it's all or nothing with men.

if they are with a woman who was awesome and she dies or leaves him, he is desperate to find another and doesn't take the time to evaluate. I have seen this happen,

and if he is with a total b*tch, he assumes all women are like that and hates on all of us.

there doesn't seem to be a happy median. women can do that crap too but are much more balanced in general. women will gripe about the men in their lives, don't get me wrong, but it is nowhere near as hostile and there are very few women who hate all men. if they do, it is usally due to real trauma, not just stuff like "she doesn't treat me like I'm a demigod"
