Topic: Why men sometimes say mean things | |
---|---|
Mars? Venus? Perhaps, but it's usually much more simplistic than that. We (men) are taught at an early age to not show weaknesses, so instead we hide them. So when we get hurt we counteract that emotion by showing strength, i.e. anger. A real man never takes that anger to physical extremes (toward a woman or anyone) but that's why we say those hateful things....because we are protecting ourselves and our feelings. Does this make sense to anyone on a Sunday night? Exactly. It's a defense mechanism. It's also a means to put a point across when we're given a bunch of malarkey to deal with as well. Women do it too for the very same reason, as a defense mechanism. He calls her a b!itch. She calls him an azzhole. (or whatever words you want to insert) Both are doing it as a means to defend themselves from the hurt that was inflicted from the other person. Right? Are those two guys on your photo? |

So, since it is not okay to beat up a woman with your fists, you beat her down with harsh words? Whether you are male or female, it's still a choice, |

Some people do it before they realize they're doing it.. It takes practice to not react.. With some it's insecurity... Loads of reasons why.. Not so different from a physical abuser you are right but if it's not too harsh which is what I believe Peccy meant then it's just a harsh reaction not an abusive one... I learned to curb my tongue a long time ago but pushed to far and I can slash... |

Although, it is fun to read people arguing on an internet forum. Being different isn't enough; someone always has to be right. |

LOL true but this is how I see things and if someone can prove me wrong, I'll concede graciously.
