Are modern women increasingly violent/disrespectful toward men?

Question

Police will tell you it's an epidemic although rarely reported because men still cling to their egos...

Answer 1

Yes, thanks to Feminism.

Answer 2

Ask any police officer...they spend 95% of their shift dealing with domestic incidents.  I think it goes both ways.

Answer 3

I find your use of the word "disrespect" interesting.  It implies a sense of entitlement and superiority, whereas respect should be mutual, and must be earned.

Secondly, domestic violence against men is largely a myth created by the "Father's Rights" movement, which is little more than an organized backlash against feminism.  Unbiased statistics are difficult to find, as most online sources are nothing but incredible biased sites of the "Men's Movement."

Answer 4

I would say that the world at large is losing respect for its fellow person.  This is not just women.

Answer 5

I think that people in general are increasingly violent and disprespectful toward each other.

Answer 6

interesting. I would have said women were more assertive in specifying what they want and don't want, but i don't see that as either violent or disrespectful.

Answer 7

They should be. Look at the history of women.

Answer 8

yes - and with far more resources to  do harm - a man must be prepared now and use his own wits - the dichotomy that is used meaning either one or the other is wuss or assh''''le   - those names are called based on how I deal with her - I am filing reports with police and no contact orders - taking the last items from her home when she is at work - my toothbrush and razor - preparing for the final showdown where she will throw everthing at me from slander to my job - fabricating allegations - to carrying out the threats she has made - I have had a knife held to me and she has driven her Honda SR-V in a parking lot -

Answer 9

I think women have loved, hated, respected, and disrespected men throughout history, so there is no recent epidemic.  I just think men have begun to come forward more often and society is now willing to acknowledge such behavior, despite the objections of idiots and deniers.

Answer 10

I am convinced that women are committing more dv than men are. Passive aggression, mental and emotional and physical abuse towards men is glorified in the media.

Answer 11

Violent, no. Disrespectful, yes. The morality and virtue of women has almost reached that of men.

Answer 12

Yes women are loosing their minds! The feminist movement has caused women to be confused about who they are and what role to play in this world.

Answer 13

Yes, definitely.  There is no societal condemnation of it.

  Our media are being forced to admit there's a problem occasionally but always in connection with violence by men, excusing women by saying men are worse.

It's exactly like coverage of Israeli apartheid.  On the rare occasions the media admits this, it's always in connection with saying it's basically the Palestinians' fault

Of course NO women have admitted this in the answers..the only women who has answered has taken the above line..

Naturally they prefer not to answer at all...

Answer 14

yes, feminism has the double edge of helping women lose the traits commonly thought of as femininity.

Answer 15

There is NO doubt that the "modern American women" has become the worlds worst nightmare. Pol after pol ranks them dead last in men wanting to marry them. I have watched a new generation of women become violent, bratty, demanding and entitled. American women mistakenly equate feminism to equality. However the two are so far apart from one another.

As a 40 something American male I never saw my mother or my friends mothers have regular temper tantrums, slam doors, have regular bi polar emotional breakdowns and treat our fathers (their husbands) with total disrespect.

Now I know women on this site will say "not all American women do this" or "It's not like this in my house" but just go on line and google "modern American women" or something to this effect and you will see men around the world are avoiding them like the plague! American women will find their new fame feminism very lonely.

Answer 16

Alright check this out...

The rule of thumb: a man must not beat his wife with anything wider than the size of his thumb.  Men have always used physical attributes to oppress women.  The wedding ring is a reminder from when a woman was kidnapped and held restrained until she submitted.

What were seeing is nothing new.  I believe we're experiencing the affects of nothing really being news anymore.  We're scraping the bottom of the barrel for excitement.  Women have been killing off husbands for centuries, it just wasn't talked about mostly to secure the male ego.  I mean if they can't trust what's going on in their homes, how could they sleep at night?

I'll tell you this...I have always been very physical with my men.  Mostly because I think they can take it.  It's the idea that women are these passive creatures with no will of their own that makes these reports more sensational.  And truth be told, the fact that I am so physical is what keeps me restrained with dealing with the opposite s*x.  For all I know, timid blonds with big **** are the perfect women. It may be the region in which I live, but the men I've met mostly don't want someone to give them a real run for their money.  And our relationships are doomed because they are never equal.

Answer 17

No. It's just that some men tend to call everything disrespectful. If a woman is asked by a strange, smelly,  drunken lager lad on the street if she wants him to "ahem" her and she says "no", he'll start calling her "*****" and other names, and bully her together with his equally smelly drunken mates. No wonder woman get angry.

If you want a woman to be a lady, behave like a gentleman.

Answer 18

That's because respect has to be earned. If you act disrespectful towards me, I will act the same way back. If you are polite to me, then I will be polite to you.

Answer 19

Because women always play the victim, they will give you a slap and then say something like "I can't believe you just made me do that" so men get the blame no matter what.

Answer 20

Its not "modern" women...its "western" women.....

I copied this from an article I read a long time ago, I thought it was funny but kind of true:

"The default position of western women is what men refer to as “the chip,” a veiled aggressiveness, mixed with a not-very-veiled hostility toward men and a shaky sense of sexual identity. The result is a touchiness no man wants to deal with. There is a bandsaw edge to them, a watching for the slightest wrong move so that they can show that they aren´t going to take it. They are poised to lash out in aggressive defense of their manhood.

As best as I can tell, they don´t like being women.

Asian women show every indication that they do like being women. They do not seem to have anything to prove. Being happy with what they are allows them to be comfortable with what they are not – men. They are not competing to be what they can´t be with people who can´t be anything else. They don´t have to establish their masculinity because they don´t want it. They do not assume, as American women tend to, that femaleness is a diseased condition to be treated with aggressiveness and bad temper." -Stickman
