I think perspective has a lot to do with it.

Like, how many women who are passive aggressive manipulators really exist compared to how many women are portrayed in such a way in the media?

I don't think it's that many, really. But if you approach life with that mindset women will appear that way. The brain is a miraculous thing that can convince you of anything you want to believe.

Because you would never say anything others would think are stupid or shouldn't be said at all?

If that's the case keep shitting yourself and not saying anything.

The generalizations exist because there is some truth behind them. Pretending otherwise is silly.

I'm positive I've said nothing overtly sexist or radical throughout this thread. I am merely stating observable facts. The term "woman" exists as one of many social groups and carries with it the weight of societal pressure, just as the term "man" does.

I'm almost positive most everyone here has taken a sociology class before (since it's pretty much the easiest elective course ever and you lot seem like you're familiar with the confines of a community college.)

EDIT: wasn't talking to you there Fenris, made the post while you were moderaterizing.

Especially you.

tbh it doesn't matter who you're addressing it to, it's not necessary to say. Chill pill. Deep breath. Go get schwasted, I don't care. Just stop shittin' up my forums.

That's my view anyways since my wife made me run around to get some stupid burger from some stupid restaurant then only ate half of it before claiming to be full even though she was "dieing of hunger."

This is a completely flawed conclusion in. When women are pregnant they're feeding another human being in addition to themselves. Their hormones actually do increase quite significantly- how do you think pregnancy tests work? And hormones consequently affect their entire system, including hunger.

Um, mammals besides humans also eat a lot more when they're pregnant. I don't think they do it to manipulate their mates.

You gonna tell me how it's okay to act like all black people are gangsters and all gay people will take advantage of a straight man given the first opportunity? Those are generalizations I'd call complete bullshit on, but you're saying there must be some truth to them if they're there.

Irony.

This is the definition of it.

So you're saying it's a very useful skill to have.

Flawed conclusion or not, considering how often I've had to search over for different types of food, even ones she never really liked before makes me think that way. What the heck is the difference from a burger made at home, from one joint to another? Nothing to me, but to my wife she wanted me to get a specific burger that was like an hour out of the way! I spent 2 hours getting that damn burger then she had half of it! HALF OF IT! I hate that place to because the people there are fairly rude.

I'm not saying they wont want more food, but when she would beg and plead for a specific type of a specific type of food makes me wonder.

Huh, wasn't aware accusations of community college based education constituted an insult, guess the wording did sort of imply that though.

Anyways, my main point seems to have been muddled somewhere along the way and intermixed with others. I pretty much stated the quintessence of it in my previous post. Gender roles exist as a societal construct and carry with them certain social pressures which lead to common expressions in the personalities of individuals who meet the arbitrary criteria of those roles.

Hope that makes more sense or raises less ire than my previous assertions, and if not then I suppose we have irreconcilable differences of opinion.

@Krylo: Well thats gone farther to disprove anything I've said in this thread than any other counterargument. I never really thought about my statement from the perspective a hip young martial artists possessed of "The Glow."
