I don't know you very well, but any time a woman stands up for women, one or two men think it means you hate men.

28. I see nothing in that thread that would indicate that you hate men.
If anyone thinks you hate men because you are a feminist then they are likely an ignorant right winger.

Rather alarmist, that fella.
I would like to state for the record that every woman I call friend is more successful than me and I don't feel threatened in the least, but when it comes down to pissing contests I can write the answers in the snow without moving my feet...so there! :P

Somebody who doesn't know you thinks that. Who cares what somebody like that thinks? You know better, and anybody who has known you for more than five minutes knows that. What else matter?

I haven't interacted with you much, when I did it didn't seem like you hated me at all but I have seen you interact w/ many of the male DUers quite a bit and you don't seem to hate men the least bit. What happened to make you want to ask this question? :shrug:

25. Other
You have some individual issues with individual men and you use the Lounge to vent. That doesn't give me enough information to decide whether there's just a few guys that really got you mad, or you have extrapolated to all of us.

So, i can't accuse you of hating me, but i don't know for sure you don't just because i'm male. I can assume you don't, but there's no way for me to know, because you and i are just names on screen to one another.

So, i had to say Other. I try hard not to pass judgment.

30. No offense, but I don't know you.
Give us a rough outline of your general impressions of men and I'd have something to work with.

The name "lionessprriyanka" and a pink triangle indicate a high likelihood off lesbianism, but I don't necessarily equate that with man-hatin'.

I have noticed, however, that some lifelong lesbians who have had little experience with straight men hold a lot of stereotypical beliefs about us. (That aggression equals masculinity, etc. ) A lot of men, like myself, are neither feminized, nor aggressive and rough.

To me, being a real man is about taking care of your responsibilities and standing your ground when it matters, not showing off and picking fights.

That being said, I've met more cool lesbians than not.

The worst lesbian I've ever heard of was Tammy Bruce.

The Ann Coulter of the Sappho set.

45. lionesspriyanka is
much more complex than that. lionesspriyanka hates stupid, boring, opinionated men who attempt to put her in a box.

lionesspriyanka adores sophisticated, intelligent men who treat her as a person & not an object.

lionesspriyanka also likes to speak of herself in the 3rd person sometimes.

53. NO, being for yourself as a woman does not
mean that you are anti-men.

I wish men would stop feeling so threatened and understand that.

I think you are courageous for bringing up a topic that is near and dear to many women who are, for whatever reason, too intimidated to bring it up themselves (me included).

Hate is such a strong word anyway. Generally speaking, from what I have seen I don't think you hate men.
To be honest, I don't understand all this women hating men/men hating women thing. If I was going to "hate" anyone, it would be because they really really really really pissed me off (I don't care what they are). Truth is...I can't think of one person I hate.

67. I've read a lot of your posts and frankly,
..I get the feeling that you just "tell it like it is".
You sound like a strong woman and in this day and age, (with all the stepford wives bull), it's quite refreshing.
You sound like a great "DU sister".
