As a man, I am perpetually humbled and inspired by the awesomeness and sheer strength that is "woman."
It is simply beyond my ability to comprehend any man who does not admire, respect, and cherish the amazing capacity for greatness women exhibit without fanfare or complaint, on a daily basis.
Just for a second, if you can, forget about common foibles and behaviors (for these do not define women, they define human beings), and look at how women actually live, the barriers they face every day of their lives.
Consider the mountain of BS women endure in this world of male-centric cultures, and how women are, as a matter of course, "second-class" to men in pretty much every aspect of life. And then ask yourself, men, if you could endure such treatment for even a single day, let alone an entire lifetime.
I won't pander by apologizing for men and the terrible record we have in treating women.
Let me just say, instead - there are a lot of men out here who FINALLY understand, even if only rudimentally, how strong and wonderful women truly are, and though we will never truly know your burden, we wish to do what we can to lighten it - and we are standing with women against the STUPID and IMMATURE Republican "men," who are so filled with illogical and irrational hatred of you.
This embarrassing and viscious GOP war against women is nothing more than a rabid hatefest towards women peddled as religiously-inspired morality, despite there being nothing moral whatsoever about it. And while I can understand the mechanics which cause the general misogyny women constantly suffer, I will never understand this determined, vehement hatred Republicans feel towards women.
How is it possible such hate can exist to be packaged and legitimized and sanitized and ultimately institutionalized by these disgusting Republican shitheads? I sure don't know.
But I'll never accept it, and I'll never tolerate it, and I'll battle it the rest of my life...because I LOVE women.
