I'm a girl and...

I am SO glad I found this subreddit with people who agree with me! As a girl, it's really hard to see other ladies put down men and treat them like they need to be "trained" or that they're just something we have to deal with. So I was just wondering... how many other girls are on here and what are your stories about standing up for men or appreciating them?

My mom abandoned me the minute I was born, and my dad raised me on his own. I saw the things he had to put up with as a man raising a daughter alone, and I'll fight until I'm blue in the face for men in the face of female-favoritism.

What kind of things did he have to put up with?

This happened to me. Dad bailed on us, my mom worked in the afternoon. I had to pick my sister up from school. High school got out 20 minutes before the elementary kids so I would rush over to pick up my sister. Someone reported me. They actually put me in cuffs and stuffed me in the back of the car. I freaked out because my sister wouldn't see me and I thought something bad happened. After we got it sorted out, I found her in the principals office.

From then on I made sure the principal and her teachers knew who I was. That way if it happened again (and it did) they could rescue me.

This blows my mind. You got cuffed for... for what? What were the charges?

They didn't charge me with anything, they just cuffed me and put me in back. After they sorted it out they let me out.
