Why do girls feel like they're allowed to tell a man what they should do, but, men aren't?

It seems like women are allowed to tell men what they should do, while men aren't allowed to tell women what to do

I just got done answering a question about facial hair. I told her, women don't have a right to tell men what they should do with it, so, why should they. But when a man tells a woman what she should do with her body, we're not allowed to?

Dude, that's a really good question. I can see why that would be frustrating if you feel like women can tell men what to do, but men can't do the same with women. That definitely seems unfair.

I think part of it might come down to the fact that historically, men have had a lot more power and control over women's bodies and lives. There's been a long history of men trying to police and dictate what women can and can't do, which has led to a lot of pushback and the idea that women shouldn't have to listen to men's opinions on their own choices.

At the same time, I get why you might feel like it's a double standard if women think they can tell men what to do. It's not really fair for one gender to have that kind of authority over the other.

Personally, I think the ideal would be for everyone to respect each other's autonomy and freedom to make their own choices, regardless of gender. No one should be telling anyone else what to do with their own body or appearance.

But I can understand why that might not always feel like the case. It's a complex issue without any easy answers. All I can say is, try not to let it get you too worked up, bro. Focus on living your life the way you want, and don't worry about what anyone else thinks you should do. You do you, man.

A lot of times it’s their emotions. A lot of them want you to accept them for their insecurities or things like that but won’t accept you for yours. I think too we as men have not put our feet down when it comes to holding women responsible for things. So a lot of them go around thinking they’re like a Don, untouchable. Men can’t have preferences, we’re supposed to accept them the way they are. You can’t have a preference of not wanting to date a single mother but she can have a preference of not wanting to date a man who’s under 6ft. A lot of them truly think it’s not the same when a man tries to explain it logically. I think too a lot of women don’t care about men’s feelings. It’s usually about what they want that’s why many of them will leave a relationship for their happiness over everything else, even their family.

People are allowed to request anything from their partner, but it is up to that partner to decide to follow through or not. If they choose not to listen, they better not whine when their partner moves on with someone more compatible.

If you want something specific, go with that person, don't tell others what to do with their own body
