I came across this funny posting at York University yesterday. I thought some of you would get a kick out of it.
'Women: stop ignoring and mistreating young men
Some ways in which young men are mistreated:
Most women will go out with men who are older than they are but will not normally go out with men who are younger. This results in many young men being unable to find a girlfriend. For example, if 30 percent of women aged 19-23 have a boyfriend who is over age 23 and if very few women over age 23 have a boyfriend who is age 23 or under, then this will result in close to 30 persecnt of men age 18-23 not haveing a girlfriend.
Women don't usually make an effort to talk to men, so most men are forced to make the effort and when they do they are most often met with rejection, rudeness and indifference, especially in places intended for meeting the opposite sex such as clubs, bars and online dating sites.
Women don't usually give feedback or accurately communicate their preferences so young men often don't know what they're doing 'wrong' or why women don't seem interested in them.
Young men are often given the message that women are disadvantaged or have 'not yet reached equality' even though young men in Canada have on average a lower quality of life than young women. Arguments of female inequality either rely on situations in other countries or previous centuries that are not directly relevant to people in Canada today or focus on issues that superficially suggest female inequality or disadvantage such as a lower average salary or fewer MPs in parliament while ignoring issues that suggest male inequality or disadvantage such as lower university enrolment or higher suicide rate.
Most women make no effort to ensure that men are treated fairly or to ensure that young men have opportunities to meet and talk to young women. '
... the guy who wrote this cris de coeur has alot to learn about women. Women want men to display confidence, and that's especially true of young women who are not sure how to proceed and need a little direction as they explore their sexuality. It's such a shame that youth is still being wasted on the young.
