Why won't most women admit to their gender's bad behavior?

Question

Men are much more up front about their own, their friends, and their whole gender's bad behavior than women are. Ladies, you can prove it by your responses.

The first 2 answers indicate a lot, eh.

Answer 1

Men, in general, tend to admit to poor behavior in a joking sort of way. Men, in general, do not tend to internalize their own admissions. I don't think it is fair to take half of the population and say they do this and the other half does that (outside of physiological obvious). Plus, how often have you sat in with a group of women? I tend to think, if we are speaking in general, women, as a group tear each other and themselves a part to a much greater degree than men. I was raised with boys, I know what they say. Women are much harder on themselves as a rule. So, what bad behavior do you want women to admit to?

Answer 2

I feel sorry for you. Obviously the women in your life are a disgrace to all womanhood. My boyfriend comes home from work every day or every other day with stories about how his coworkers are always having to deal with arguments and head games in their relationships because of the girlfriends or wives. He always tells me how much he loves me for not being that way. We've been together for almost three years now and haven't had a single fight. We might get pissy at each other from time to time, but when that happens usually after about fifteen to twenty minutes later, we sit down and talk about it. It's not for lack of a stress free environment either. I have four boys ages 16, 13, 11, and 5 years old. He has a boy age 7 years old. There's all sorts of stress, with children, custody orders, sports, exes, etc... I go through life with the philosophies of "Everything I do in life has an affect on everyone else" "I'm responsible for my own attitudes and actions" i.e. If I'm sick with a cold, I'm not going to make everyone else in the house suffer because I'm suffering. It's not fair to them, what did they do to deserve that? I believe in positive reinforcement and a positive living environment. I'm not a meek person or a person who everybody walks all over either. I have boys and when they need punished they do exercises, Mainly the chair of air or known as wall sits. I have known a lot of women who have bad behaviors, but there again each and every person is responsible for his or her own actions. They can't blame everything on men. Even if the man is abusive you have the power to make a change and leave. This I know because I did leave my ex for such a reason. There's another philosophy " Nobody can walk all over you without you're permission". So see, not all of us have bad attitudes.

Answer 3

It can sometimes seem this way. After all, how common is it to see a male comedian go up on stage and tell joke after joke about men? Then, how common is it for female comedians to do the same to women? Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems that men will more freely bash themselves--or sacrifice themselves on the altars of dignity--than women will bash themselves.

Then again, I think the woman who said that women are harder on each other do have a point. I can't tell you how often I have listened in on women's conversations (be it intentional or unintentional) and heard them practically destroy their female acquaintances with their words. And on top of that, when they are face to face with those acquaintances, they will be nice to them.

But...we should take notice that there are a lot of exceptions to this. And everyone deserves to be evaluated as an individual, and not subjected to generalizations based on stereotypes pinned on their group.

Answer 4

I'm not sure what you mean by "bad behavior." I freely admit my mistakes, I always look at my part in a problem/disagreement that I have with my husband, and I admit that I always have a part in those things. If I drink too much at a party I admit that. That's the most honest answer I can give you, but again, I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for.

Answer 5

I can admit the bad behavior of the female gender, I grew up with 3 brothers and no sisters, so its easy for me to look at things in a clear and honest way.

Answer 6

Because women like that are disgusting and think they can do no wrong while at the same time expect everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Avoid the obvious ones at all costs. They deserve no reparations for their heinous and abominable actions. Their one sided thinking and biased ideology are simply reprehenisble and should not be paid any real notice and should they adversely affect society, they should be brought down in one way or another. Let the real women and men make a mockery out of them.

Answer 7

I think you should focus more on how a woman's personality and behaviours enhance a man's. Your question focuses so much on pitting one side against the other, so why don't you accept that one side cannot possibly exist without the other and look at the world that way? You're obviously young, so something you should think about is figuring out what the right questions are to ask and stop bothering yourself with crap like this.

Answer 8

I'm not sure what "bad behaviour" you are talking about, because there is so much of it, from little stuff like nagging guys to breaking point, to the real big nasty stuff, like making your ex-husband pay for a child that's actually his best friend's ...

Obviously women behave badly - they lie, cheat, steal, murder, mutilate, b*tch, nag, drink, take illegal drugs, neglect and abuse children, perform sex crimes, be cruel, violent and a whole host of other things.

In other words, they are human.

Answer 9

Hah, what do you want to prove? That women and men are different??? Man, it's worldwide true, you know?
If only women will behave like men, you'll be the first one who die from boredom.
"Think what you're asking for because you are going to get one."

Answer 10

I think in general men are more of a logical thinker and women are more emotional thinkers. In my case, my husband could care less if he offends someone, he says the truth is the truth. Where as I don't want to hurt someone elses feelings.
