Why is it when I ask a well-phrased well-grounded and thought out question, do you girls refer to one of these:
1. Are you gay?
2. You need to grow up!
3. Do you even like women?
4. Is your weenie too small?
5. You must have been burnt pretty bad by a woman?
6. Your fragile male ego!
7. Do you even love your mother? Etc, etc, etc...
Why cant I ever have a normal discussion here like I do in other sections of YA? How low does your self-esteem have to be to resort to those childish shaming tactics to avoid criticism? Come on ladies, give me an intelligent answer, maybe that will change the perception!

It is the princess mentality. No accountability therefore what you say is alien to them.

Well let's see....I just went and looked at some of the questions that you've asked on here.
In one question, you suggested that women as a group have poor budgeting skills. This is an unfair generalization that doesn't apply to every woman or even most. It's an insult. Don't be surprised if you receive insults in return.
In another question, you seemed to suggest that, as a man, you spend all your time thinking, planning, and analyzing, whereas women let all of their actions be guided by spontaneous emotions. Once again, this is an untrue stereotype and an insult. You deserved an insult in return.
So, bottom line: Ask questions that aren't by their very nature insulting and you'll get plenty of logical, well-thought out responses. The women in this section of Yahoo! get trolled, insulted, and taunted all the time, so perhaps we're a little less tolerant of bullshit than most. But I assure you we're all quite capable of rational, logical thought.

It does not appear that you necessarily seek kindness and intelligent answers. You seem to seek abuse and conflict. I received more thumbs down than up on my polite and helpful answer I posted on a previous question you asked today. That can be discouraging to the people who want to be polite and helpful. And, just FYI, this is not a forum or a site for "discussions". To help orient you, this is Yahoo Answers where people ask a question, people who are seeking help and information. Then, others answer the question as best as they can in a helpful, courteous way. But, as you know, there are many damaged, disturbed people posting here. When an asker sounds suicidal or violent or angry or otherwise expresses instability or mental disease, the best way to answer is to recommend counseling or medical treatment or simply to state something like: Misogyny is a mental and social disease.

Well...are you? Will you? Do you? Is it? Did you? Is it? Do you?
Normal discussion. Hmmmm. In this forum? I have come to the conclusion that it's not going to happen. My self-esteem is pretty high, and I don't resort to shaming others--although people attempt to do it to me...that would be men and women...and I'm fine with criticism, as long as it's legitimate and based on something. This forum is hopelessly dysfunctional--be careful...some ladies have more fragile egos than other ladies. And it ain't me I'm talking about.

It comes from a lack of reason and accountability. It really makes women as a group look bad. Luckily a lot of women I know in real life are not like that.
You have to figure.. some of these women are on this forum 7 days a week 12 hours a day. What does that tell you about the kind of life they have?

I don't spend much time here so I don't know what kind of questions you ask. But if people are avoiding your critism, maybe you aren't being fair. I don't know. I'll keep an eye open for the next question.

I have not seen any examples of your questions, other than this one. But if you are consistently getting responses like these by a number of different people...I would say that you may have a problem with the WAY you ask a question or what types of questions you ask. You are offending people.

My grandpa used to say "if three people call you a horse, maybe it's time to buy a saddle."
Seriously though, maybe it is the way you present your questions or comments?...Maybe people are taking offense to what you're saying or how you're saying it-- even though you think you've phrased the question in a non-offensive way. It could be that there is a better way to say something and still get your point across?

It's usually a quick retort to someone who hates on and bashes all women. To hate half of the entire population really makes you wonder what's behind all of it.
Were they abused by their moms? Do they have homosexual tendencies? Are they just heartbroken?
If it's one woman who wronged you- that's one thing, but it's the "questions" that are aimed at every single female that get the responses that you list above.

There are some people who make responses like those but I never have.

Well, what do you expect when you post a question to the general public? There are always going to be some bad apples in the barrel, so I wouldn't take it personally.
