(12,051 posts)mention prison -- but men's negative experiences are multiplied by a thousand for most women. From nearly the day they are born, women are inundated with sexual stuff that, to them, is not very alluring. In the park - "see my dick!" At school - bra strap snapping, groping. At work -- boss rubs his boner on you from behind. It's never pleasurable, believe me. And it's pretty much constant. Very soon we are tired of dicks ("thanks, I'll find one on my own"
, grabs ("fuck off!"
, going to HR over harassment ("No one witnessed it, so there's not much we can do"
and on and on. If you're a woman, you get a whole different playing field and thus a whole different attitude toward men, dicks and society in general.
There are many times I think this disparity would be essentially erased by genetically altering women so they, as a group, are as physically strong as men. Much of of the lopsidedness is due to the fact that, generally, we cannot physically fight back and expect much chance of winning. Over hundreds of thousands of years of evolution, that has led to a nearly predator/prey relationship between men and women, which is sad.
