What about this is so important?
Here is what I think.
I don't know any men who hate women as a whole. I do know that many men mistreat women. It makes me feel bad when I see it because I am of the same gender as they are. I think those guys are immature and don't have a very well developed set of social skills.
I've seen the hurt in women's eyes when they have been disrespected. That also makes me feel sad. I am not a saint in this respect but I do pride myself in trying to see women as they would want me to. I don't want to be someone who hurt them or made their life more uncomfortable than it should be.
My wife is very independent and I am glad for it. We don't try to manipulate each other or tell each other what to think or how to act.
My mother-in-law was very active in NOW and my sister-in-law is gay. I have good relationships with the women I know.
Before I was married I had a number good romantic relationships. Most of the time it was the woman who approached me first.
So I am happy with myself and my opinion and my respect for women.
What is said on this board about me is not really relevant to me because I know who I am.
