If a man is writing a post to complain about women, avoid these men. My guess is they are not showing respect themselves to the women.
Do they stand up when a woman walks in the room?
Do they take off their hat in the presence of a woman?
Do they pull out the chair for the woman?
Do they speak respectfully all the time to the woman?
Do they treat their mother-in-law with respect?
Do they prefer their wife over their mothers?
Do they bless their wives with affection even during a disagreement?
Do they speak well of their own wives when the wife is not around to hear?
Do they foster respect for the wife in front of the children?
I could make this list longer, but my guess is that the man who complains about his wife is not following the scriptural mandate to treat his wife with tenderness as the weaker vessel, protecting her from those who are disrespectful including their children.
1 Peter 3:7 "You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered."
Gentlemen, if you are doing all these things, acting with great kindness to your wife then this is not for you, but if you fail in any one of these things you need to pray to become the man God told you to be for the sake of your wife.
Women respond well to this kind of love!
