I have noticed the generalizations too, maybe even more in real life. For a long time after I first got my apartment with my kids 3-4 nights a week everywhere we went people would ask "Mom's night out?" or something to that effect. Even when my twins were babies I'd take them out in the stroller and someone would always have to make the comment "Twins? Oh, their poor mom." Usually while she was at lunch with friends, getting her nails done, or something else. And she has t-shirts with a few of the terms mentioned above, which she wears proudly. I just keep doing what I do...trying to be the best dad possible and ignore what others might think. SDMktg´s last blog post..Sports Licensing and Tailgate Show Day 1

It's sad but we generalize all the time. Take a child who has misbehaved, for example. Many times the parent will say, you are a bad boy/girl, when what they should, and actually mean is, their behavior is bad. When a relationship splits up, there is a grieving process, shock, shame, denial, anger, depression, acceptance. I would hate to think that these women that speak about men this way, actually believe what they are saying. I would hope that they are in the anger stage, and will learn to move on into forgiveness, rather than to hold onto the anger for dear life, as a means of protection. ~Best Wishes~ searchingwithin´s last blog post..Dare To Meet the Most Wonderful Person You Will Ever Know…Yourself

SMS – that sucks! Generalizations are the root of all blogging evil. (I don’t know if that’s really true, but I like how it sounds)

As for getting laid – I certainly need to! And that’s not my “little head” talking. It’s my entire being…

DH: No, I don't know that single dad I mentioned personally. Yes, that's why his words hurt: I felt like he was making these false, rash generalizations about me. But we worked it out... even if his post is still live (!). Lance's comment is hilarious! (Although I was sure he was going to add: "You all just need to get laid.") single mom seeking´s last blog post..I’m a sucker for single dad movies. Are you?

Interesting how easy it is forget how words and generalizations hurt. THank you for sharing this. It's a pleasure to see how simple thoughts can affect many. Attainingme´s last blog post..To marry

I prefer whoop ass!! Men are so apologetic about being different from women. Women criticize us for so many things that make us men and then lump us into 2 general categories: Asshole-Shit-heads & Santa Clause. However, I just read a blog post about how a woman loved having her arms pinned down and taken with male gusto during a hook up! Uh... mixed messages? Let men be men please.
