Answer 7

if love them, try to help them take them to an anger management counseler like www.talktomartyb.com . but if you don't like her, separate from him

Answer 8

If their mothers were being mothers they would know how to treat women. The way this question is worded it is sexist. If it was phrased how do you deal with aggressive people it would be proper.

1. show embarrassment first then move on to actions like attempts to report to the law enforcement or something

5 expect too much on them which they can't accomplish and let them realize that they are not that capable.

6. what??

7. show your height and muscle.. they work effectively. im 5'7 and always wear 3.5 heels to make men feel smaller

8 i dont get number 6. anyway its important to find what exactly they're lacking in and weak at. and dig into their weakness and keep making fun of it until they realize their shortage. It could be either ur intelligence, physical character or your educational background.

Answer 10

Agree with Kris W entirely.

Charlie, she wouldn't end up in prison. Just a halfway house where she can get an education to further her "career".

Answer 11

Usually ends up with the guy getting short in his sleep and woman in prison although could be i have been watching to much snapped.

Answer 12

Pepper spray?

Answer 13

Hmmm, usually I give back as good as I get and know what the other persons weakness is and can be quite vicious if someone double-crosses me, but then if the other person is being a ning-nong and busting for a reaction, I let it slide as there are other ways of dealing with such types who try to manipulate me.

Answer 14

Men who wear degrading images on clothing

Men who listen to degrading music  ex: Rap

Men who almost rape you and their defense to keep you is that another man wouldn't have stopped

Men who talk too loud

Men who say that there is no female God so therefore women are worthless

Men who constantly badger and insult feminists

In a perfect world these men wouldn't exist              In a semi-perfect world we would be allowed to shoot them       In this world you walk away form them and if they get too dangerous you call the police. However if you know how to fight, you lay them out real pretty like.

Answer 15

the point is mute. Who ever disagrees with feminist ideology of female supremacy is automatically a self hating women or a misogynist chauvinistic male.

         But by claiming only men do those things above proves without a doubt the true intentions of feminist ideology.

Answer 16

Every woman will meet at least one man like this in their life, and we will all learn from the experience, it will make us stronger and wiser in a lot of ways but at the end of the day we will need to find peace with the fact that people like this exist.

The person I had the experience with will die long before me and be remembered as a deeply flawed and useless man and I will  always remember the time time I stood up to him, not that that makes up for the mental anguish he caused me but I have a lot of years ahead to learn how to forgive him. I know that a man like that could never be changed for the better.

If there's one thing I have learnt about bullies is don't bother being reasonable – like having 'the chat' about their behaviour, it don't work, give him only one calm and clear warning expressing that this is his only warning and explaining what disciplinary and legal action will be if it happens again, and if it does - fight for your right to be treated decently

Answer 17

Unfortunately, women are more likely to be arrested for assault in defending themselves than a rapist is for accomplishing his task. So quite often, there's not much to do. I've grown very very tired of trying to help ignorant people, or to argue with them, especially when they're just going to say you're not rational due to your gender, so I generally just stop talking to them. I've lost some good friends this way (through not talking to them, as well as trying to argue). Sorry, this is turning into a long answer. 1, 2, 5 and 6 I have to give up on alot of the time. I hate that I do, but when people have such ingrown ideas, it's hard to amek them see how ****** up it is (especially when you're a very significant minority in this). For men who talk down, and who think they're superior, I'm fairly quick so I can usually put them in their place. Men who are violent, I fight back, though I try to be careful as I don't really need an assault charge or worse. Men who try to control, I resist, these ones are generally ones i know well, and i can spend some time trying to get them to see that misogyny isn't natural and all that, but so far no luck with that. I generally avoid all of the above. It's not a great solution, but I've become so upset with the world that I really can't bear it any longer. I've never actually met anyone who doesn't fit the above criteria.

Answer 18

Same way I deal with anti-fems who can't spell "MOOT" (not mute LOL) but think they are smart enough to use it in a sentence.

I correct them, and begin to list off their faults like the alphabet until they start to stutter.  Then I know I'm winning.  That only makes me better.

1. Men who make unwanted sexual comments

I answer..."You like that d**k...want to keep it another day?

2. Men who catcall

See #1

3. Men who talk down to women

Correct them.

4. Men who retaliate if you dismiss their solicitations

See #1

5. Men who think they are superior

See #3

6. Women who give into this mentality

Shake head in pity

7. Men who try to CONTROL in any fashion

Tell them I'm not a child, and not up for adoption.

Addition - men who stare.  Talk to a friend, point at them, and start laughing hysterically.

I try to ignore these things most of the time, but if that doesn't work, the above methods have served me well.

Answer 19

We don't. Aggressive people are bullies, which translates into a cowardice. These people are not interested in strong and self assured females, because they can't possibly control us on mental or emotional level. They are toothless in our company. That is why the kind of females they do target are individuals with self esteem issues, loners and general victims in life. In my own life, if one of them actually approaches me with his miserable song and dance, I snob him down well enough, so he won't ever be coming back for more. For example: my very first job after college was for a large research company, where most of the employees were considerably older than me and predominantly male. Some of them felt free to make comments about the way I looked, even though we all were wearing  a lab coat at work. Now one older man I had to interact with from time to time in my job had a very rude habit of staring at my chest the entire time we had  meetings together. It used to drive me up to wall so much, that one day I simply had enough. I had said something to the effect of: these are my b*****s, location of my face is quite a bit higher on my body. We were standing in the hallway and there were other people around. So, after that little episode I became a legend, old fool and his friends made sure they had adjusted their attitudes toward me and other young ladies and there was never a problem of that sort heard of again.

Answer 20

I never waste my time with ignominious troglodytes; you can’t talk sense to people whose reality is skewed. These people can not think beyond their own self-fish and very loudly put external observations. If I come across people like those, I do not react; one bit. I ignore them with every fibre of my being.

This quote by Peter Ustinov puts it perfectly

His virtue was that he said what he thought, his vice; that what he thought didn't amount to much.

Answer 21

How do feminists deal with aggressive men?

1. Men who make unwanted sexual comments

2. Men who catcall

3. Men who talk down to women

4. Men who retaliate if you dismiss their solicitations

5. Men who think they are superior

6. Women who give into this mentality

7. Men who try to CONTROL in any fashion

I try my best to avoid all the above mentioned. When there is no way to avoid them; as an example I suffered through a history course taught by a complete moronic professor who mentioned s*x and misogyny every class time, who left his hand right next to his "zipper" when he lectured, would not wear his wedding ring, and who talked down to the women in the class. I could not avoid him without further punishing myself--I would have had to take a history course some other semester and couldn't re-arrange my schedule if I had dropped his course. I have not retaliated like I should because it would just take up my time and worry. I can avoid him in the future though and I do talk with other students who can avoid him also. I wonder what he would have to talk about if his class was full of just young men?

I try my very best to avoidall types of psychopaths.
