I am distressed by women who are the man hating, anatomy busting types. I know some of them have been abused, but I don't think all men deserve mistreatment.
My mom was not comfortable with my dad complimenting my sister's and my looks and that type of thing.

I agree with you. I’m tired of all the man-hating. And I’m also tired of women feeling they have to be cute or they’re “less than” for staying home. That comes from advertising and media in my opinion. It’s all about selling something and making money and I don’t think it’s just men driving that. Most men I know love their wives for who they are and don’t pressure them about their appearance and quite frankly I want nothing to do with the kind of men who would do otherwise. I have a friend who makes more than twice as much money as her husband and she wouldn’t put his name on their home loan for that reason. She freely admits she has a double standard because if roles were reversed and he made twice as much as her, she would expect to have her name on the home loan. I think there’s just too much hate going on these days and it’s not my cup of tea.
