Yahoo Answers is a site full of warped little brats with multiple accounts that just use the site to rant and rave about their pitiful problems all day and attack and bully people that disagree with their opinions. I was a paid moderator on a Country Music Channel’s forum for up to four years and I had to deal with some ****ing crazy obsessive fans on there and I can spot people with multiple accounts by their writing and I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if there are only ten real people on that site and especially on sections like Gender Studies. Don’t take anything they write on that site seriously because it is likely to be ******** and the girl you were talking to could have been a bloke using a picture of a woman he found on Google Images for all you know.
That is not to say there aren’t people that have that view but if you are going to use a site to back up a claim try looking at a more reliable site for information. I seem to remember hearing Elliott Rodger was a member of Yahoo Answers along with his ‘YMCA.’ friends which isn’t that surprising because on first observation my Wife called some members psychopaths that have no mental grasp of reality and a very unhealthy and distorted perspective of the real world. Judging by the level of hatred most of the male members on Gender Studies demonstrate on their posts for people I agree and I think a jail cell might be looking good for them in the future. |
LOL, ironically I have been on the Gender Studies section on YA a lot, and yeah your description is pretty spot on. I didn't know that Elliot Rodger used to go on there, that's actually not surprising. The male posters on there are all out to present this view of the world where women control the dating scene and that if you are a man you're screwed unless you look like Brad Pitt. And a lot of the female posters are pretty extreme as well. It's just a bad place. Back when I used to get on there I had a much more negative view of things and was much more depressed.
But with that said, I have a pretty good eye for these things and can tell when someone is trolling and when they are real. The 22 year old girl I am talking about was definitely real. And it's really not surprising at all, I was just using her as an example. The point I was making is that women aren't stigmatized like men are for having those preferences. And when you look at my question on here about 45 year old women dating 20 year old guys and compare the results of the poll to the one about the 45 year old guys and 20 year old girl, you will see that there is truth to this.
