I would say that it's more acceptable to badmouth men in western society. Oprah, self-help books, late night talk shows; they all seem to casually make negative blanket statements about men that wouldn't be acceptable if the counterpart was said about women. Whenever I've read a self-help book, the example difficult person is a male, more than 1/2 the time. The shows that do badmouth women are much more obvious and extreme, like Tom Leykis or The Man Show. Even Loveline, where women are badmouthed by both Adam and Dr. Drew, men are badmouthed at least as often. Neither sex is more than a slight bit better or worse than the other, all things considered, right?
