Written by a WOMAN.
The first argument she makes is EXACTLY the same one I made recently.

So my question is, are women also trained to hate men?
I believe the answer is yes, and here’s why.
We Were Told Society Owes us a Prince Charming/Hero: Wong says that men are taught that society owes them a hot girl. In the movies, media, comic books and video games, if the hero accomplishes his goals, he is awarded his favorite female. Women are looking around saying, “Hero? Where is the hero?” But, if you want to know why some women walk around bitterly disappointed and disillusioned with relationships, dating, and marriage, look no further than the same offending stream of media and fairy tales we are fed from birth about what romance and love look like. From Cinderella and romance novels to chick flicks and women’s magazines–the message is consistent and the story lines are mind numbingly, repetitive. No matter how bad things seem, eventually a prince on a white horse will come and save us. Even if the prince is Shrek. We’re conditioned to accept the ogre as well as long as he comes in a box we can stamp with true love’s label. Bad family life, complete with an evil step-mother? Ride off into the sunset with your savior. Single for the summer? You deserve Ryan Gosling, and if you wait long enough, he will come love you forever with the burning intensity that you’ve always felt entitled to–even if you have Alzheimer’s and don’t remember him. It’s crap (I love that movie, but it is crap). The problem, stated quite succinctly by Wong, is that all men consider themselves the hero of their own story, and if they are honest, consider themselves a hero just for getting through their days. How many women can be honest and admit that the truth of that statement pales in comparison to how much of a hero or martyr we think we are just by getting through our days, which in many cases, now include everything a man has to do, AND everything a woman is expected to do. No rest for the women, no strokes for the male ego for doing what you’re “supposed” to do. No one wins. Even if men do need to feel like a hero for getting out of bed every morning and going to work instead of masturbating all day in front of the computer, you’re not going to get much sympathy or support from the ladies these days for that line of thinking because that’s not how a hero acts damn it.
