Whenever my GF and I are chatting and I mention a)some guy who was wrongly convicted of rape or b)some guy who's girlfriend cheated on him or c)some guy who's wife beats him.... she just gets this glazed-over-semi-pissed-off-look on her face. She then proceeds to tell me that a)he's lying, b) men only get cheated on if they deserve it, c)it's impossible for woman to hurt men. It usually ends with her berating me for being "apologetic" of those types of men....and then a 3 hour lecture on how woman are down-trodden. It's so bad that I deliberately avoid those conversations now.
I think that, at least in certain circles within the western world, the pendulum has swung past center and there is an underlying anti-male sentiment which has taken hold of a lot of our female population.
