I despair of the male gender...

What a week it's been for arsehole men revelations. Aside from the usual Big Daikon misogyny (men who've come to Japan solely so that they can have willing, subservient"hot Asian chicks" who will let them perform facials and whatnot and never expect anything in return...By the way I'm not saying this is what J-girls are like, this is just the consensus on what is desired), friends of mine have been having man troubles ranging from attempted infidelity (I'm not sure exactly what an attempted infidelity is- was he rejected, did he stop at the last minute, did she catch him in the act- but I'm not getting any more details than that at this point) to a journal filled with obscenities, perversion, and bitter bitter darkness. I mean, do men really prefer wanking to hentai than time with their G/F? And for gods sake, who puts cheating on their girlfriend on two "to do" lists even if they are just "being silly". Women just don't DO this kind of stuff! Well, none of the ones i know. Even the privy ones who watch porn.

and these are NICE guys by the way, on the surface... Not overly sexist or mean... But underneath...

do men really hate women as much as it seems? i never used to think so. i believed that under the skin we were intrinsically the same, that there were some bad apples but that most people were decent and wanted the same things out of life and relationships. But.. All the men's magazines and message boards and blogs and websites and pornography... It's disheartening.
