- when a woman posts a question the answers are mainly caring, supportive, and offer certain suggestions?
- when a man posts the same issue he's a cad, louse or will rot in hell for even considering some of the same things that were suggested as viable for the woman.
I don't ask this particularly in response to my previous posting, as the answers so far are fairly across the board. I ask due to what I've observed as I've perused other topics on this board. Maybe I'm off-base, but it just seems to skew that way.

People feel sorry for women, no matter what they do. People hold men responsible for practically everything, even earthquakes.
Jeez. Be a man.

- Yep, JP, There's a skew alright, & I know why. See, ( being the biblical Jesus freak that I am, ) Biblicaly, Men are surly known as the stronger vessel, & should show this in everything that the Man does, when it's not in effect, then, the Natural tendicies slide to observations like the words - Cad, Louse, mouse, soft millie, Ect. Ect. - - - Now on the Other hand, if I may, Biblicaly, Wemon are Surly, Well known as for Being the weaker Vessel, so the Natural tendicies when hearing a Woman's Weaker Question\ Story is to slide in a responce that are - asuring, supportive, heartfelt sincerity, & apoligetic, with helpful tips at the end. So yea, there's a skew, Sometimes I wonder why God has it set up this way, Well, Such is Life . . .
- Biblicaly the scripture that Always helps me understand this is - Genesis - 3 : 16 . . .

Women are born, taught and raised to be supportive, vulnerable,caring, emotional. Men are raised not to cry, don't show emotions or else you're a wuss, be tough.
I can't say that I agree with it but that has been society. However, you see a change lately with just about every man on tv crying about something. It is no longer a weakness but rather a strength that he has the guts to cry when he has to.
I answer on here how I feel that day...sometimes with honest advice, sometimes with scathing sarcasm. Who would really put their trust in answers from a computer community when half of these people could be sitting in prison, the psycho ward, their mommy's basement?
I answered a question of "how much should I weigh" from a woman who said she was 5'6". Sarcastically, I said 240 lbs. She e-mails me whining that I am mean. How stupid was the question, and how dumb to not take a joke. This is all folly to kill time in the boredom of insomnia.

When a woman posts, there are many people caring and supportive, but when a man posts, he does not get the same kind of response because men get a lot of support from other men and women in real life. It is a man's world. They do not need more ego boost, support and suggestions on the net...It will be kind of a double dose of everything...hence, we try to give an antidote for all the attention you get in real life by dumping you in a corner and talking nasty.....REVENGE....lol...just kidding!
That is a good question by the way. I have tried to answer your question to the best of my ability..please do not think that I have ignored you because you are a man !!!

I don't know about anyone else on Y! Answers but I answer all people the same way; with total honesty. I don't treat anyone differently especially depending on gender. I would never treat a person like that. If a man had a question that a woman would answer, I'd give the same reply to the situation. I believe that if a man would put himself out here and ask a question that can save his relationship or marriage, he deserves the utmost respect.

I agree that many people are more supportive to their sex. However most of us, I would like to believe can see past sex and look at the issue to give appropriate advice. I am not sure what your questions are that have been posted, but sometimes the wording of the question can create bias. I am definitely less supportive of a guy's issue if it is filled with negativity, generalizations, or prejudices and vulgar language- likewise for women's questions. The way in which you present yourself says a lot about your character. Perhaps this may have something to do with it. Again, I can't say for sure not knowing about your prior questions- just speculating.

Of course there is bias, it happens daily. Men are less likely to answer a question regarding relationship whoes and when they do it is striaght off the cuff and not as emotional, women offer suggestions because of the past experiences they have encountered or experienced themselves. and because men are the ones we have had those experiences with, we are not as apt to give a crap if you hurt, because we feel men are the reason we hurt. You know everything is your fault.

I try to be fair with my answers. A man's question is just as important as a woman's.
Now if a guy posts something I find offensive - it is only natural that i will leave a "bad" comment.

You may be right with your observation but I like to think most people who take the time to answer don't consider gender when answering. I don't.
