Over the ages, women have fought endlessly to gain their equal rights and/or treatment. In short, they wanted to be treated fairly, equally and justly.
And in this modern world, they ARE treated more equally to men. They are given more rights, more privileges, more freedom. You can see many, MANY women nowadays, having super high position jobs, luxurious homes, big titles, and this is all due to their own hardwork. But you have to remember, they are what they are today, because of the past events, where women used to fight for the rights.
An example would be the 1700s, where women fought hard for the right to vote and participate in government and law making.
Before all of this, in the past, women were, as you can guess, treated very poorly. Having little right to do anything. Pretty much, they were forced to stay at home, raise the children, prepare the meals, do laundry, clean the house, do the shopping and much more. As shameful as it sounds, men were much more cruel to them back then. The women were treated almost like slaves in their own homes. The only time when they possibly could be close, would be when they were about to make children. Women feared men, and so did not try to get close to them, unless in love, but that love would later turn to fear anyway.
The world was pretty much split into two, the males and females. But of course, that is all in the past now. Women today, are generally much more comfortable around men. Some women prefer to be around more men, because they find their company much more relaxing or enjoyable. When this happens, they should know the risks.
The risks that they are likely to face-
__________________________________
1) Among men, you will likely be treated more like a man. To an extent at least. “One of the guys”.
2) You will be subjected to physical contact at times. Be it violence or otherwise.
3) Sexist jokes.

Should women actually face these problems when around their guy friends, I would like to say, please, don’t get offended. You chose to be around men, and you should learn to handle it like one or at least calmly if you wish to continue to hang around with men. If not, please, fuck off and join your girl friends.
The reason why I’m blogging about this issue, is because of a little incident that happened while I was playing an online mmo.
I have a friend, she’s a girl, she hangs out with a lot of guys, and girls. But in game, she’s usually around guys, since, well, guys love to game.
Anyway, me and my friends(guys) have a habit of swearing as a joke. Nothing super offensive, just stuff like “naohia”, “nabeh” and so on. We find it entertaining enough, so we stick with it.
So I was talking to my friend(the girl) and I mentioned “naohia”, and she was like “Don’t swear at girls”, “Weak men swear at girls” and I was thinking like, “Bitch please….”
That really got me, I was like, she KNOWS I like to swear, she KNOWS how we(guys) say that word all the time, but what the fuck, she’s COMPLANING about it NOW?!?! I mean like, so it’s okay for you GIRLS, to swear at us, but we’re not allowed to do so? True, generally girls don’t swear as much as guys, but it happens. So, where’s the equality in that? Men lowered their pride, though false pride, to suck it up and treat women more fairly, and this is what we get? We don’t force you to hang out with us. Really, we don’t. But should you(the girl) choose to hang out with us, you can’t expect us to change our ways, just for YOU(the female friend) ALONE, and you know what, YOU, the WOMEN, actually fought long and hard JUST to be treated more equally!!! We’re men, we don’t change that easily. I mean just look, it took centuries for women to FINALLY get their equal treatment.
Seriously, it may not be showing now, but I feel that now that women are being treated more equally, they’re starting to contradict themselves. Really. It’s like, we TRY to treat them more equally, we try to do stuff(our stuff) with them, socialize, stuff, whatever with them, but all of a sudden, they think it’s too “manly” for them. It’s not “girlish” enough. It’s “weak” for men to treat women like that. My point is, do women actually want us to treat them unfairly again? We’re trying our best not to, but they’re just never happy, are they?
