I believe a car for many is a testosterone amplifier.

The women I know can do everything a man can do including.... yes, but of the men I now, not many can do what women can do, including the natural ability to care about others, something men have to work at, if they care.

Fact: Women cannot operate lawn mowers.
Or is it a plot to get men to fill dishwashers and cut the grass?

I've met some - worked with and for at times. I suppose in recent times, such overt opinions or implications are probably much more implied or subtle - but I've certainly encountered it in my working life. I wouldn't say it's prevalent, mind. I've also known women who in current times have said they've encountered it from some, too.Charlieboy28":1np1sber said:you know it really gets my goat when people say in my experience as opposed to in my opinion, unless your experience is as a deity of course.silverclaws":1np1sber said:Oddly and from experience, it is the male that perpetuates the division between the genders, what I personally view as people desperately hanging on to the last vestiges of a dying attitude of superiority just because history has put men before women.

As for this superiority nonsense , in my experience based on living in a world where a large proportion of the population are men, I am yet to meet one who has actually said or truly believes that they are superior to women.
Personally, I'm not necessarily subscribing to feminism - and in fairness, the women I know that have mentioned this are hardly raging or simpering feminists, either.Charlieboy28":1np1sber said:I also find it quite sad that so called intelligent and enlightened men continue to subscribe to the outdated conspiracy theory that is feminism, one they most probably adopted to help get some action I must add, without giving any thought or reflection to what it actually is saying. In my experience it is men who spout this sort of nonsense who are actually closet misogynists.

Whilst it's probably not prevalent in modern office environments, where there's typically a more mixed proportion of the sexes, in other types of working environments, things are not so progressive / modern / liberal.
It does exist, political correctness may have driven it to the un-said, understated, passive-aggressive thing in some men - it's still out there, it's just far from lauded in modern, equitable, balanced working environments.
