Girls, is it wrong for guys and specifically me in my case to feel emasculated?

Yesterday I went to wrestling practice for the first time this year as a junior and I have wrestled every year of high school. A freshman girl who has never wrestled before decided to try wrestling this year and showed up for practice. I ended up having to wrestle her and she was the first girl I ever wrestled as few girls are in the 140lb weight class. She dominated the match and pinned me. She was so much stronger than me even though 2 years younger. She then kneeled over me before getting up flexed and grunted. The 2 female wrestling managers laughed at me the whole time was getting pinned. I feel so emasculated like that freshman girl is more of a man than me and no girl would ever want to be with me. I think girls are equal to men and can do anything a guy can do yet I still feel completely emasculated. Why do I feel this way and should I feel this way.

You feel that way because societies standards about men is that if your not stronger than a female than your weak. That maybe true to some degree. However, that doesn't make you less. It just means you have to work hard to get stronger. I find it messed up that they wanted to mock and laugh at you. Sure it may seemed funny for a while. But when it hurts others feelings deliberately, that's horrible. But, you got to admit. She took you down, and you can only give her respect. However, don't try to win others respect. Just work hard to be the best you can be for yourself. I believe you can do it if you really wanted to. So cheer up. What matters is that you don't give up.
