I was taught that men are superior to women by my male family

My dad always told me that women never invented anything of use usually and they only did 1ce or twice and how women are weaker then men and how men created society, he spoke to me when I was 13. That I should be an alpha male and tell my girl what to do if I do date. I realise this is wrong but is this normal? Feminism is fucked up but this stuff is ingrained in my head and as a result I don't respect women as much as I do men. Thanks

    There are many things In which female are far more better than males & many things in which males are better it doesn't mean that one is superior to other in every aspect that's some messed up shit your dad told you at 13

    That's definitely not normal, he tried to fuck you up psychologically just because he was a sad old cunt. He's just bitter and insecure about having never accomplished anything himself so he tries to boost his self esteem by associating himself with successful people, through something as meaningless as being part of the same gender.

    It was hardly ever a fair competition between men and women in the past. The heinous opinions of your father were unfortunately the norm back then, and were even the law for most of it.

    Besides, you can always argue the opposite. Name the worst people in history, they were all men. Who has committed the worst crimes? They were all men. Who makes up 90% of all the current world's prisoners? Men. Who commits most government corruption and terrorist attacks? Men.

    I think what you are experiencing is "homo sexuality." Women anger you because they stir up feelings of attraction to men that you don't understand. Lucky for you, craigslist has many guys willing to satisfy your sexual needs.

      what the hell are you talking about? It is not a bad thing to be gay, but I mean what does anything have to do with being gay. also, if you are trying to insult someone you should not call them gay. that is offensive.

        I'm not calling you gay, I'm saying that your insecurity about your sexual preferences is causing you to hate women for not arousing you as much as you'd like. There's nothing wrong with being gay, but it must suck to live in denial about who you are.

          I'm not exactly sure about this, but I would guess that you used to be a sex positive feminist. But after all the drama, the misogyny, the taming of wild testosterone, you only want the tranquility of cuddling a cat. It's all the heaven a woman could ever want.

            once again. I love cats. but men do too. Who has not cuddled a cat before? Who has not cuddled with a dog? Men these days would cuddle with all the animals and then say a female is a female just because they like to have cats or dogs in the bed. Of course, Mr. Little McBean, I know what people really like. To be with each other. I should not be so harsh with you. I love this type of drama. I just wanted to respond, because I have neither beans nor cats.

  • Too extreme to be normal. Your dad was just a bitter old misogynist. Maybe he had some nasty experiences with women.

    Men did invent most things, and they are physically stronger. The issue is, he's integrating those historical and biological facts into his bias to make it seem more convincing.

    It's like propaganda.

    There's no scientific evidence now that says that men are actually smarter; IQ and stuff varies from person to person.

    If men are superior because they're stronger, than a weak man, no matter what else he has achieved, is inferior to a stronger man just because he's not ripped.

  • Men tend to consider physical strength makes them superior. That's why boys get into playground fights so much more than girls. If they have a disagreement they fight, they seem to think whoever wins the fight must be right. Goes to show how much more superior the female brain is.

      women's brains are fully developed on average at 25 years. Mens brains, on average, develop after that. but I mean it is anyone's guess on which is better due to the fact that once your brain is fully developed you can only get worse, and that developing faster means you are at capacity sooner. love women and men- just saying

I like deep, vibrant colors, but all of them are unique and good at certain times. I just wish that the world would realize that colors and thoughts have a bigger effect than we ever thought. One of the best and me decided it had to be true one day.

          You know men went to the moon and back right? You know that women, specifically black women, “invented” the math used to do it right? You know that a woman, again black, was the director of computer operations for NASA for decades. You further know that put a woman’s pro team in nearly any sport up against a male college team (men at or near their physical peak) and the males will be crushed. Should I go on or are you returning to your “tranny games” channel, watching with your like (and narrow) minded daddy?

            ill informed, misinformed. Negativity is all around us. All we have to do is confine ourselves into a position where we know it is all around us, but in the same way it will not affect us as bed ever. It is called being positive. It is called doing the right thing, listening, and trying to understand. This is the internet. It is a true oyster of so many words that the credibility is damaged, but the truth remains in consistency and hope.

    Everyone is shaped in a way- their entire life sequence effects them. This has been an age old dilemma. In every context- it is minimal, but when people take it to the extreme- it is much more. If he treats women right, than why worry about the minimal influence for "bad". A thought is not bad. An influence is generally good in most cases. You are good to my knowledge, but then again so is he. I am good to noone, but those who know. I am good in context, because of my life sequence. Because of the way people have always perceived me. But I know consistently I do what I think is right just like most people I know.

    It is called indoctrination. You can actually overcome this, though. You just have to try and eliminate your prejudice by getting to know women and finding out women's contributions.
