1. Maybe not cool and fabulous, but the right thing to do and perfectly normal. Things like "she asked for it" referred to rape victims are commonly heard even in western countries (for example: [url]http://www.care2.com/causes/she-asked-for-it-survey-finds-women-blame-victims-for-rape.html[/url]).
Isn't this men feeling satisfied and OK with violence against women?

Why are you sure about that?
Because I'm assuming you have at least a high school education?

How is rape and castration equal? We are not talking about it.
It is not equal. I was merely trying to explain the reason why some women, even today, hate men. I thought I made that clear in my first post on this thread. By the way, men castrated "hysteric" women by removing their ovaries, as early as in the nineteenth century. So, yeah. And google "infibulation" in case you're interested (I'll make it easier for you: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_genital_mutilation[/url]).

Also, do you see rapists being praised for that? Do you have TV shows, works of art devoted to rapists?
I hope I won't have to repeat it again: I think it is wrong for some women to do that. I am talking about the reason why some women hate men, which is history.

BS. Women were tortured and killed because they were "women"?
In many cases, yes. Just read a history book. Men were tortured and killed because they were accused of having done something wrong. In most cases, all you needed (in some places, need: [url]http://tikulicious.wordpress.com/2009/12/09/witch-hunting-the-dark-indian-reality/[/url]) to accuse a woman of in order to torture and kill her was that she *was* a woman, therefore impure and diabolical.

What about men killed in countries run by women (British Empire and the Russian Empire)? In such a case females were killed by equals, right???
LOL... on a strictly political level, I guess you could say that (?). Keep in mind though that the women sitting on the throne did not commit violence against women based on the fact that they were women. Also, the usual violence at home or on the streets, or even committed by men at war against the women of the countries they "conquered", was definitely "man against woman" violence. Finally (just to go along with this rather absurd statement), I'm sure you are aware that female reigns occurred in history far less often than male reigns.
Quote:
What about men considered unpure (native populations in conquered countries)?
Native men AND WOMEN were considered impure. It was never a gender related thing.

3. Men have been killed and tortured more than females. Can you provide sources to that statement? Even if what you say is true, once again, it was/is violence committed by men unto other men - equals upon equals. It is not relevant because we are talking about male-female interactions.
See above
I don't see it.

4. It may be a myth in the current USA society. Sadly, it was FAR from a "myth" up until the last century in the USA as well, and it's *still* a very real situation in many countries in the world even today. There are, obviously, exceptions.
Again, even in those countries "oppressive"to women, please indicate monuments, works of art or literature devoted to castration of females or murder or rape?
See what I bolded above.
Please educate yourself before talking about something you don't know. I see your point - women in the current USA shouldn't laugh about violence against men. I agree with that 100%, laughing about other people's suffering is always wrong. But if you want reasons for which nowadays, some "liberated" women still feel spiteful against men in general, all you have to do is open a history book.
