A Myth. Created To Control.
Male Bashing, is not a real ideology! It’s not actual, it does not exist! In order to understand why, you need to first understand the definition of male bashing. Oh, and Yes, I am a man, a B.L.A.C.K Man.
Male Bashing Definition: [Truncated]
…perceived as discrimination against or unfair criticism of men Oxford
…a great deal of resentment towards men…To insult male Urban Dictionary
Hilarious! The undertone of both definitions, unwritten, is Women. Women who are perceived as discriminating a man, or criticizing a man, resenting him, and insulting him is what the Oxford dictionary and Urban dictionary cite as male bashing. It’s laughable!
Male Bashing: …Women Having A Voice; Their Truth About Their Experience TheBLACKMedia
Women, for centuries have been considered the lesser sex. In Amerikkka Women’s Rights is an extremely slow build having to be granted, while Men [white men in particular] simply exist with them. The Women’s Rights movement took place from about 1848 to present day continuing as an uphill battle for equality. For decades [and presently] Women were raped, abused, mistreated, controlled, captured, and seen as weak by their male counterparts enduring unfair criticism, sexual advances, actual discrimination, resentment, and insults spewed by men. The idea that women who are vocal about the wrong doings of men in response to how they’ve been treated is considered male bashing, is an absurd theory used to further control the female species and women are falling for it!
In 2010 when Tyler Perry made into a movie, American playwright; Ntozake Shange’s For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide / When the Rainbow Is Enuf, he came under fire. Michael Ealy’s character Beau, a vet suffering from the effects of the war was considered, by critics and male movie goers as furthering the male bashing machine. During the film which was shortened to simply; For Colored Girls the male lead characters were cheating, lying, abusive, rapist, and disease ridden, which the male population took as an attack to their character, aka male bashing. Ha!
Even though Michael Ealy responded against that seeming consensus stating; “I think that if you say this movie is male bashing, you’re not looking at the bigger picture…And if you’re a man who is handling your business then you know this doesn’t apply to you. This isn’t a film that showcases men; this is a film that showcases the triumph of our women.” in Essence Magazine. It appears whenever women tell their stories, which often deal with their awful experience with men, the large majority of men consider it, male bashing. Why is that? Is it because they see themselves in the truths of the male characters in film and television? Is it because watching their secrets live in action may out them? As Michael said, if you’re handling your business, then it doesn’t apply to you.
Since when is telling your experience with men considered male bashing? Is it only bashing when you tell your story of abuse, hurt, pain, and sorrow brought on by a man? As if the hundreds of films, write ups, television shows, comics, etc. don’t typically show men, to this day, as the saviors while women are still portrayed and seen as weaker?
Now, I know what you’re thinking; “but there are good men out here”, and as a good — a great man, I agree! However detailing accounts of multiple experiences you’ve had with men does not equate bashing, which is what Oxford, the urban dictionary, and kats on the street want you to believe. Male bashing simply does not exist!
For example, I have a mole on my left finger. The mole is on my index finger, and it grew bigger as I grew older, I hate it! The latter is an example of something that happened to me, am I bashing moles because I’m telling you my story and how I hate my mole? A woman coming to you telling you about her ex-husband calling him a dead beat father because he’s always at the club and never with his children. She hates him for that, and considers him useless. Is she male bashing detailing her accounts with her ex? Or is she simply sharing her experience?
If male bashing is real, then so is female bashing right? If the latter is true, then isn’t what we are actually saying is; Men and Women, as human beings, share the good and bad times they’ve had with each other?
If so, why does the term; male bashing, exist? It exists as a way to further control the female mind when it comes to men. Women believe male bashing is a real thing, but seldom believe they deserve proper respect. Women make excuses for male behavior largely based in what men want them to believe. If a woman hates their boyfriend going to the strip club, a man will convince his woman by using what most men know is a tool of acceptance on a global scale. ..it’s just a guy thing.
Using these tools men have found a way to convince women to further defend improper male behavior by playing the victim when they’ve done something wrong by exclaiming; male bashing. Men use their idea of working hard as a way to explain their lack of respect for women, yet women who carry babies, whose bodies change, who work while pregnant, deal with monthly periods, give birth, take care of the children, head back to work after birth, cook, clean, wash dishes, gain weight because of it, while trying to stay sexy for their man, give oral sex because he demands it, and in their tired stupor find a way to fake an orgasm to make a man feel good, and more seldom complain about their heavy load.
The fact is, Men, in a traditional sense, simply don’t have the same experience, but the second a woman gets fed up and takes to her friends, the hair salon, or nail salon to vent her frustrations she’s male bashing: a divisive term used to aid women to feel bad about speaking out against the unacceptable behavior of a man.
The idea that feminist male bash as a way to reverse the degradation women faced for hundreds of years is another absurd tactic. Feminist do not exist as one being, but as a collection of women gathered for one goal, equality. To argue that male bashing started due to the uprise of feminism is ridiculous! That’s like saying, men have picked on you your whole life, and now you’re picking on us, as if men have stopped!
If you’ve reached this point of the article, thank you for reading. Understand my point, the main reason for writing this article, the simple notion: male bashing, is not real, it doesn’t exists because talking badly about bad men or women is not a specific targeted attack on one gender. It is a human experience that happens when human beings disclose information that negatively effected them.
In short, we all bash each other…women are only now able to do so without being stoned.

Ahhhh, misguided youth at its finest. Somebody tell him that women are better. Mrs. Obama doesn’t seem to be as submissive as this guy thinks.
Bull. spend 6 months with my exwife. Admitted in marriage counselling she was whispering things at me in my sleep, to see if she could drive me to suicide, just to see if it was possible, she also readily admitted this during our divorce proceedings. There are many many ways men can be bashed. feminaziism is in fact a real thing.
I made 2 attempts, and am still in therapy to this day…
I feel a need to help women get into leadership positions and various industries. So please take these comments of mine positively. I think that if diversity is why we want more women leaders as construction workers or in anything we must not make the mistake I think you and so many others are making. The mistake is that they actually build the case for female supremacy because they list a pile of female traits that make them good leaders and employees while not saying anything about male traits that make males good leaders and employees also.
for example you wrote women are better communicators and better problem solvers than men. That needs to be balanced off by listing some traits that men have more of than women. You didn’t do that. This levees the readers to think women are better suited for construction than men. Therefor the construction industry should endeavor to hire more women. better still if it were possible hire only women because you are identifying males as the weak link both as leaders and employees.
How unlikely is that since evolution is based on the premise that whatever does the most of something would develop the best traits for doing that something. For example Carnivores eat meat so they must have better traits for hunting than herbivores who eat plants so they don’t have to hunt.
Women are better caregivers than men because they have done the most childcare thus they have evolved better traits for child care than men. Since men have done almost all of the construction that has been done down through the pages of history therefor males should have evolved better traits for construction than women. Yet your blog and many others claim women have better traits for construction than men who have done a lot more of it over a longer period of time yet you wrote “there are many ways women are even better qualified for both trade and executive positions than men”. This says women are better qualified in many ways to do what the male gender has done a lot more of and over a longer period of time yet women have evolved better traits for construction even though they have done a lot less of it over a lot less time.
If this is true then this disproves evolution and supports creationism. You also contradict yourself when in one place you wrote “They have proven time and again that they are just as capable in all industries as men are, and construction is no exception” Then a few sentences latter you wrote . there are many ways women are even better qualified for both trade and executive positions than men. So which is it? Women are just as good as men or women are even better than men?
Now here’s my suggestion how better not to intimidate men and encourage men to get more women both as leaders and employees into construction.
Since has confirmed that both women and men have some unique traits that the other doesn’t have. This means that women are stronger where men are weaker and men are stronger where women are weaker therefor industries should strive to have an equal amount of each gender both in leadership and as employees. Since at the present time there is a huge imbalance both in leadership and employees therefor there should be an effort to hire more women and more leaders. The closer we can get to a balance between the two genders the best possible situation will be achieved because the strengths of each gender will compensate for the weaknesses in the other and that is why we at the present time should be striving to create diversity.
Said this way does not bash the males while praising women and encourages male supporters to promote more women while being careful not to promote inferior women or inferior men for the sake of diversity. Therefore the goal should be to strive for parity knowing when near parity is achieved the strengths of each gender will compensate for the weaknesses in the other.
Lets hear it for America a Parity Nation.
