I thought sexism was dead - so why do you think you can get away with it ? Read some of the answers (e.g. the one on Page 3 girls) - so many women saying 'that's what men are like'. If that's your experience it says as much about you as the men you're basing your observations on !

My remark is not a generalisation - please look at many of the answers to many of the questions onhere and see for yourself that it is true.

Assuming you can read - I have NOT said all women, although I accept my question would have been better phrased as ''why do many women..........''

Its sad but true, I'll admit to it. Alot of women are harsh. Do you read some of the answers they give to other females! Those don't get much better either. Some just like to be rude, some like to be harsh and some can be very thoughtful. Just the way it goes.

First of all, not all women make crass generalizations about men.
Secondly, women are constantly subjected to the same thing (does the stereotype of the nagging wife sound familiar? the ball and chain? the menstrual monster?). Many a stereotype against women lives and thrives to this day. You might try to say that some of them are right (at least in some cases), but if that is so, then the same can be said of men (at least in some cases).
Thirdly, men generate sexism in the same way that women do- there are some men out there that typify negative stereotypes, and they give the rest of the men a bad name. Women have to deal with the same issue.

well said. it is a good point you make. a lot of women on here seem to have had a bad experiance and say men when they mean why did this man do this. what ever this is.
all of us men and women are different you can not generalize. it is crazy to the point of stupid to generalise.
why do we tolerate it?
there are a few of us good guys out there. we are admitedly hard to find but we do exist.
the problem is the good guys are those with average and below looks.
good looking guys in general though admitedly not all of them treat women as sex objects and all they want is to get as many women to sleep with them as they can. It is not right but a lot of women fall for the good looking guys and as soon as the guys have got in their panties the women are dumped shortly after so the guys move on to the new target.
this results in the women who make the generalised comments ask the questiions on here. like why do men do this.
and ask does he love me etc etc.
again i'm making general comments on those women asking the questiions, that makes me as bad as the women for generalising.
but sadly in some situations generalising is or at least can be accurate.
don't get me wrong all straight guys love to see naked or semi naked pretty women. some of the models though are just too painfully thin in my opinion. real women have real curves in all the right places. though i draw the line at clinically obese as that too is just not attractive.
just my opinions based on months of reading general comments and questions on here as well as 33yrs (my life span so far) of life and my experiances.

Some of them need to vent about bad relationships. Men do it about women, too.
After all, dude, you are making a generalization by saying "women on here" instead of "some women on here." My wife is on Yahoo Answers and she doesn't make posts like that.
EDIT: Sorry, but "Why do women on here make so many critical and crass generalisations about men" (your original post title) is a generalization.

A lot of relationships don't work out and end badly. People are not always on their best behavior or have bad experiences. Saying all men are bad is inaccurate though and people should be looked at as individuals. Not all men are bad.

Let us respect everyones views. Most of these women have experienced the worst in men and this is a platform for them to highlight their views on men.
I will go along reading them and counselling them and advise them, if we can than shutting them up.
After all men are no angels either.

Well, alot of times women compare "exs" to their current man. I know it's not fair for men,but try not to do or say things that a woman doesn't want heard. Especially don't say that you're not like an "ex" over and over again!!!!! Just be yourself!!!

It is my experience that a lot of women are just plain nasty and vindictive. Take a look at most of the answers you have here and they are nearly all ugly. That is the nature of a lot of women, sorry to say. Institutionalised Misandrism.

you have just said ALL women so you are as guilty as those women
you are generalising women for them generalising men that sounds very hyprocritical to me.

Behind every crass remark, there's a hint of truth. Sorry. And it works both ways: you don't think men generalize about women? Ha!
