Men Are Trained To Hate Women

You wouldn’t think of Cracked.com as a source for good social issues reporting, but they often do a heck of a better job than most news sites.  Add 5 Ways Modern Men Are Trained to Hate Women to the mix.

Obviously, it’s a little generalized, but I think this summary is well within the bell curve of an average man’s relationship to women:

So where you see a world in which males dominate the boards of the Fortune 500, and own Congress, and sit at the head of all but a handful of the world’s nations, men see themselves as utterly helpless. Because all of those powerful people only became powerful because they heard that women like power.

This is really the heart of it, right here. This is why no amount of male domination will ever be enough, why no level of control or privilege or female submission will ever satisfy us. We can put you under a burqa, we can force you out of the workplace — it won’t matter. You’re still all we think about, and that gives you power over us. And we resent you for it.
