Comment on violent men

A study shows that men take rejection a lot harder than women.

Once a woman is rejected, the first feeling she feels is upset and unwanted. Then later she might feel anger and rage.

Once a man is rejected, the first feeling he feels is anger and rage. Followed by a sense of frustration and wants to get revenge.

It's also proven, that a man who has been rejected is 20 times more likely to begin stalking the woman/man who rejected him.

Sidenote: I just want to say that I believe this study. I never really believed that people could be so butt hurt over being rejected. But about 3 months ago, a guy and me were chatting via internet and phone. But after two weeks of talking, I lost interest in him. I sent him a text telling him that I really didn't feel a spark between us, and wished him good luck. (trust me, I was totally nice and not rude when I told him) He texted me back with of course name calling. I ended up blocking his number. And then, a few days later a random number texted me. Telling me my full name, address, where I worked, what car I drove.. etc. This person would not give me their name, but I knew who it was the way he texted. He threatened to show up at my job and my house. I ended up blocking that number as well and contacted my phone company to change my number. It was very scary. - Confident Women Of Size 7.7.13

"It is scary, but it is indicative of a condition of mind set on a course of emotional responses seeped in the notion of entitlement. It is the best I can do. I've seen this in men. In myself I've run through those emotions of hurt, anger and rage, and doubt and a numbing fear that feels like importance does not live within me.

I don't know if it is true men are worse, but rejection projects into every aspect of one's being until something is learned. Now the men who stalk, beat, or kill women I cannot relate to but understand in the context of ceremony when some of these men have sat within my sacred circles. The propensity to beat the hell out of a woman, or the sense of being personally diminished by a women's decision to leave has roots in the ugliest of elements I've found: no sense of self. It is like they are ghosts, and the dark emotions cloth the wretched feeling that accompanies them day in day out." - Gregory E. Woods 7.10.13
