Women were placed on a sort of pedestal and were associated with everything good about humanity. They were/are nurturing, loving, emotional, compassionate, giving, selfless, beautiful, and so on.
We, on the other hand, were ugly, violent, brutal, oppressive, selfish, sexually shallow, emotionally clueless, and basically the root of all evil.
As women were openly encouraged to explore and love their own bodies (at least in the circles I moved in) I came to see my body as something not unlike a weapon. A disgusting implement of violence against others. And while my penis may be the knife, my sexual needs were clearly the knife wielding maniac.

Any of this make sense?

Part of this is because this is what we were always told growing up. You and I are about the same age because I remember the same thing. The funny thing is there are guys that are not like us at all. They are the ones that women are really not happy with, but it seems that these are the guys that women are really after. That is why I posted "38 things every woman should know about men!" In hopes that looking at this list they will understand that we are not savages and we are a kind and caring group. I understand where you are coming from trust me on this one.
