Why do women get intoxicated faster than men?

Why are women blamed if they get hurt by men? Why can't society realize that bad men DO EXIST?

  • MANY WOMEN get hurt by bad men b/c the men were bad, while others are hurt b/c they chose bad men to be with. However, even if many women avoid bad men and go for 'good guys,' and wind up hurt by many of them, society still blames the woman for getting hurt, why is that? Esp western society? Why do westerners have so little sympathy for women who get hurt by men? Western(white men) say women deserve to get hurt by men b/c she chose the guy or b/c she was bad herself, then these same men have the nerve to go call non white men rapists, abusers, etc. Why the hypocrisy? Seems to me that the REAL HYPOCRITES are Westerners. it's akin to blaming a woman for being raped when the RAPIST is at fault. Why is western society this way?

  • Answer:

    Okay let's put aside the fact that you're making a fallacious argument about how hard women have it in Western society. Let's put aside the fact that you not only are making this a gender issue, but a race issue as well. What needs to be addressed is personal responsibility. Why is it that in Western society (especially America) that men are held to higher standards than women? If a man screws up or does something wrong it's rubbed in his face and he has to pay for it. Meanwhile when women mess up they can't be held accountible for their actions. And if you so much as criticize them then you're a judgemental *sshole. Also why is that women can be with terrible men but they can't be held accountable when something bad happens because of their poor judge of character? And no one except a small minority of idiots blames women for being raped. 99.9% of the time the woman did nothing to provoke it. Finally let's move on to your racism. You're hypocritical. You want to demonize white people but defend women. What's the difference? And nobody stereotypes minorities as rapists and abusers. Maybe those are your own stereotypes. Get your facts straight and get some critical thinking skills

You're not a bad man after all. (:

Manif is female btw. I think it is mainly because many women seem to be attracted to 'bad boys'. You do not see men going after 'bad girls' like you see women going after bad boys. I for one do not have any sympathy for women that have broken man pickers that keep falling for the wrong kind of men all the time. At the same time I don't have any sympathy for guys that keep going after the wrong kind of women either. One of the things that drives guys crazy is women saying how they want respectful, nice, romantic men but then friend zone those men and date assholes instead and then complain how there are no good men left. That IMO is one of the reasons why men don't have any sympathy for women that date the wrong kind of men.

Whilst people are often partly responsible for their judge of character (not always. Many abusers are good at seeming like your friend at first before they turn nasty), I don't victim blame and I believe that it is always the bully's fault. Just because someone is somehow an easy target no one has any right to be a bully or to take advantage. For example, just because a woman is naive and walks home with a stranger it does not give him the right to rape her. He is the person who has bad intentions. He is the one we should be pointing the finger at She should be advised not to walk home with strangers, but the rape was 100% the man's fault. He is the one who hurt another human being, not the woman. Another example (this happened to my Mother's ex), a very drunk man gets into a car with a dodgy looking taxi driver. He just wants a lift home and he is extremely drunk. The taxi driver beats the drunk man up and steals his wallet. The victim is too drunk to defend himself. Would I blame the man for being drunk? No I wouldn't. The taxi driver was the one with bad intentions. The drunk man should have been more careful about how he handled his drink and he should be advised to do so but the taxi driver should be the one who is blamed and punished for hurting another human being. I cannot stand victim blaming. People who are in vulnerable situations should not be held responsible for the sadism of those who abuse them. They should be advised to be a bit more wise, but they should never be blamed.

Uuuuuhhh you must not be from where I'm from cause where I live, a girl could grind a mans testicles into nut-paste, spread on a slice of bread and feed it to him, and walk away without drawing any attention. If a man even thinks about pushing a woman, S.W.A.T. is called in.
