Correct me if I am wrong on this....

When something unfortunate happens to a female/woman, it automatically illicits sympathy and support. Now when something unfortunate happens to a male/man, it is quite often view as a laughing matter/comedy

That depends on who you're asking this to. Some people feel that way because mainly they are sexist but there's alot who'd give emotional support to a man and laugh at a woman.

For me it depends on the situation and who it's happening to as far as their character. If I deem said person deserve such unfortunate thing. I'd laugh in a minute for an example but really it depends on the situation and person for which kind of reaction will most likely transpire.

Overall regardless of gender and at the same time gender plays NO part in the for you, am I right?

And like you just said, it all DEPENDS on the situation and the person including his/her character as well as actions, yes?

Cool and I thought so. Very glad to hear that too. So in your dad's case from what I can tell, he just had a warped sense of humor, am I correct?

Well.... the media makes it appear so, and it does happen in some real cases. However....

Not always. I know that there are people who hate women, some who hate men. Hatred exists in all humans, regardless of gender, race or age.

Basically, even though it APPEARS to be one-sided, it isn't. The media only lets us see what it WANTS us to see.

Well, some like the special clubs for women shout for erasing gender inequality, and , I find , that they are the most prominent ones to shout if anything unfortunate happens to any woman
Men, as u said, don't get so much limelight on them in their tragic situations...............so, isn't it a gender inequality?
The media , too, always highlights the problems of women
Being a girl, I think, to erase gender inequalities in the true sense, we should not only shout for better oppurtunities and freedom for women, but also try to make them as strong and independent like men

Looking upon what happens here in my homeland, India, I say you are absolutely correct..............everyone here shows sympathy for a woman even after long time after the unfortunate situation
I find it comical, because if they stopped showing sympathy so much, the victim may have forgotten the situation by then

Overall HOWEVER: For women, support and sympathy. For men, often trivial and funny as well as apathy for them

Honestly I haven't personally come across a situation like that.

But it happens, yes. Only morons would encourage such behaviour.

If something bad happens to a person, it's just that. Something bad happened. You'd be a fool to react differently to the situation just because the person is male or female.

I've never really noticed such a thing.

I've only ever noticed differences in reaction based on circumstance, not gender.

You're not wrong. People make jokes about it as if the horrible things that happen to women couldn't happen to men. It can. I've been reading a lot of stories on the unfortunate incidents that happen to male/men, and they're usually true. I don't get why anyone would think it were a laughing matter. It's not a joke.

In the media too including TV series and movies especially in sitcoms and comedy movies. Overall unfortunate incidents can happen to ANYBODY and EVERYBODY
Mike88Al27 posted over a year ago

The only difference being is that a lot people just simply don't care/are just simply apathetic when unfortunate things happen to males/men

It depends on the situation. Most of the time I would not laugh, at either a guy or a girl.

However, if the guy is causing trouble - school, store, library, etc. and someone puts him in his place I would laugh. I have not had the experience of the girls acting up as badly as they guys - they usually listen when an adult tells them to settle down. But, if it got that far out of hand with a girl and had to be told off - then I would probably laugh.

Now of course you're not saying that girls misbehaving is funny and cute and overall are perfect as NOBODY is perfect
Mike88Al27 posted over a year ago

No, I was referring to them being told off if they are acting up - I would laugh at that - usually I prefer the Librarian (or person in authority) to do the telling off - and once that happens I laugh because there is peace once more.
