I think you are right. But a large part of that comes from men's original insult at the way their mothers did not pay enough attention to them for whatever reasons, which translates into adult mysogyny, OR experiencing a broken-heart early in life which chafes them for life, and causes them to lack respect for ALL women just because ONE woman supposedly "done them wrong". That is THEIR problem though, and THEY have to solve it. Black women can't do that FOR them. We can only facilitate, and be supportive. That is what Iyanla Vanzant's Spirit of a Man is all about.

Isn't it funny though, that when women get broken-hearted, and then are very guarded in dealing w/ future men, she is accused of being bitter, but when men do the same thing in the form of "hittin' it and leaving" or copping a "women ain't shit" attitude, THEY are just being "hard", or men. There is something INHERENTLY WRONG with the cultural acceptance of that which exists at this time.
