Why do people hate women? Idiots! As for me, I love them!
The struggle for female identity and the ascertainment of their roles in society appear to have become the plague of the present-day. More so than yore because today, when confined to operate within set parameters, dissenting women actively oppose the bounds imposed upon them, in turn demanding rights and a reversal of the roles typically associated with them. Where in the past women could easily have been confined to houses or assigned chores outside of their houses, the modern day woman (not everywhere - yet) asks 'why?'.
Here's where the problem starts. Women that pose such questions and stand defiant in the face of traditional roles, which women have been assigned since time immemorial, are upsetting a unique balance which thousands of years of societal development has embellished (not collectively, but individually i.e. for each society on its own). For the record women are not the only strata of society that have begun to overthrow traditional norms. The rights to life, self-determination and speech that have come to define humanity (and all the good that it stands for) have spawned a prolific change in what has, for the larger part, been acceptable since ancient society. By way of example: Homosexuals that were cast out or killed in Abrahamic societies yesterday have increasingly carved out a niche in the fabric of society today, so much so that governments of essentially Christian countries (read ENGLAND) have extended to them, the right of marriage and the sanctity that it comes with it.
Effectively women have come to demand what was denied to them previously: absolute freedom (or at least freedom akin to what men enjoy) and equality, and here's where there struggle starts. Men, that have ruled the households and run the markets of the shire are not going to be outsmarted, outwitted and outdone by feeble, lesser individuals that are only for the purposes of giving birth and weening the young. Men generally love women, except for those that find solace in beasts, but the love is contingent. In a hypothetically utopian society a man is at par with an another man and all things between them are regulated by the rule of law. When one man steals from the other man he automatically falls in grace and becomes a criminal. Men and women are based on a similar footing. As long as the women keep to their traditional roles they are accepted by the men of that tradition but the moment they break free from the shackles that society imposes on them, they become the criminals, persecution of whom is prescribed by traditional law. It shouldn't be this way, but it is. Without such norms and extremes there would be no society and where there is no society, the law of the jungle reigns supreme.
If these female reporters had stayed at home or played whatever role the men of Bangladeshi society ascribe to them, this news article would never have been published. The fact that they were doing otherwise was ONE of the reasons such violence occurred. But such violence is not going to extinguish the cause for equality and hence it is reasonable to presume that there will be more gender-oriented violence. I do not want it, neither do you...but our desire does not dictate the societal force which envelopes us i.e. not all men think like us, that is because not all men have had the same experiences as us. The way things are going, there has been a paradigm shift in the aspirations of today's women compared to those of the past. This being so because their struggle (a continuum of the Suffragette movement of America) to demand respect and rights has not fallen on deaf ears and in many spheres they have actively changed the role that women are conventionally known to play e.g. With the exception of the Amazon women, females have had little business with the rigors of war in the past but major armies in the world today have assigned combat roles to female cadets.
Thus, in summary, men do not hate women (at least not all). Women instigate the ire of man (not all, but some) by doing things differently. This comment is rife with generalizations but they were essential in order to diplomatically put forth the modern day war between men and women. It's happening. Depending on your age and orientation you may not feel it, but its there, behind every wall, at the corner of every street. The women are waking up and the men are fighting back and I am on the women's side. Why? Because they are not subhuman, and also because by making them redundant we have halved the effective population of this world!
They are pissing bricks in their Pants out of fear. At least, the hilarious post of chapatti @
