Not All Men Are Like That?

Our aggression doesn't have to manifest itself in overtly violent ways, for example: when men "mansplain" men are being "like that".
So I'm guessing you've never heard a woman do basically the same thing, either to another woman or to a man in an area that is stereotypically for women.
And let's keep things in perspective. Being a prick isn't the same thing as being aggressive. I'd much rather deal with a know-it-all than someone who poses an actual risk to my security and safety. Its also better than being passive aggressive, which leaves us open to be vulnerable when we are blindsided by passive fallout of soneone else.

I have had several boyfriends.
All sweet and kind to me...but they have always dumped me, probably for not liking my over-romanticized vision of love.

This restless demonization of men is something outside of space and time...imho

I mean ...I find men's interests like soccer or baseball really eww.... but they are ok as for the rest :p

It is also true that women from Mediterranean countries tend to like the figure of the dominant man...it can be a cultural or an anthropological thing...or both intertwined.

No Bob. :)
You obviously took no notice of the many women who thought, said or wrote that 'Not all men are like that'.

To accuse all men of sexism is it's own special brand of bigotry.

Robbers? Not all men..........
Fraudsters? Not all men....
Bigots? Not all men......
Violence? Not all men.....

You see? You cannot criticise half of the human race over any one bad thing. It's a special kind of bigoted injustice, defamation, libel and slander, all in one.
Not all men are robbers does not distract from the fact that the majority of robbers are me
Not all men are fraudsters does not distract from the fact that the majority of those imprisoned for fraud are men
Not all men are bigots..I am pretty sure most of them are, I'll get into that later
Not all men are violent does not distract that our culture of violence was created by men, that men are responsible for most of the violence committed against both men and women.

I might be very wrong in this, but to me it almost sound like you hate men?

So not all men are like that.

One thing about men each and every one is unique... Just like every other man.
I am not talking about biological sex but a gender construct "what a man is" "what masculinity is" , I know not all biological males are like that, but if a male is socialized to be "macho" or "masculine" as if those things define what being male is about then they are "like that".

Nothing here but conjecture.

Except your first sentence. I had no idea that you and I shared a nondual worldview. :)

Nor am I.

And if a male isn't socialised to to be the epitome of early 1900s manhood then he will (most probably) not be like that and believe me many men aren't like that.

In my experience very few men are like the stereotype.

Speaking of violence.. I have grown up with 2 sisters who have always fought very violently over the stupidest things like clothes and guys.

Womansplaing isn't a thing, blacksplaining isn't a thing, gaysplaining is a thing, transgenderslaining isn't a thing...
That's cuz it's called "femsplaining".
(It's a syllable related thing.)

Reminds me of the age old question....
If a man speaks in a forest, & his wife
isn't there to hear it, is he still wrong?
