A cluttered mess of thoughts composed mainly of social flaws and public criticism in an unoriginal format poorly disguised to be clever or witty.

Bitter much?
Nah, not bitter. Just honest. ;)
I find it a bit contradictory that you berate women for blaming men for their problems but then go on to blame women for many of men's problems. People are people: some selfish, some selfless, most a little of each. I know you are aware of your gross generalization but be wary. Our hearts are just as often senselessly broken. Not to mention the societal pressure to “have it all;” kids, a career and a great figure. Feminism is not about having it all, it’s about having an option where none existed before. Do some women take advantage? Sure. As do men. It’s not being a woman, it’s being human.
Yes, it IS human nature. But my point is that women tend to act on this nature more often than men.
However, I never berate women for blaming men for their problems. I simply point out that they cause these problems more often than not (again, generalizing). Also, I don't blame women for the problems men have. I do, however, point out the problems I have with women causing problems through their own social inadequacies and blaming it on the men in their lives.
Also, saying "Well, men do it too" does not justify the actions of women.
Even if the responsibilty was split 50/50 down the line, that in now way makes it excusable for one side to act a certain way simply because the opposition concurs.
I'm not trying to justify the acts of women like the ones you are talking about. I'm merely pointing out that it is not an issue of women but an issue of humanity. What I mean is that it's a "problem with people." I understand this is subjective so I mused over my objection. I'll be the first to admit most women are crazy in one way or another, including myself. But that doesn't give them the excuse to be selfish and hurtful. I'm certainly not, nor are any of my female friends. I can confidently say NONE of my female friends act in the manner of the women you discuss here. But that doesn't mean I've never known women who do. The only woman I hang out with presently that does this is the wife of my husband's best friend. I bring this up only because she is the only woman I have to hang out with whom I would not otherwise be friends. I feel very uncomfortable around her, not just because of the issue at hand but because of her personality in general. What I'm trying to say is maybe you just have to surround yourself with the right people. There are good ones out there.
