Another Survey Reveals How Men And Women Think Differently About Men

Masculinity Surveys by corporate America (especially corporations selling products like alcoholic beverages) are often frivolous, and intended to be entertaining. This survey however, hints at a disturbing problem between men, women, and sports. According to the survey, women have more sinister expectations about men's behavior at sporting events. Not surprisingly, according to the survey, men's true actions do not fall in line with the female thoughts on the subject. Perhaps it is this engrained cynicism about men which allowed the "40 percent increase in domestic violence on Super Bowl Sunday" myth to take hold?

Disturbing

While I'm glad the male results of the survey vastly contradicted most of the female results, I doubt it will change the women's minds. It's been my experience that women who would make such insulting observations about male behavior are also inclined to believe they know men better than men know ourselves. A lot of people will read this survey and figure the women's views are probably closer to the mark.


This is why I am in no way optimistic about the impending male version of The View. How could we possibly expect any real, whole-hearted defense of men from a panel of male hosts who are under the duress of a society which has veritably elected male-bashing as one of its favorite past times? One-sided surveys such as this which put bad male behavior under a microscope and basically invite women to have "sinister" thoughts is proof positive that society digs its claws into men just for the fun of it, anymore. As if it weren't enough that men are sinisterly portrayed with regards to serious issues like violence and crime (a portrayal which veritably lands more of us in prison, more of us under police scrutiny, and more of us in fear of losing our jobs), society must go the extra mile by also delving into completely irrelevant matters such as this?


And just where, might I ask, is the survey about women and shopping?
