Men are vile

Sickening to know that this actually happened.

Even worse, millions of women still facing discrimination in the 21st century, and there are men who think that it's ok to treat women like that.

I agree, some men are vile pigs. I've certainly had friends over the years who I would never want to see dating my sister. That being said, we are not all like that. A brilliant man once spoke of the day when we would all be judged by the content of our character; I hope we all live to see that day.

I'm certainly biased; I was raised by a single mother, and my best friend is a woman. Misogyny is wrong, but we all know it still exists. I just watched this movie for the first time tonight, and I was surprised to see how she was treated, and I feel for anyone who been in that situation.

Please don't judge us all by some of the jerks that are out there.

Best wishes,

Fitz

If you're going to use your subject line to judge all of us, then I think it's OK to say that "women are judgemental" (or perhaps in your case, just 'mental'... )

I'm gonna take this itty-bitty site by storm... I'm just gettin' warm.

What sort of a thread title is that?! You tar with a wide brush and no justification.

Women are vile too.

There is nothing more sick and vile than a group of sick feminists getting together in a closed room.

Feminism is Sick Misandrist hatred that is fostered by the ignorant masses.

Ooooooh we're just soooo vile. Gosh, something like this proves that all of us men are collectively guilty for everything bad that has ever happened to a woman. After all god made himself in mans image, so he's a man too.

The world's so hard for women. Thank god for cosmopolitan...

Women are vile too. We both are. Don't try to blame problems on men. If women worked together and didn't hate each other, the political system would be a more balanced place.

My point exactly.

As a woman, North Country did not make me hate men at all. Those men were pigs, sure. But I felt even more annoyed at the women's passivity and utter lack of solidarity, which rang true to me.

Plus, you could just as easily watch a film like Hard Candy or The Ladies' Club (about a group of man-hating vigilante bitches who go around castrating men) and reach the exact same simplistic three-word conclusion: "Women are vile".
