Fancy yourself as an agony aunt? Add your answer to this question! A
reader, anonymous, writes (31 October 2010): Real men respect women and respect is basically not making a woman do something she doesnt wanna do in a sexual context. Whats going on? Is this a fantasy role play?
A
reader, anonymous, writes (31 October 2010): Um, I don't...not even in roleplay. A little S&M maybe. Not sure what you mean here.

 I know this is troll bait, or else someone posting at random in a bad mood, but I'm gonna be a sucker this once.
If it's housework you're worried about... Men have labored, fought, and died since the beginning of civilization for the women and children under their protection. Agriculture, construction, and war are just three fields I can think of off the top of my head where even today it's primarily men putting in long hours to provide for others in jobs far more demanding of time and physical effor tthan any nine-to-five desk job. Just who is the slave in those relationships?
And yet, civilized men still treat women extremely well for no other reason than that they lack a Y chromosome. If you want to complain about your indivual situation, that's one thing, but trying to demonize all men as mistreating all women demonstrates a gross misunderstanding of history.
If it's just anger at being treated badly by a boyfriend, well, you chose to date him. There are better guys out there, and you have my sympathy until you make the fully-informed decision to date a misogynist (in other words, you get a grace period while you find out what he's really like). After that, like any adult, you have to be responsible for your own choices.
Finally, a word of advice - it's best not to bite the hand that feeds. If you seek the aid or attention of males in the future, best keep these attitudes under control.

 Do they ?....Where do you live ?
For some reason I think you are just talking about interpersonal relationships. Not about social plagues like
human trafficking, or child prostitutes.
If it is so, then you are just generalizing what happens in your own life and you take for granted that it happens, or can happen, in every woman's life.
It is not true.
People treats you the way you teach them to treat you. If you tip toe around your male "masters " and wait on them hands and feet, because you think this is the way life goes.... then they'll be happy to prove you right !

You know what's sad? I'm the typically nice guy who believe in equality in relationship and would love to treat my lady like a princess. But you know what? I gets stuck in the friend zone with every woman I met while douchebags that thinks women are trash shows up and their presence somehow attracts women.
That should be the real question.

it is because man is more powerful that woman. and they make use of this power in a wrong way towards women. the latter an not do anything just supporting.
however we must never forget that there are certain woman who has fight for their right. they have fight against discrimination and domination. they were ordinary woman too just like you are but they have done it. they fight and they won. if they can do it, why not you? you must fight for you right!! it is also illegal for men to discriminate women. all you need is courage.

 are you in a relationship where your bf tells you that you must do everything and look after him? Is this about sex somehow? Either way, most men dont view women as slaves. My fiance and i share the housework equally. He helps cook, cleans etc, refuses to let me mow as he views that as mans work.. And sexually would never make me do anything i didnt want to. If you're being treated like a slave, leave the guy! He's not worth it

 It depends on the man. Don't make it sound like EVERY man thinks of women as slaves. The men from my life (father, boyfriend, cousins, friends, uncles) are the most caring, loving and respectful men on Earth. You just need to find the right one. A woman is a sensitive being and can be easily disturbed by violent acts, that's why they need a man to treat them like "flowers" (that's what my dad says at least).
Mistreating a woman is an obvious sign of weakness and cowardness, because men should pick on someone of their size, not a woman (or a child), who's known to be delicate.
If you're one of the woman who's being in the situation of being treated as a slave (sexual or any kind), go seek for help so you can get away from this situation.
Best wishes!

 They do? I was born and brought up in Thailand and now live in India. Neither are countries with particularly enlightened views on women but I'd certainly not say men think of woman as 'slaves'. There will obviously be exceptions from time to time - men who are sexist and so on - but I don't think it's particularly common in most civilised places.
Now the whole Domination sex scene...that's a whole different story and I don't think thats what you were on about.

they think they are better than woman. i hav experienced boyfriends who has mistreated me in that way. they hav it in their heads that women do the washing up, keeping the house clean. its just stuck in their head that tradition should be past on when its not right. we are all equals and we should be valued as a person.ive learnt to not let a man devalue me. they dont deserve you if they dont appreciate you for you.They dont realise what they hav til its gone.

 Ignorance is the reason why some people think themselves superior. It is why a man may mistreat a woman, it is why a white person may look down upon a black person, it is why a Christian may despise homosexuals. Ignorance. Please realize that not all men and women are ignorant. Not all men think lowly of women. I myself grew up as the only boy in my family. Would I mistreat a woman? There are times where I am afraid that I might but, when it comes down to it, I am too afraid. Not afraid of the person. I am afraid of what I might think of myself with everything that I have ever grown up with, all that I have ever seen and done, I would loathe myself. I have done that once and I shall not do it again.
Not all men think of women as slaves. The same could be asked about women, why do women see men as simpleton creatures with little understanding of the world? We all have our faults and if the men you meet share the same ignorance, perhaps you should seek to broaden your search for someone who will love you and treat you like a queen. You know it is far from impossible.
I hope that helps.

 Sex slaves? Human trafficking? Slavery was abolished in the 1800s..I'm sure if it is going on in modern times it's very illegal.
