  • The Reason Why I Don't Trust Women

    Well, there is only one reason in which I learned women are not to be trusted, and unsurprisingly most of it spawns from the beast known as the Lifetime channel.

    When growing up, I was the only male in my family. In being the only male, I was always expected to do the work of the only guy, with no prior male figures to instruct me. (Of course, you may hear me refer to "Dad" in my posts, he is actually my best friend's father, whom I have known since I was in middle school, but has done so much for me that I consider him to be).

    In my impoverished family, we had only one TV for quite a while (I had to work my ass off to change that when we brought a PS1) so it was turned on to whatever I didn't want to watch.

    This means...yes, The Lifetime channel.

    You know, the channel whose programming is solely dedicated to increase paranoia in women of men while still conveying the message that they are superior to them in everything. Since this is the era before Bravo, its demographic was obviously post menopausal women and gay men, but enough with the jokes, I could honestly go on and on why I hate this channel.

     

    1) I saw a movie on this channel once when I was about 11 that absolutely mortified me. A woman and her husband had been together for a couple of years, and the wife really wanted a baby, but the husband turned her down, saying that he wasn't ready.  

    Right before they are about to have sex, the husband asks his trusted wife to get a condom. She says "sure". THE BITCH GETS A NEEDLE AND POKES HOLES IN THE CONDOM WHILE IT IS STILL IN THE PACKAGE WHILE HE ISN'T LOOKING. And sure enough about a month after, she is pregnant...

    And that is why I buy my own condoms, and no one else touches them except me.

    Because FUCK.

    THAT.

    SHIT.

    2) Most of the programming on Lifetime involves men being the aggressor. I can't tell you how many movies I've seen about ANOTHER abusive dad or boyfriend, ANOTHER woman being raped, ANOTHER woman being killed by a man, ANOTHER male child molester...I was initially drawn in to believing this, hoping I wouldn't be like one of these guys, but then over time, after so much of this bullshit, I became jaded. I as a young adolescent for some reason became aware that being strong-minded would most likely  put me over the edge of these "aggressors" that I rarely hear about anyway.  also, simply doing a marathon of the original Tomb Raider with no memory card kept me busy(I have done it, but it is FUCKING HARD, and don't get me started on Final Fantasy 7)

     

    3) because of this extensive programming that #2 put into my head, I was always apprehensive around women, simply because I didn't want them to know that I was one of those guys in all those movies I saw on Lifetime. This is a detriment, because I was always trying to be nice to women and that got me "nice guyed" and friend zoned more often than I should have been. Sure, I sort of made up for it in high school, but I was still convalescent from all that bullshit. It wasn't until well after high school that I fully recovered, but to this day I still think about how brainwashing that channel is to women, and hapless males who have the misfortune to watch ANYTHING on there, gay or straight.

     

    4) Talk shows. I can name ALL of them that I have seen in my female dominated household. Sally Jesse Raphael, Riki Lake, Jenny Jones, and Maury, just to name a few(Jerry Springer wasn't a talk show, it was a shitstorm). My point is that talk shows are the absolute worst thing a male could ever watch, because it conditioned you to think that talking things over on live television was the most effective way to deal with your problems. I also became jaded to this.

    Hmmmm.... here's a suggestion, why don't you actually DO something about your problem instead of talk about it? abusive boyfriend/husband, DROP HIS ASS. Cheating S.O.? DROP THEIR ASS.  Don't know if this guy is the guy that put the baby gravy in you and now you're stuck with a kid? STOP OPENING YOU LEGS AND BEING SUCH A FUCKING SLUT. OR GET AN ABORTION. 

    Story: One time I was watching Maury with my ever so loving family. They were doing paternity tests, as per maury's shtick. Maury came out and said: "And lilpimp mcjeezy, you are...NOT the father of Hobag Mcjenkins' baby."

    I was FUCKING ELATED. I got up and was shouting "YEAH YEAH THAT'S RIGHT HE'S NOT THE FATHER!"

    i WAS PRETTY MUCH THIS GUY. (Don't sneer at the embed, the vid is only 30 seconds and is crucial to my point, it doesn't get any better than this people)

    (that nigga got DOWN. KILLIN IT)

    After that I got slapped down by my mom who then said(you have to hear my imitation, its better than text) "Shut the hell up bwoy dat girl need to find dat baby's daddy!"

    (You have to understand, there is NEVER a victory for the guys, they are ALWAYS the dad. THAT is why I was excited, because after a while, I thought they were all rigged that the guy was the daddy, you know like a game show...a horrible, horrible game show) 

     

    If you just scrolled down I want to hit the highlights or rather the highlight, of why I don't trust women: THEY BLAME MEN FOR EVERYTHING. Then wonder why there are no worthwhile men when those men say fuck you and get a foreign woman or why men simply use women as sex objects and nothing more. It is because you watched the  Lifetime channel.

    I don't trust women because once you get infected, they travel into your head and take control of your brain, and then they travel into your eyestalks, get engorged on your body nutrients and then force you to move into areas with open sunglight, where a huge bird, mistaking your swollen eyestalks for worms, swoops down, plucks them (and your eyestalks with them), and ingests them, where they lay more eggs in the bird's gut and continue the cycle.


    Moral of the story: don't eat birdshit.

    It is ALL your fault.

  • AmorVomnia7

    I was silly... I trusted women even when I was fed all that same Lifetime shit. I did it because not trusting women was too damn risky in this society that shames any sort of criticism towards women (like the slap-down from your mom). So I had to trust women while also do everything in my power to not come off as one of the bad guys in a Lifetime movie... I had to trust women, even though I knew they could hit me and I could never hit back or even leave without being seen as a coward. A girlfriend could treat me bad, but I should still be satisfied because I would occasionally be able to have access to sex from them (and plus; I'd be a pussy if I couldn't handle the way they treat me). I swallowed that bullshit and it fucked me up emotionally and cognitively.

    These messages that we give the sexes are incredibly toxic.

    Good thing I never watch Lifetime.

  • ellasfizzystars

    Haha, I actually read it all and damn right!! In England we have a few chatshows but they aren't like america.
    Women are NOT TO BE TRUSTED. As a rule - freakin good rule. Of course there are exceptions (I hope I might be one - although considering my upbringing I doubt I'm as laid-back as I'd like to think). But women are evil. They manipulate and twist and blame everything on men. I don't get it! It's like they're scheming all the time, I've heard of the condom pricking thing, I mean really?
    Women in general are not good news, I suggest turning gay? Or stop watching chat shows. I promise we aren't all evil witches, and for the record, I'm not a "woman" or a "lady" I'm a "femalethingwithgirlyparts".
    This post made me chuckle (might have something to do with the wine too).
    Keep calm and watch our Olympics :) xx

    The best part "...It's like a horrible, horrible game show." I died laughing. And that guy was freaking ecstatic to not have kid. Wow. :D

  • thespaceinmybed

    Hahaha the lifetime channel, it's really horrible. I love the episode of Maury where the girl comes back for like the fourth time after 3 guys already were tested and found out that they are not the father, and each time Maury asks the chick if she is absolutely 100% sure this guy is the one... And then he isn't!! Then she starts bawling. It cracks me up.

    I have the opposite problem. I am eternally being dominated by abusive males. I leave them and they chase me. I end up with nowhere to turn except another abusive male. I do not like when women are in charge though. They have a nasty reaction to stress. A few break the mold, but overall, they will betray you again and again and again. She wants security. She is weaker usually and that means that she will have to cheat. I end up in all male fields a lot of times, and theonly way yo survive is to latch onto the older ones. They are a little calmer.
  • we_deny_everything

    Half of the movies on Lifetime are entertaining, and the rest are dumb self-pity fests.  You always know which kind after watching three minutes.  The good ones actually have a plot and character development, good guys and bad guys.

    Maury is in a class by himself.  Where does he find these extreme sluts??

    @QuantumStorm - I agree completely.

  • Doubledb

    Now that I think of it, I only ever saw two good movies on lifetime, both of which did not involve men. In one, a girl was raped. she did not speak. It was more about her dealing with the after-effects of the rape, but the guys lingered around, but were not central to the story. It was about her, not them. The second was a older daughter whose mom was a drunk and the daughter filed for custody of her brother and sister, I think it was called "Gracie's Choice". It was great. Though, now that I think about it, men were mostly absent from both stories. If they had been included, it might have turned out similar to the other ones.

    And yeah, ha ha, that guy was dancing up a joyous storm

  • DrummingMediocrity

    I fully believe many men are afraid of women's power, and in result react in all kinds of abusive ways, whether physical (direct) or less obvious.  This is a problem.  So many females are bitches, though I do think many of them were made that way.  But whose fault is that?  Certainly not the guy they just met, right.  We all need to direct our issues at the correct source.  Generalizing a similar source (i.e. a completely unrelated person of the same gender) will not help anybody out; be it a bitch who's been cheated on in the past, or a guy who's sick of putting up with bitches.

    All I can say is I tried to keep my mind open even after getting screwed over so many times.  So did my current boyfriend.  And now we're together, a perfect match, only possible because we BOTH kept our minds and hearts open.  I'd rather be hurt than untainted but hollow.

  • iamthebella

    Well... I'd say there's some truth to lifetime, but it is bad that its so one-sided... Focusing on just the faults of men. Women have plenty of faults too. There are absent mothers, abusive mothers, and abusive girlfriends too, I just think there's a bigger focus on males in the media. Males are less likely to report incidents of abuse because they don't want to look like a wuss, kind of like what @AmorVomnia7 said.

    That comment about the condom hole poking though... that was hilarious, but that goes for males too... Anyone is capable of that. I would even buy my own condoms for my own protection too! That's just me though.

  • mynameisblueskye

    My girl showed me a movie having to do with the Lifetime Channel. All the questions I'm askig is "is there any movie where the woman isn't having trouble? All this is doing is perpetuating the same stereotypes most of them cry foul on." The movie is actually alright, but this is the thought I had with most things I've heard abut this channel. Then again, you can at least give them dap for adding How I Met Your Mother and the funny Old Christine. Otherwise, you can't expect men to be positive about a woman's view on men with the Lifetime Channel.

    Meh. I say both sexes suck. Most of my friends are guys and all my close friends are guys. Girls fucked me over when I was younger by psychologically bullying me since I wasn't good looking, didn't dress well, was poor, and was a tomboy. I HATED guys when up until mid high school though. This was partly because my dad was physically and verbally abusive and obviously treated everyone else in my family like shit. Being as young as I was and pretty much sheltered from the rest of the world, I thought all guys were like my dad so I hated them, which makes the fact that I was a tomboy VERY ironic. I guess in my head I felt like I was like that in order to be equal or better than them. I didn't know of any strong willed females back then so I assumed girly = weak.

    And I never really watched tv and now I don't watch at all, so most of those talk shows you listed I have never heard of.

    i don't trust women either bro....once I start to trust one..they do fucked up shit that makes me realize that unless ur meeting their needs emotionally...and sometimes sexually..they really don't give a fuck about u...thats not the case with all women..but its the case for some...

    I've got a reason why I don't trust women. They aren't held accountable when they commit crimes or commit acts of violence. 

    Woman all the time do actions that would land justly land a man in prison for years, and go free. If a man does violence against his wife, is caught, he goes to prison, not so for woman. I know of two men who were in abusive relationships, both were run down in cars, and neither woman goes to jail. Instead, the people on line make jokes about it. Tonight I read of a woman who ran down her husband because he did not vote in the US election, and people joke about it and I will bet she does not get anything more than a slap on the wrists.

    Locally, a woman who lost custody of her kids, kidnaps them and flees to another country. She is caught, and guess what, she goes away free. If a man did that 100% of the time he goes to jail for a long time.

    That is why I don't trust women, they are free to commit violence against me and will go without any form of punishment. (and they know it)

    I wouldn't trust anyone who can do what ever they want to me with out legal repercussions; a woman, someone with diplomatic immunity etc. 

    The day I see woman getting the same punishment under the law as men, then I will trust them. Equality goes both ways.
