What's up with the women-hating?

With all the pedophiles mostly being men and the Epstein Files in the news, it's really weird to have this thread right now.

Ghislaine Maxwell isn't a man.

That women exist as a group in the abstract is largely mythological. We’re all dealing with individuals (male or female) at the end of the day. I think its safe to generalize about some tendencies that apply broadly, of course, but we are embodied people not dealing with abstracts and principles and must face the person in the flesh, mano a mano, as it were.

OP: If your mother AND your sisters are ALL a-holes, have you stopped to consider that you might be the a-hole? And maybe it’s not a women thing, it’s a you thing?

Don't bring men into this lady.

Signed, a man

No, I think people can be awful to each other. No distinction between genders. Some personalities are just in it for themselves and what they can get, that's all.

I don't understand the mindset that all women must support each other based on common gender. Most people are wonderful. Some people are not my cup of tea. Same as it ever was.

The lack of solidarity amongst white women has always baffled me. I read that most white women voted for Trump because they resent other white women who don't support traditional gender norms. Having a career or degree is offensive.

Given that white women are the largest voting bloc in America, we are all at the mercy of this crazy civil war.

I really don't think your thoughts warranted a thread, OP. It's not gender-related. Some people are just quick to find offense, or hold grudges, or generally see the world as a zero-sum game, where if someone else has more, they feel they have less.

Stay away from such people. My mother is like this. I've always kept her at arms' length all my adult life.

But none of this is new or noteworthy, honestly.

Men are awful to everyone.

I don't see it much in person, but online? Yeah they can be vicious

Women (and people) who are insecure can be awful to each other.

People who like themselves and are overall content with with their lives (however imperfect and flawed) learn to stay in their own lane.

I have to keep my older sister at arm's length, too. It sucks. But I'm tired of her projecting her anxiety, disappointment, insecurity, etc that she feels about herself and her own life, onto me. She's done it my entire life.

Emotionally and psychologically healthy people don't gossip. They don't criticize or judge others who aren't hurting them. They're just trying to look straight ahead.

What an odd thing to write.

I have never really found this to be true as an adult. There are lots of awful people, men and women. I keep away from them if I can.

I am only awful when they come for me. Outside of that, I ride or die for women! It’s all in your perception OP.

Women can also be nice to each other but the viciousness is always there and as a result you always have to be careful around women. I have a handful of women I can really trust at this point and I'm grateful for that but I've learned you have to be wary for a long time and some women you can never trust. My mom and sister, for instance, will do my dirty even now and that's how it's going to be for the rest of my life so I have to keep them at arms length.

Obviously the same is true for men, only some men are trustworthy and you really have to be careful. But I feel like people understand that intrinsically, that women have to be careful with men. There's a cultural narrative though that women are safe for each other and while that is definitely more true physically, it isn't true emotionally or psychologically at all and I actually think women are emotionally much more damaging to one another than men are to us. Men generally lack the emotional intelligence or will to twist the dagger.
