langurmonkey: It just whenever I hear, society is doing this or that to women, I'm going to assume the person saying this is a crazy feminist who sees evil everywhere. Today, society is on their side.
Crosmando: No, I just think that society is discriminative of people who are introverted, don't like socializing, and like spending their own time by themselves, with computer activities, reading etc. I was just pointing out that it's far easier to be like that as a guy, because there's an all-encompassing social image nowadays that females have to be loud-talking socialites with a bazillion friends on Facebook, for guys the discrimination for being introspective is still there, but less so than females.
I'm not sure were you got that feminist idea, I'm far for that, I was in a thread the other day where almost all of my posts got downrepped mercilessly for not being politically correct.
I agree that society looks down on(sometimes attacks)all introverted people who don't like socializing and like spending their own time by themselves. And yeah, it is more accepted to be a loner guy than a loner woman. But that is because of the nature of women. I believe, that women have a stronger need to socialize with other people compared to men. If you put a man and a woman in prison cells that force them to be alone for 24 hours everyday. I bet, the female will go insane, first. So when a women is living like a hermit, it is only natural to think, she has no choice and then people will look down on her even more than they look down on male hermits. A long time ago, women had to survive by not being ignored...by being well known by everyone so that they can find good men to protect them, hunt for them, build house for them etc. Back then, women weren't able to survive by themselves because of men limiting their freedom and their lack of upper body strength. Back then, a man could rise up with the sword, the axe and the spear. A woman could only rise up by being social...
