Men are more forthright when women say disparaging things about men in general. When women say all men are pigs, men are more likely to respond with something like: 'Yea, I'm kind of a pig' or 'Yea, I sure know a lot of pigs out there'. Most women nag their men more than is fair and/or effective, but my pointing this tendency out is sure to make some eyes bug out. What do I mean by "nag"? Well, the man and the woman are cruising along, and everything seems fine, she's with a better than average man,.....and she says: "You know, you haven't _________ (done/fixed/showed concern for) lately." Now, let's turn the tables. Let's say a woman in my position asked a question in a men's studies section like: "Why do men never clean towels, bedsheets or showers, do they think they clean themselves?" She would likely be greeted with answers like, "Yea, we don't get it. Truth is, we don't care about those things being clean" rather than "Not all men..., blah, blah,...you've got problems babe...
