So I'm (perhaps erroneously) assuming that a significant percentage of problem "WATM" commentary is coming from those quarters.

I think some males are SO used to the entire world being centered around them, that they feel insecure about women getting any attention for their own issues. And when men have similar issues, their complaints are valid. When women have them, it's "whinging".

Same ol, Same ol.
