5 Ways Modern Men Are Trained to Hate Women

(lol i found this picture hilarious for some reason....)
http://www.cracked.com/article_19785_5-ways-modern-men-are-trained-to-hate-women.html

This is a bit of a long article but it is worth reading! this article is about how men were raised from the very beginning to hate woman. first they talked about how they were taught that society owed them a hot girl.his example being that in all the comic book and movies, the hero gets the girl in the end ALWAYS. which reminded me of that dreamworlds doc we watched in class. another reason was that woman were always posted up on magizines and other "products" such as the corn ad above) and were always portrayed as decorations. this also reminds me of dreamworlds.i don't even want to comment on the third reason in this article so make whatever you want out of that. and the second reason remind me of that doc we watched on masculinity. they seem to think that they have to be masculine to be considered a man. they learn these things from watching movies such as 300 or sparta and see how men ""used" to act and feel as if thats how they should act, where their crazy "boys will be boys" behavior is celebrated rather than contained.the last reaosn started is that men feel poweless to thier sexual drive. i find this to be possible but why should this mean that women are to blame? this whole article portrayed woman as an evil thing going as far back s the bible using eve as an example of our wickedness. if men are supposed to be the "superior race" then how come they feel so "powerless" towards our sexuality??

  1. Interesting. And I'm personally a comic book nerd. The super hero always gets the girl and the female super hero is always the wayward sidekick.
