WomenCo.

His name is Dick. He's been on Dr. Phil, he has his own website www.menarebetterthanwomen.com , he is a self-proclaimed chauvinist, and his readers refer to women as "manholes". I had the opportunity to look through the comments to his blog entries and I gotta tell ya- I was very, very sick.
However- this is not the typical cry against patriarchy and sexism. No- this is a question to my WomenCo. lovelies:
Is Dick doing us a favor by exposing the reality that goes on behind some men's minds? While female empowerment has done incredible things for women like us, is the backlash and misogyny worse than it was in 1955? Should we REALLY be shocked that so many men are flocking to this website in droves? How can we be sure that not only men believe this, but that we ourselves don't secretly believe some of the the things he says?
Now, before I get a load of hate mail- ask yourself how many times you have heard those negative voices in your head "this isn't for women- you shouldn't be here- this is a man's world". Think of all the times we have secretly celebrated another woman's demise or judged another woman for her sexual choices, or the way she dressed or raised her children.
How far have we come; a long way, or do we have a long way to go within ourselves?

I tend to take these men with a boulder of salt.  It starts with one man who says things that are very exaggerated and shocking for the shock value.  He gets a few minutes of fame because he said things that were so shocking that everyone had to come and hear it.  Next follows the crowd of men who want to egg him on so that they can enjoy more of the show, which he is willing to go along with so that he can continue to be popular.  Such men have extremely low self-esteem and are willing to sell their souls for a little adulation from a crowd.  Occasionally, there have been one or two who performed stand-up acts during the 80s.  I don't worry about the mob mentality that they manage to stir up for a bit.  Most men do realize that such things are rather degrading to themselves, much less to women.  If a man really thinks that way about women, it'll come out without him having to say much, and he won't get very many women.  And men need us, whether they like to admit it or not.  They don't need us for just sex....if they really thought of us as "manholes", they have two hands, no waiting, and no bill for dinner.  And eventually the "validation" of the crowds cools off.  The men who were egging them on get tired of it, and a little disgusted themselves.  Then they're left to pick up the pieces and face the consequences.  No, they need us because we're women.  Most men have common sense, at the end of the day.  Most men aren't hurtful or wicked.  It can seem that way sometimes, when you're dealing with such issues as domestic violence and workplace problems.  We can get so focused on the negatives that we have to deal with that we lose sight of the positives.  Or we can be so hurt by some of the things that they say that we forget something else...the man who might have said something positive another time.  I don't really think that we have a movement of these men to worry about.  In actual fact, I find most of the men that I deal with in my life to be reasonable, and I have a few who are dear friends.  They are truly sweet, kind to me and treat me with dignity and respect.  We laugh and joke together, and they pick me up when I'm down.  I think we would do well not to validate men like this by paying attention to what they say at all.
