Another poster said:
"Men hold doors open for women. Women don't hold doors open for men.
Men always are nice and strike up conversation with women. Women never initiate conversation with men, act stuck up, and act aloof and unconcerned.
Men say women are beautiful. Women say/pretend the male figure is ugly and not to be appreciated.
Men's moods are relatively steady. Women have PMS and various mood swings and emotionally-distraught outbursts.
Men accept responsibility for their actions, and "toughen up" when times get hard. Women blame all of their problems on men.
Women in the workplace tend to be catty, emotional, jealous, and bring their personal lives in to the situation, and female bosses tend to be catty. Men set their personal lives and emotions aside to get the job done. Studies show both men and women prefer male bosses."
What do you think? I think there is a lot of truth to this.

Delicious is an admirable woman. She's nothing like the misandrists that post here.

Men don't care when another guy has the same outfit on, and would just laugh about it. Women get angry and jealous when another woman is wearing the same outfit as her at a social event.
Women in the workplace tend to be catty, emotional, jealous, and bring their personal lives in to the situation, and female bosses tend to be b*tchy. Men set their personal lives and emotions aside to get the job done, don't get catty and jealous towards other men, and surveys show that male bosses are preferred by most men and women.
Men are expected to always spend his hard-earned money on a woman at dinner. Women generally never compromise and offer to pay for the date.
After a fight with his girlfriend, men try to reconcile the differences with sincere apologies and roses. After a fight with her boyfriend, women slash his tires and throw a brick through his windshield.
Women are by far more mean, conniving, manipulative and evil than men.
Now how many women will get mad at me for telling the truth? "

I don't think anyone here has said that women are the nicer gender(that I know of).
To reset the score:
I hold doors open for all men and women, strike up conversations with men and women quite alot(just I'm not a loud person), Men's bodies are absolutely scrummy in every way, I do have occassional mood swings(being treated for depression), I don't blame my problems on men-quite often I blame myself, I just want to get the job done in a workplace and I avoid b!tchiness at all costs-I'm there to earn money not gossip and be mean.
It may be truth for some women, but not for all :)

Men feel like they live in a world made of cardboard and are encouraged to be gentle . When boys fight each and they fight each other alot they learn whats off limits in fistcuffs with other males .
Womyn are getting new roles and positions of power which is a good thing . However what i would say to women is dont be a b*tch becasue you can, only be b*tch when absolultley necessary.
Learn to modulate your power and your leadership .With great power comes great responsiblty. You have fought long and hard for gender equalty .Now you need when to use that power and when not to. Most of all you need to learn to use that power constructivley.

You must live in the south, do you? Women in the South are pretty stuck on gender roles, but I can't really agree with any except 4 and 6. Women hold the door open for me, and say thanks when I do it to them. Even gay women love my body... and getting women to STOP talking is more of an issue. So I don't agree with that list. I do however have a list similar to that... but I won't hijack your thread.

In Cantonese, woman pronounce as "nu ren" had the same pronunciation as "troublesome". Troublesome are the word to describe most woman (99.99%).
Women ask for the equalness in both sex. Man should be the one who ask for it. Some woman ask for "lady first" in some condition like in a queue, in the other hand they ask for equalness.
Albert Einstein had said: " Two things are infinite: the universe and the human stupidity; and i'm not sure about the universe." Maybe he was taking about woman, and the dumb lady reporter had mistaken the woman as human. Who knows?
But, buddy, you can destroy all woman in the planet. If you do so, there will be no more hot chick and sex for man. Maybe man will pose out for the "Playboy" magazine. Elephant hate lions and vice versa. So, as a man, we should learn to life our life beside them. Ignore is the best strategy for now.
P/S : I'm just a Chinese from somewhere with lots of troublesome woman and politics problems.

What do I think, you ask?
I think you are trotting out one stereotype after another. You have no evidence for any of this crap; let's take the 'moods' thing. Who is it populating the nation's prisons? Who are the most dangerous violent offenders?
Young men in bad moods.

Men have high testosterone levels that can up our aggression and create a bad day for everyone.
All women have to match that is PMS
The female is definitely more docile
