The women I've heard say "all men are bastards/dogs/jerks" usually say
it because they are simply not being treated the way (or getting what)
they want/expect.
It seems to be more about how the woman expects to be treated opposed
to how the man is actually treating her.  "I deserve to be treated
better than that".

wrong, they are always right and that if things aren't going right it's
the man's fault.  It seems to be very common.
