t from men. Don’t need it from this side too. [/quote]

The OP didn't directly say women are inferior nor did anyone else say inferior or critical. It's a preference for male friends but doesn't exclude woman as friends. Your description of female friendship is a bit warped. Friendship, whether male or female isn't based on "criticism". Support is maybe what you meant. I generally don't criticize any of my friends. Why would I? Most people just want to be heard and acknowledged. If they ask for advice, I choose the most sensitive way to offer.

Misogyny is one of those words that's so over stated on DCUM and in general. Personally, I don't hate women at all. As another poster said, I like diversity and that includes men, women, any ethnicity or identity that aligns in a mutual friendship. I'm lucky that I have great, lifelong, male friends and often, I have more fun when they're around. So it is my preference. Yes, I am married and have a family, nieces etc. Here's the kicker...my teen son has more friends that are girls. He has guy friends too, just less. It's his preference. [/quote]

What's misogynistic is OP stereotyping women as insufferable, needy with unrealistic expectations, not independent, unable to be alone. Women, like men, are individuals. If OP constantly attracting the same type of individual for female friendship, that says more about her than anyone else. [/quote]
