Though I do think that often men (myself included) can be guilty of "gaslighting", it's important to note that there are large communication differences between men and women. For example, "the average woman chalking up 20,000 words in a day - 13,000 more than the average man".-http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-419040/Women-talk-...
For some men, this might come across as being overly "emotional" or "needy" when in fact, it's just the way women are wired. Conversely, men are not wired to be as emotionally expressive as women. This means we "guys" come across as being more reserved or worse "listeners", when in fact it's not the "listening" we are bad at, it's the "sharing". This being said, there is no excuse for comments like "can't you do anything right?", -That's not being a "guy", that's being a "dick".
