Disclaimer: I'm not here to pit women against men or vice versa,
and to be clear I'm not a
feminist I believe that everyone regardless of gender should be treated with equal respect and dignity.
Boy, this post possibly opened a can of worms as in the world today where everyone is divided and has an opinion responding truthfully about how you feel will cause a sting.
In my adult life I have worked with, lived with, been friends with all sorts of women, and I must say that very few of my personal and professional relationships with women went without a dose of jealously, control, anger, and
outright manipulation. As for my relationships with men in all scenarios stated above, the opposite is true.
I've (
and before you attack me, I'm speaking about my personal experiences) had very few incidents with men that have left me feeling out of control or abused in anyway (
abuse is not only physical)- do they happen in the world-
yes, of course, and in some cases things that men do to women are outright horrible but women, as stats show, and from personal experiences, are no

either, and can be worse as they react emotionally.
I feel, and have witnessed, that they also tend to provoke situations that could have been avoided because of their uncontrollable fits of rage and emotionally charged drama (
this is not true for all women, calm down). This has been studied and stats will back up my statement and personally experienced.
It's a two way street and we are human - men and women. We both make mistakes, at times have bad judgment leading to bad situations, especially when love is involved, but knowing how to behave as a normal human being goes a long way in how these situations end up.
I'm not taking sides here, but I can say that personally I feel more comfortable, respected and safe around men (
maybe not the sketchy guy on the sidewalk 
) just overall in my daily encounters and personal relationships past and present.
The bottom line is, women
and men behave badly- men just seem to get the blunt of it all because they are men - think #
meetoo movement,
that was a nightmare for men- women outright
lied accusing men of horrendous things destroying their life- but that's forgotten, let's slip that under the rug- we don't want to bring that up, and acknowledge that women can be outright liars! And the wrongfully accused have never been exonerated!
If I was to tell each of my awful encounters with the same sex, this would be a book - I 've experienced both physical & mental abuse from women who I've trusted, as well as extreme cases of manipulation that involved them wanting me to outright lie to help them with their personal issues to cover their wrong doings- funny thing, in the two situations involving their husband's - the men were the most honest and wanted to deal with the issues sensibly and resolve them with the best possible outcome for the family.
With regards to (
and I know equal pay, opportunity at work was not brought up but I just have to) workplace treatment- the men in my long-term employers treated me with the utmost respect, giving me fair opportunities allowing me to promote equally regardless of my sex.
In the most masculine and aggressive environment
the gym- to my recollection, one incident with a man - and dozens with women.
To conclude- women have left me wondering what went wrong? I believe women are our own worst enemies- aside from the true stories that women go through all over the world- I think we have it pretty good in th Western countries but turning it pretty bad for ourselves.
