Why do people think its easier to pick on women...?

Question

instead of men? Is it because of how women are portrayed as sensitive, weak, etc. etc.?

Answer 1

Easier?  Never heard of that. :S

If guys are picking on you, that's because the PUA community tells them that doing so is a surefire way for you to grant them access to the inside of your pants.

Answer 2

People like to hurt others; it gets them off.  So if you are a young innocent woman, you can be a good "victim."  If insulting a guy, he might punch the other in the face.

Answer 3

because women are known as the 'weaker' s*x because they are "emotional".

Answer 4

I haven't been "picked on" since elementary school.  Nor have I been "objectified" or "repressed".  What country and century are you living in?  Perhaps your "overly sensitive".

Answer 5

Because women are much less likely to defend themselves.  If you nip that sh*t in the bud the first time, it won't happen again.

Answer 6

yeah us girls are more in touch with our emotions.

things that some boys just dont understand.

like one time i was at the mall with my two friends and one of my friends boyfriend. we sat down and the kid thought he was being funny and started picking on his own girl friend. he'd be talking and he'd stop and say " so-*no names* has big thighs - after i went to bowling camp..." and "one time i had a parrot - *no names*'s hair is really frizzy"

he was a dipshit. they broke up not too long after, but yeah she was pretty upset she went to the bathroom so i kicked him in the nuts and followed after.

Answer 7

well yeah probably

Answer 8

yes it is. men think we cannot stand up for ourselves and that we're easy targets because most of us do not get physical when in fights, we're very verbal.

Answer 9

I think so that and women often put themselves in positions to be picked on...p**n, strippers, waitresses....a lot of these demean women some are perfectly fine professions and yet it says easy accessible, dumb, etc...to some people.

I'm sick of but people are jerks.

Answer 10

women are naive and emotional, men are stronger and more intelligent thats why but dont worry u women are better at cleanin and parenting thats for sure

Answer 11

were more sensitive :)

Answer 12

Because women let it happen.

One con not be picked on unless one lets it happen. Just as if someone picks on you, you can walk away, ignore it, tell them off or a number of other things.

If you are standing there and taking the abuse you have no one to blame but yourself.

Answer 13

Only young women.

Young women tend to care about what others think about them.  They somehow feel responsible for other people's thoughts and behaviors.

They will grow out of it.

Answer 14

People who pick on others are generally very weak and insecure themselves, so they look for someone they perceive as weaker. Women aren't as physically strong so sometimes it's assumed that we're emotionally weak as well.... strange, because women tend to be much faster with the witty comments!

Answer 15

Good question....

Is it truely easier?

We should find out how many men are in marriages where they are owned by their wives.

And then compare that to marriages where women are owned by their husbands.

By this I mean... You know... When you have to ask your spouse for permission to do everything like you are 5 years old or something.

I associate this with picking on because telling someone what they can and cannot do is a form of bullying in my opinion.

Answer 16

I think its a way of getting girls to like you because I don't run them down and they don't like me.  I fight with other guys all the time their always making me look bad by being unable to control their JR selves.  Men do get teased too if they are not assertive enough.  I make it my personal mission to verbally attack those who prey on the weak.

Answer 17

yeah probably
