I like that you bring attention to the fact that men have problems too, I just took issue with #4. Guys hate the fact that they get stereotyped as harassers and rapists? 1 in 12 guys is a rapist, 1 in 5 women get sexually assaulted (usually by someone they thought was their friend). So yes, I'm going to stereotype you because those numbers don't lie, and I don't want that to happen to me. I'm sorry you get stereotyped, but I think women have it worse because we don't want to be raped. Women actually try to get into the army. More men are in the army because they apply, but women do too. Of course they're also at higher risk to get raped so Not to say a lot of these don't have their basis in reality, I just don't think that being stereotyped and being raped are on the same level.
"1 in 12 guys is a rapist, 1 in 5 women get sexually assaulted (usually by someone they thought was their friend). So yes, I'm going to stereotype you because those numbers don't lie"
Actually those numbers indeed lie. If you had looked at the entire study about 1in5 college women get sexually harassed, you would know that this entire study is a big pile of BS. Not to mention that their definition of sexual harassment is ridiculous and they counted things as sexual harassment which the asked girls did not see as such. So effectively mansplaining the asked women - except that women were the researchers.
How exactly is their definition of sexual harassment ridiculous? They defined sexual harassment as unwanted sexual touching, which is exactly what sexual harassment is. This is the nationwide poll I was referencing, and you're right, I did get the numbers wrong. It's 1 in 4 women, and 7% of men. www.washingtonpost.com/.../
The reasons are endless of why this 1in5 study is ridiculous. I read through it all (was quite interesting though on several levels).
1. They only interviewed in two different universities. What if those two universities were "party" universities? Simply not enough of a sample size. 2. They gave the participants rewards as in amazon coupons (needless to say that rewarding to participate will shift the demographic of who will participate). Participation rates were around 42-43% and included follow-up mails. 3. Their definition of sexual harassment starts already with attempts - which includes attempted kisses. As an example: A guy who would clumsily read a girls body language wrong or rush to early and lean in for the kiss, but stop when he figures he was wrong would be seen as a sexual harasser by this studies standards. 4. It includes every time a woman had drunk sex as non-consenting. Independent of the amount of alcohol 5. The researchers decide if it was assault and not the victim
1. The link to the article I showed you was a nationwide study. If you had read that you might have known. 2. Again, that doesn't apply here because this was a random nationwide study and participants were not given rewards. 3. Most of the results specify that the assault happened with 'physical force' or while they were incapacitated. It's not just a guy mistakenly leaning in for a kiss and backing off. 4. Again, incapacitated and assault by physical force do not mean the girl or guy were just a little drunk. 5. False again. The poll defined sexual assault and the victims decided if they had been assaulted or not.
6. The definition of their rape denies the potential of female homosexual rape. 7. There were "serial-victims" (which I found quite interesting that certain behaviour/occurance attract other specific behaviour. 8. The groundbreaking realisation that being drunk increases the risk. About doubling the risk 9. Promiscuous women were more likely to be victims. 10. The majority of the collected rape-incidence were without physical violence. Probably part because every drunk sex was counted as rape. 11. More than half of the "raped" and more than two thirds of the "sexually harassed" (by their definition) thought the incident wasn't serious and therefore didn't report it to the police. 12. First they admit that risky sexual behaviour, substances and promiscuity increases the chances of sexual assault and then later in the study tey say the victim has literally NO RESPONSIBILITY. 13. All sexual assault outcomes were binary. A complex topic could only be answered with yes/no.
14. The numbers of the ethnicities are around the same. The difference was that hispanics blacks and "other ethnicities" are more likely to be victims of forced sexual assault (aka mostly real violent rape rape) while white were way more often the victims of intoxicated sexual assault (including the attempted kissing, etc)
15. Hispanics and especially blacks are more likely to perpetrate serious violent sexual assaults while whites are more likely to do minor sexual assault while intoxicated.
16. They asked the participants if they felt it was sexual/assault and rape and then decided upon their own definition that they were indeed - even if the victim said they weren't. That effectively more than doubled the numbers for both.
17. 55,6 % of forced sexual assault and 66,5 % of incapacitated sexual assault victims thought that it wasn't serious enough. 36,8 % of forced sexual assault and 35,9 % of incapacitated sexual assault victims were unsure about if it was a crime and/or if harm
31,1 % of victims of incapacitated sexual assault did not remember what happened, aka blackout. 49,8 % of victims of incapacitated sexual assault thought they were partially/fully responsible for what happened.
18. "Over three-quarters of the perpetrators reported that the victim was drinking before the incident, and 81.0% of perpetrators had been drinking before the incident." So by their definition that the women (or both) being drunk and have sex = it's rape.
19. Their definition of rape is only, if someone penetrates.
"In addition, programs for men to prevent sexual assault perpetration could: - Provide accurate information on legal definitions of and legal penalties for sexual assault; - Inform men that they are ultimately responsible for determining (1) whether or not awomen has consented to sexual contact, and (2) whether or not a women is capable of providing consent; and - Educate men that an intoxicated person cannot legally consent to sexual contact and that having sexual contact with an intoxicated or incapacitated person is unacceptable"
This is true misogyny and sexism. The researchers openly admit here that women are inferior as they say men are responsible while durnk, but women aren't. Statistical research done by such biased researches is pretty much doing everything to fail providing an objective research.
As am example of another study: https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/rsavcaf9513.pdf which claims that 6,1 of 1000 women, meaning 0,61%, are victims of rape during their college time. I personally think that is an underrepresantation, but I point it out for the sake of showing how far studies can differ depending on the researchers and the definitions as well as strategies searchers take.
For understanding statistics as well as research I recommend anyone to read about confirmation bias, selective perception and falsibiility.
Most places I've been to, merely attempting to engage in small talk with some women is seen as "sexual harassment" - even if sex is never brought up! Simply asking an honest question and expecting an honest answer is seen as "intimidating," even if there was nothing intrusive about the content nor anything mean-spirited in tone. That is the height of insanity behind that so-called "study." It was sheer propaganda.
1. Direct quote page 11: "The CSA Study involved conducting a Web-based survey of random samples of undergraduate students at two large public universities, one located in the South (University1) and one located in the Midwest (University2)."
3. It pretty much is if they ignore the "victims" saying it wasn't but just go with their own definition.
4. It is nowhere in the study specifically stated what incapicated means. The questionnaire quote on page 109 was "stop what was happening because you were passed out, drugged, drunk, incapacitated, or asleep"
Wow, so because the stats say 1 in 12 guys are listed as racists (which we don't know is true or not), you would ridicule the 11 men that aren't rapists? Talk about sexist.
actually that is incorrect. less then 4% of the male population will rape, which is about the same number of female rapist, the FBI data concludes that it would be 1 in 36 or so same number as women raping men. They are also responsible for almost all sexual assaults as well. Those numbers came from feminist groups who already had a bias, in fact the statistic your thinking of is 1 in 5 the problem was the female "researcher" was working for a feminst magazine (Ms. magazine) and gave very misleading and loaded questions, the ones she gave to women would always result in the women being the victim and the men victimizer. When the report came out 68% of the respondedts out right stated that they were never raped. Its a lot of bull in those, your getting your information from people who recieve money only so long as they can "prove" that women are being victimzed.
Dammit.@FakeName123 I didn't even bother to look at the responses since I have never seen any one else mention this, guess I just made a duplicate argument. Thanks for making it though, its nice to know I'm not the only one trying to argue this.
I won't pee at a urinal unless I know I will be the only one in the bathroom for the entire time. But even alone, I don't think I could pee with those pictures. That would be really funny though...
The majority of these things fall into the same category which would be stereotypes and expectations which are created from society. The worst part about being a guy would be society's outlook but I won't let that tell me who my friends and I should be. When someone lets me know what I should or shouldn't be like or that I do things because I'm a guy I bring out the stereotypes on them not to make them feel worse and myself better but to make the feelings mutual so they can understand me better. When I'm held to unrealistic expectations I hold the other person to some of the same for them then I tell them we can put what just happened behind us and get on with the equality.
Actually guys or girls it doesn't matter.. Its hard just growing up and learing the ways of the world... We all face those adversities... All we can do is try till we die. Another nice job done... I wanted one for the boys :) ... Thanks
Can't speak for all guys but I'm sure I can speak for a huge portion of them, is I hate how the onus is always or usually on us guys to make the first move, approach and talk to first, ask out, be the initiator, take the lead, and I hate how us guys are so extremely judged, valued on our career and finances so much
Great job! I could relate to all of these, I myself would have added the "all guys are the same" thing like others pointed out. It's really ridiculous how some women get dumped/cheated on and go on and say that all guys are assholes lol.
I agree that both genders have their pros and cons. Stereotypes are "there for a reason", but I'd rather judge people (men and women) on their good deeds, good morals, and hard work... as individuals.
woahh... are you a goddess? you understand guys so well. I still can't believe cuz you know so much about us. Really, every guy in this world want a girl like you. I love you. <3 You're cool. I don't know, if it's just a casual writing or you really mean what you wrote, but anyways it's good.
Number 9 is what bothered me most. I hate living in a country with mandatory military service, when I was 18 it was a nightmare being forced to enlist.
Really unfair, it's not because we're men that we like those things. I still hope things will change here and I still hate every damn politician who doesn't try to change this.
@Pedantic Hahahah nope, I'm pretty sure I have a vagina :) I'm so happy you thought I was a guy cuz it means I really felt the struggle of you guys lol I'm feminist and I support equality, so I did a myTake about girls hating being girls and guys hating bing guys, pretty equal.
I don't believe it's hard being a guy... We live in a sexist world, that is a men's world. So... Ok guys attend the military. Big deal. Do you know how many girls would have no problem attending the military? And if they do, they get sexist comments before and after doing it. And about that titanic thing, God!!! He saved her because he loved her!! It wouldn't be any easier for her to watch him die in front of her eyes, knowing he died because he saved her... Jesus!! Relax people!!
For you military argument there is a big flaw to it: women are WILLING to join the military. Men don't get the right to vote unless they sign the draft, thus FORCING them into the military if needed. Women get to vote just for being the legal age, they don't have to sign there life away. Also women don't fight on the front lines, thus making their military jobs relatively safe. The whole titanic thing is that men's lives are valued less than women's. If a boat is sinking women and children are number one priority while the men have to fend for themselves until it's their turn. The problem wasn't that it was a big deal saving her, it's the fact that because I have a penis my life is less valuable.
@DeltaDanner Ohh come on... Well, you attend military and act like it's a death penalty! Relax!! Women feel pain! Actual pain. They give birth, they have periods on a regular basis and not only that but let's say a war (which is really not a very possible thing to happen, except at third world countries) does happen. Ok you'll die, you'll fight and you might die. I'm not saying it's going to be easy, but it is simple. Women will wait to live but when their country has lost in reality they will get raped, bitten to death or best case scenario just die. And believe me!! Just because you have a penis you don't get valued as less. In fact women are a priority for the simplest reason that they are expected to give birth to descendants. Therefore are valued many times just as a necessity for man kind to continue. Just as a necessary tool. How much value do you think is given to a "tool"?
You are being so self centered and ignorant right now and it's honestly infuriating. Are you going to really compare fighting, dying, and watching your friends die to childbirth and period cramps? Even worse, not having a say in the matter of wether you go or not? Fuck you and your "actual pain" if you think it can stand up to what soldiers face. You said war isn't a likely thing to happen? I have never seen my country at peace, never in my life. No one said women don't have problems and struggles; there was a myTake before this about women's problems. As for your "women are seen as tools" thing, fuck that too. If women are regard so "lowly" why are there lives saved before men's? You said they are seen as tools and not held in high regard? With that logic men are seen as less than tools, less than objects, and expendable.
@DeltaDanner oh just another example of how impolite and disrespectful people can be. Let me teach you something. Just because you don't agree with someone's opinion, it doesn't mean you can go ahead and call them names. In life not everyone will agree with you and many will make you feel infuriated, but it doesn't give you the right to transpass their, my rights and offend them, me like that. Get some manners and then talk to me again.
Well considering in the US men have to sign up for the draft or lose privileges such as school grants and loans. I do not think your argument should include military, at least when talking to a US male. Also we do not attend we volunteer to serve unless drafted.
"He saved her because he loved her!!!" First all that's only a movie and it's romance was fictional. Plus the scene is only being used as a picture in this take and I doubt it was intended for in-depth thought.
Now, in Titanic did you see Rose even attempt to save Jack? Even though she loved him just as much? Jack goes straight ahead to save Rose before himself likely because he felt he needed too because he is a man. Sound ridiculous? Well then imagine if Rose had been in the water instead and Jack had been saved. When Jack got home he would be ridiculed and hated for being a coward, not stepping up and not acting like a "real man".
Men are expected to be a hero and put a woman's life before their own.
@DaveyYourFavey Look noone would have done that. The problem with you men is that you believe that women expect everything from you... That's not true. Noone will call you names because you cry. You're a human and sometimes you have had a lot. Noone will think you're a coward if in a dangerous situation you're the one who got saved. Ofcourse if you didn't live the other person behind choosing to save yourself. that would show cowardness from both a male and a female. Even when feminism made it's huge break, most men were opposed it because they thought we want to rule the world, which is not true we just wanted women to be as equal as men and vice versa.
"You men"? Thanks for generalizing. "No one will call you names because you cry" ? Are you a man? No, no you are not. You have no idea how guys treat other guys. I have cried before in front of other guys (and for good reason) and yes I was made fun of and they didn't forget about it for a long time afterwards either. I have witnessed other guys cry before and they were ridiculed for a long time afterwards. One guy I know is still made fun of for crying over 2 years ago. I have even heard girls laugh at guys who cry. So don't pretend you know a anything about this when you have no clue.
"No one will think you're a coward if in a dangerous situation you are the one who got saved". Let's go back to Titanic for a moment. The scene where the women and children are being loaded into the lifeboats. One man, who was involved in the production and advertisement of the great ship, hopped into a lifeboat while the ship's guard wasn't looking. (this part of the story is actually true) That man was terrified for his own life and he wanted to live yet he is considered one of the worst cowards of all time. People hated him and called him a coward. That man lived a quiet, sad life and kept away from everyone after that because he felt so guilty. When people watch the Titanic they are sickened by his cowardice. I remember when my mother and my grandmother were watching the Titanic, and in that scene I remember them both saying something allong the lines of "Cowardly bastard!" and my mother says something similar every time it comes on.
@DaveyYourFavey Yeah because he tried to save his own ass. what you don't get is that he tried to save himself over everyone else, children MEN AND WOMEN. Even if two women were in that position and one of them digged the other one's grave saving her own life, she would still get called a coward. Even if a woman tried to save herself over another man willingly she would be called a coward. But indeed many woman are crying and don't want to live their loved ones behind even if everyone else gives them first a ticket to continue living. And believe me I do know. I know that you live somewhere shitty. I know that I don't judge someone for crying male or female, I know that no friend, siblings, or familiar person of mine would do otherwise as well. And the fact that males laugh over another male who cries comes to show that you men have come to put dos and donts to your lives. You are the ones who keep feeding those old primitive unwritten rules. As well as some stupid women.
That was 1912. Women were the weaker sex. Most woman didn't do exercise, and couldn't even swim. Where men on the other hand engage in a wide variety of sporting activities, thus resulting in stronger bodies. Also women's clothing back then work against them, even if they could swim, the weight of all the undergarments, corsets, clothing etc, when wet would drag them down under the water.
"You men" . Ther you go again, generalizing, how ignorant. I do not live somewhere shitty. How could you make such an outrageous assumption? I live in a nice area in Ireland. Sure, the people who would make fun of people for crying mightn't always be from great backgrounds but this is a pretty normal and well known thing in society. Where do you live? You sound like you have never been exposed to the outside world at all. You sound like you've lived some sort of privileged and spoiled life where you alway got your way. Your entire attitude lines up with that of a radical feminist.
That man in Titanic might have been more greedy than your average man but women and children were saved first and nearly all men were left to die. Going back to Jack and Rose, its obvious that Rose assumed that Jack would save her. She doesn't seem to have had a problem with Jack dying instead of her. If the exact situation had been reversed it would look very strange and like Jack is a self centred asshole
@DaveyYourFavey Oh my god!!! Firstly when I say shitty, I don't mean that you live in poor area,. Relax!! Just a country that most likely expects a lot from men. And you are the one who described the situations and the people surrounding you with a negative attitude since you yourself said they have made fun of you for crying. So don't blame me for making the assumption that your surroundings or the people surrounding you are "shitty ", as to not respect you. Secondly I haven't been spoiled, but I have just learned to respect others. Why would I make fun of a guy crying? Why would my parents raise me to believe that it is right to do so? That would be outrageous. And you clearly have your opinions set, so I'm not going to try and talk with you anymore. And one last thing, you still seem to believe that feminism means women > men. Please realise it's women = men and men =women!!!
My parents never tought me anything of the sort either, it's society's view. The word feminism has been spoiled by radical and extremist views from irrational women who claim to want equality but go about trying to get women special treatment and hating the male gender. It used to mean something, something good, but know, not so much. I know you're one of the girls who wants to show everyone it's true meaning but honestly it's a little far gone and at this stage it's better to just ditch that title. Go for egalitarian instead. It stands for equality. The word feminist itself promotes only women and rights for woman. It's goal was for woman to be equal to men but in this day and age men are discriminated against in certain situations too. Egalitarian promotes both genders equally.
women do join the military and it is mandatory in parts of the world. additionally historically many moire deaths from childbirth than fighting in a aware,. war is actually not necessary to survive. childbirth is essential. in fact more people would live without ware. so its a piss poor example of the trials men must endure. they should reject war olin a mass scale if they want to do some good. instead of bragging about being murderers.
I wouldn't brag if the draft ever came around again. i would be scared shitless that I wasn't an enlisted man before a likely would get a terrible role in the military. Your comment is also pointless because even if a country said look no more wars, what is that to stop other people? There are always power struggles and war will always exist. As for child birth deaths. Don't have children if you don't want to! Hell at almost 7 billion people maybe it would be a good idea. But the fact remains I have no choice but prison if I dodge the draft, you have a choice for child birth.
Now, when you can actually compare problems men and women face, every female problem asides from pregnancy and periods is just hilariously over-dramatized.
Like "hai thar, babe, wanna ride mah bull?". That's a mutual problem, actually.
But even here girls have a slight advantage: you see, beating up a girl won't raise your "prestige" in eyes of your associates that are harassing a person along with you (have you noticed that those folks never walk alone?). So if a girl just silently walks away or pays no attention, she's less likely to continue to be harassed further. More commonly she's hear "bitch" behind her before she will lose their attention. While when a guy starts to ignore some kind of harassment, such as "oi, nigga, da fuck ya lookin' at?" and decides to walk away, he's more likely to be chased down by those harassers and forced into "conversation" that is likely to result in a beating and/or robbery.
Anything else worth mentioning as a "huge problem"?
What I'm trying to say is that girls don't go around grabbing guys' asses without their permission, some guys do that to girls and it's not nice at all, it feels so damn uncomfortable. I know you guy have to go through a lot of shit like getting rob, I have to admit we don't go through that as much as you do. But many guys will never experience sexual harassment as much as us. I know guys can get raped too.
Which one, do you think, hurts more: getting your butt grabbed (what you described as "uncomfortable") or getting your teeth punched down your throat (something that is way beyond "uncomfortable")? I'm not saying that such behavior is okay, but males are more likely to get hurt in this scenario.
Hahahaha okay, I get it! But come on, don't try to say that life is easy for girls because it's hard for us too. Like I said, both genders have advantages and disadvantages.
That is true: both men and women have problems, advantages and disadvantages.
However, you actually compared them yourself and unless you're in denial, you will see that men have more disadvantages, less advantages and generally their problems are way more serious. Therefore WHEN COMPARING female problems/disadvantages to male problems/disadvantages, majority of stuff related to women looks hilarious.
@CrayolaCupcake And men commit suicide, get killed, get stressed, become alcoholics/drug addicts in order to relieve stress, get mugged, get imprisoned without a reason, beaten, falsely accused of doing something they didn't and so on and on in larger numbers.
@CrayolaCupcake men according to the FBI and impartial surveys and research are raped by women with almost the exact same frequency as men raping women. So much so that it is negligible diffrence. In domestic violence that is of a reciprocal nature (both parties are violent) it is instigated by women 50% of the time, if it is nonreciprocal (one person is always the victim) 70% of the time it is the women who is the abuser. This is according the CDC and various independent groups. 80% of assault/murder/muggings are male. In fact statisticly speaking children are more likely to experience violence or rape then a full grown woman. Please do your research before you start makeing accusations.
Hmmm... my ex tore my house apart by punching holes in the walls, busting out my cabinets, burning my clothes, trying to ram his truck into it, busting down my doors, flipping over furniture, etc. He also came after me several times and got physically violent while leaving blood, bruises, knot in my head and tearing my hair out when he grabbed me by it to slam my head into the walls. I couldn't stop him no matter how hard I tried (because he was physically stronger) and how many times the cops were called. He still kept coming back to do it and he always said it was my fault. How is that fair?
That was so not my point. You said women only have problems to do with pregnancy and periods while everything else is hilariously over-dramatized. I was giving you ONE example where this is not true.
If you would read carefully the entire conversation, you would notice that I was talking about the list that was in an another mytake. As far as we went in discussion in this topic, I already gave my response about physical abuse.
Apparently i am the only one disagreeing on this thread and the take owner has felt the need to single me out for "arguing". My points of view are not valid. Nice.
@eugene i actually couldn't see every comment in this thread until right this moment. My phone would not show them all. I had to borrow my daughter's phone in order to see each one. I also was not "freaking out". I was showing another point of view. I also don't recall seeing her other post regarding women, so i have no clue as to any references regarding that post.
Now she decided to make a topic about male problems. Now try to compare seriousness of problems that asker referred to as "problems" for men and women. Such as having lower priority of being saved in case of emergency to, say, having to shave often. Or being drafted to war to wearing a bra. Or having more chances of getting arrested for no reason to wearing makeup.
In comparison to our problems, majority of "female" problems she mentioned are so hilarious they aren't even worth being called "problems", asides from pregnancy and periods, while harassment is a common problem for both men and women, although men are more likely to experience physical harassment from other men (such as getting beaten to death), while girls generally experience verbal harassment and/or slight groping. Which one of them is worse think for yourself. I already explained how it works in comments to my answer.
@Eugene why are you willing to compare a man beating on another man to a woman being groped, but not willing to compare it to a woman being beat on by a man. That's not fair. She may not have had that in her take (idk), but that doesn't mean that it doesn't happen. I'm not saying that one person has it worse than the other person. Both are unfair. I just don't understand how you can ignore that something does happen and refuse to compare two similar scenarios, but compare two completely different scenarios. It's like you're saying that it doesn't matter if it happens to a woman. It's not valid because you don't want it to be. Personally, I think that EVERYONE has their own trials and tribulations that shouldn't be compared to make one look like they have it worse. Each person's issues are valid for them in their life. There's also a lot more at play in a person's life than what they deal with just because of their sex. It becomes more than about sex when you say that issues any woman
has "aside from pregnancy and periods is just hilariously over-dramatized". Maybe that was not your intent, but that's how it was taken. A woman can have many problems in her life, just as a man can. They shouldn't be compared. If we want to scream "equality" then we shouldn't scream "I have it worse than you so you are invalid" at the same time. It shouldn't be about race, sex, heritage, age, height, weight, sexuality, etc. It should be about HUMANS. We need to see people as equals, instead of beneath us, especially if we want them to see us as an eqaul.
@crystalt70 I said a guy is MORE LIKELY to get beaten. It is just less likely to be covered in media and/or discussed in society. Will you start paying attention? Besides, as far as I understand you still didn't read another take she made to even know what discussion is about.
Besides, a person who's mansion is too big to catch a wifi in his kitchen has a problem as well, but would you take it seriously?
I can agree that all of these are true, but it's a little sexist--at least, the last one. I mean. You can't say 'not all men' then categorize all women like that, erk. Aside from that, I'd say good job, but also... All, or many of these, are derived from sexism, and while it hurts guys, it's also hurting girls with the inverse, so please remember this is why equal rights matter.
True, but it is possible for guys. It took me years to 'train' myself not to stop after one and keep going, but even now I can't get past three. It's like there is no feeling left. But the girls like it becouse it lasts forever at that point.
@Nate_Bro Yes, ik its possible, and i can do it too. But its not the same as women. I honestly hate doing it, because it feels like my penis is getting rubbed raw, and i can't even feel my second orgasm. Its awful 😖
What Girls & Guys Said
Opinion
81Opinion
I like that you bring attention to the fact that men have problems too, I just took issue with #4. Guys hate the fact that they get stereotyped as harassers and rapists? 1 in 12 guys is a rapist, 1 in 5 women get sexually assaulted (usually by someone they thought was their friend). So yes, I'm going to stereotype you because those numbers don't lie, and I don't want that to happen to me. I'm sorry you get stereotyped, but I think women have it worse because we don't want to be raped. Women actually try to get into the army. More men are in the army because they apply, but women do too. Of course they're also at higher risk to get raped so Not to say a lot of these don't have their basis in reality, I just don't think that being stereotyped and being raped are on the same level.
"1 in 12 guys is a rapist, 1 in 5 women get sexually assaulted (usually by someone they thought was their friend). So yes, I'm going to stereotype you because those numbers don't lie"
Actually those numbers indeed lie. If you had looked at the entire study about 1in5 college women get sexually harassed, you would know that this entire study is a big pile of BS.
Not to mention that their definition of sexual harassment is ridiculous and they counted things as sexual harassment which the asked girls did not see as such. So effectively mansplaining the asked women - except that women were the researchers.
Huh, really? How so? Explain to me your reasoning. I'm genuinely curious.
How exactly is their definition of sexual harassment ridiculous? They defined sexual harassment as unwanted sexual touching, which is exactly what sexual harassment is. This is the nationwide poll I was referencing, and you're right, I did get the numbers wrong. It's 1 in 4 women, and 7% of men. www.washingtonpost.com/.../

1. They only interviewed in two different universities. What if those two universities were "party" universities? Simply not enough of a sample size.
2. They gave the participants rewards as in amazon coupons (needless to say that rewarding to participate will shift the demographic of who will participate). Participation rates were around 42-43% and included follow-up mails.
3. Their definition of sexual harassment starts already with attempts - which includes attempted kisses. As an example: A guy who would clumsily read a girls body language wrong or rush to early and lean in for the kiss, but stop when he figures he was wrong would be seen as a sexual harasser by this studies standards.
4. It includes every time a woman had drunk sex as non-consenting. Independent of the amount of alcohol
5. The researchers decide if it was assault and not the victim
1. The link to the article I showed you was a nationwide study. If you had read that you might have known.
2. Again, that doesn't apply here because this was a random nationwide study and participants were not given rewards.
3. Most of the results specify that the assault happened with 'physical force' or while they were incapacitated. It's not just a guy mistakenly leaning in for a kiss and backing off.
4. Again, incapacitated and assault by physical force do not mean the girl or guy were just a little drunk.
5. False again. The poll defined sexual assault and the victims decided if they had been assaulted or not.
6. The definition of their rape denies the potential of female homosexual rape.
7. There were "serial-victims" (which I found quite interesting that certain behaviour/occurance attract other specific behaviour.
8. The groundbreaking realisation that being drunk increases the risk. About doubling the risk
9. Promiscuous women were more likely to be victims.
10. The majority of the collected rape-incidence were without physical violence. Probably part because every drunk sex was counted as rape.
11. More than half of the "raped" and more than two thirds of the "sexually harassed" (by their definition) thought the incident wasn't serious and therefore didn't report it to the police.
12. First they admit that risky sexual behaviour, substances and promiscuity increases the chances of sexual assault and then later in the study tey say the victim has literally NO RESPONSIBILITY.
13. All sexual assault outcomes were binary. A complex topic could only be answered with yes/no.
14. The numbers of the ethnicities are around the same. The difference was that hispanics blacks and "other ethnicities" are more likely to be victims of forced sexual assault (aka mostly real violent rape rape) while white were way more often the victims of intoxicated sexual assault (including the attempted kissing, etc)
15. Hispanics and especially blacks are more likely to perpetrate serious violent sexual assaults while whites are more likely to do minor sexual assault while intoxicated.
16. They asked the participants if they felt it was sexual/assault and rape and then decided upon their own definition that they were indeed - even if the victim said they weren't. That effectively more than doubled the numbers for both.
17. 55,6 % of forced sexual assault and 66,5 % of incapacitated sexual assault victims thought that it wasn't serious enough.
36,8 % of forced sexual assault and 35,9 % of incapacitated sexual assault victims were unsure about if it was a crime and/or if harm
What about the other 11?
31,1 % of victims of incapacitated sexual assault did not remember what happened, aka blackout.
49,8 % of victims of incapacitated sexual assault thought they were partially/fully responsible for what happened.
18. "Over three-quarters of the perpetrators reported that the victim was drinking before the incident, and 81.0% of perpetrators had been drinking before the incident."
So by their definition that the women (or both) being drunk and have sex = it's rape.
19. Their definition of rape is only, if someone penetrates.
Direct Quote from the Research-Paper:
"In addition, programs for men to prevent sexual assault perpetration could:
- Provide accurate information on legal definitions of and legal penalties for sexual assault;
- Inform men that they are ultimately responsible for determining (1) whether or not awomen has consented to sexual contact, and (2) whether or not a women is capable of providing consent; and
- Educate men that an intoxicated person cannot legally consent to sexual contact and that having sexual contact with an intoxicated or incapacitated person is unacceptable"
This is true misogyny and sexism. The researchers openly admit here that women are inferior as they say men are responsible while durnk, but women aren't. Statistical research done by such biased researches is pretty much doing everything to fail providing an objective research.
As am example of another study: https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/rsavcaf9513.pdf
which claims that 6,1 of 1000 women, meaning 0,61%, are victims of rape during their college time. I personally think that is an underrepresantation, but I point it out for the sake of showing how far studies can differ depending on the researchers and the definitions as well as strategies searchers take.
For understanding statistics as well as research I recommend anyone to read about confirmation bias, selective perception and falsibiility.
P. S. Good thing I save all my stuff and therefore could easily copy it.
Most places I've been to, merely attempting to engage in small talk with some women is seen as "sexual harassment" - even if sex is never brought up! Simply asking an honest question and expecting an honest answer is seen as "intimidating," even if there was nothing intrusive about the content nor anything mean-spirited in tone. That is the height of insanity behind that so-called "study." It was sheer propaganda.
Here is the link to the actual study paper: www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/nij/grants/221153.pdf
To you reaction:
1. Direct quote page 11: "The CSA Study involved conducting a Web-based survey of random samples of undergraduate students at two large public universities, one located in the South (University1) and one located in the Midwest (University2)."
2. See #1
3. It pretty much is if they ignore the "victims" saying it wasn't but just go with their own definition.
4. It is nowhere in the study specifically stated what incapicated means. The questionnaire quote on page 109 was "stop what was happening because you were passed out, drugged, drunk, incapacitated, or asleep"
5. See page 83.
Wow, so because the stats say 1 in 12 guys are listed as racists (which we don't know is true or not), you would ridicule the 11 men that aren't rapists? Talk about sexist.
actually that is incorrect. less then 4% of the male population will rape, which is about the same number of female rapist, the FBI data concludes that it would be 1 in 36 or so same number as women raping men. They are also responsible for almost all sexual assaults as well. Those numbers came from feminist groups who already had a bias, in fact the statistic your thinking of is 1 in 5 the problem was the female "researcher" was working for a feminst magazine (Ms. magazine) and gave very misleading and loaded questions, the ones she gave to women would always result in the women being the victim and the men victimizer. When the report came out 68% of the respondedts out right stated that they were never raped. Its a lot of bull in those, your getting your information from people who recieve money only so long as they can "prove" that women are being victimzed.
Dammit.@FakeName123 I didn't even bother to look at the responses since I have never seen any one else mention this, guess I just made a duplicate argument. Thanks for making it though, its nice to know I'm not the only one trying to argue this.
Stereotyping people is wrong. You can't lump all people of one category into something. That's unfair.
I won't pee at a urinal unless I know I will be the only one in the bathroom for the entire time. But even alone, I don't think I could pee with those pictures. That would be really funny though...
Hahaha yeah, it's extremely uncomfortable lol I'd feel super uncomfortable having pics of guys watching me while I pee.
Aww, come on! You don't want to pee in front that guy on the right? He's waiting for you! Lol!
The majority of these things fall into the same category which would be stereotypes and expectations which are created from society. The worst part about being a guy would be society's outlook but I won't let that tell me who my friends and I should be. When someone lets me know what I should or shouldn't be like or that I do things because I'm a guy I bring out the stereotypes on them not to make them feel worse and myself better but to make the feelings mutual so they can understand me better. When I'm held to unrealistic expectations I hold the other person to some of the same for them then I tell them we can put what just happened behind us and get on with the equality.
Actually guys or girls it doesn't matter.. Its hard just growing up and learing the ways of the world... We all face those adversities... All we can do is try till we die. Another nice job done... I wanted one for the boys :) ... Thanks
Totally right! :) We can't complain about everything every time.
Thanks a lot :)
Your welcome :)
Can't speak for all guys but I'm sure I can speak for a huge portion of them, is I hate how the onus is always or usually on us guys to make the first move, approach and talk to first, ask out, be the initiator, take the lead, and I hate how us guys are so extremely judged, valued on our career and finances so much
Yeah, it's awful. I don't know how it would be for me, I can't imagine, having that pressure to be strong, to be the first, to have money. That sucks.
It looks worse in guys than it does in girls if a person still lives with their parents, more so if past a certain age, not financially stable
True...
Great job! I could relate to all of these, I myself would have added the "all guys are the same" thing like others pointed out. It's really ridiculous how some women get dumped/cheated on and go on and say that all guys are assholes lol.
Thanks a lot <3
I agree that both genders have their pros and cons. Stereotypes are "there for a reason", but I'd rather judge people (men and women) on their good deeds, good morals, and hard work... as individuals.
Interesting Take, thanks!
Thanks a lot :) <3
woahh...
are you a goddess?
you understand guys so well.
I still can't believe cuz you know so much about us. Really, every guy in this world want a girl like you. I love you. <3 You're cool.
I don't know, if it's just a casual writing or you really mean what you wrote, but anyways it's good.
I meant what I wrote and I appreciate your kind words <3
Thanks a lot <3
Number 9 is what bothered me most. I hate living in a country with mandatory military service, when I was 18 it was a nightmare being forced to enlist.
Thanks for sharing honey. That's awful :/ I feel o bad for you, it's really unfair that you guys have to live with this.
@crystalt70 THIS IS WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY, but you can't understand it, sheez woman!
Really unfair, it's not because we're men that we like those things. I still hope things will change here and I still hate every damn politician who doesn't try to change this.
Exactly, that should be different. It's awful being forced to do anything.
Obviously you didn't understand what i said. Did the words EVERY man in EVERY country come out of my mouth? No.
Of course not! What came from your mouth was a lot of "reasons" telling guys are not forced to do this.
THANK YOU!
With all those feminazi Takes and questions recently, now also advertised by GaG itself. It's about time a girl points out the problems guys face.
Thank you for restoring diversity. Keep it up :)
Thanks to you good man! :) It's my pleasure :)
Plenty of Feminists do that. Just because you don't pay attention does not mean that it does not happen.
Wow I didn't think a girl could put down out sruggled in a my take but this actually does it some justice. Yah is for doing this Amy!
Thanks for*
Thanks to you! :)
Wait, its a real girl? I thought for sure it was just a catfish / troll account.
@Pedantic Hahahah nope, I'm pretty sure I have a vagina :) I'm so happy you thought I was a guy cuz it means I really felt the struggle of you guys lol
I'm feminist and I support equality, so I did a myTake about girls hating being girls and guys hating bing guys, pretty equal.
I don't believe it's hard being a guy... We live in a sexist world, that is a men's world. So... Ok guys attend the military. Big deal. Do you know how many girls would have no problem attending the military? And if they do, they get sexist comments before and after doing it. And about that titanic thing, God!!! He saved her because he loved her!! It wouldn't be any easier for her to watch him die in front of her eyes, knowing he died because he saved her... Jesus!! Relax people!!
For you military argument there is a big flaw to it: women are WILLING to join the military. Men don't get the right to vote unless they sign the draft, thus FORCING them into the military if needed. Women get to vote just for being the legal age, they don't have to sign there life away. Also women don't fight on the front lines, thus making their military jobs relatively safe.
The whole titanic thing is that men's lives are valued less than women's. If a boat is sinking women and children are number one priority while the men have to fend for themselves until it's their turn. The problem wasn't that it was a big deal saving her, it's the fact that because I have a penis my life is less valuable.
@DeltaDanner Ohh come on... Well, you attend military and act like it's a death penalty! Relax!! Women feel pain! Actual pain. They give birth, they have periods on a regular basis and not only that but let's say a war (which is really not a very possible thing to happen, except at third world countries) does happen. Ok you'll die, you'll fight and you might die. I'm not saying it's going to be easy, but it is simple. Women will wait to live but when their country has lost in reality they will get raped, bitten to death or best case scenario just die. And believe me!! Just because you have a penis you don't get valued as less. In fact women are a priority for the simplest reason that they are expected to give birth to descendants. Therefore are valued many times just as a necessity for man kind to continue. Just as a necessary tool. How much value do you think is given to a "tool"?
@Aleera u need a good fuck
"We live in a sexist world"
Basically I am the only one upvoting you because that's the truth too.
You are being so self centered and ignorant right now and it's honestly infuriating. Are you going to really compare fighting, dying, and watching your friends die to childbirth and period cramps? Even worse, not having a say in the matter of wether you go or not? Fuck you and your "actual pain" if you think it can stand up to what soldiers face. You said war isn't a likely thing to happen? I have never seen my country at peace, never in my life. No one said women don't have problems and struggles; there was a myTake before this about women's problems.
As for your "women are seen as tools" thing, fuck that too. If women are regard so "lowly" why are there lives saved before men's? You said they are seen as tools and not held in high regard? With that logic men are seen as less than tools, less than objects, and expendable.
@DeltaDanner oh just another example of how impolite and disrespectful people can be. Let me teach you something. Just because you don't agree with someone's opinion, it doesn't mean you can go ahead and call them names. In life not everyone will agree with you and many will make you feel infuriated, but it doesn't give you the right to transpass their, my rights and offend them, me like that. Get some manners and then talk to me again.
Well considering in the US men have to sign up for the draft or lose privileges such as school grants and loans. I do not think your argument should include military, at least when talking to a US male. Also we do not attend we volunteer to serve unless drafted.
"He saved her because he loved her!!!" First all that's only a movie and it's romance was fictional. Plus the scene is only being used as a picture in this take and I doubt it was intended for in-depth thought.
Now, in Titanic did you see Rose even attempt to save Jack? Even though she loved him just as much? Jack goes straight ahead to save Rose before himself likely because he felt he needed too because he is a man. Sound ridiculous? Well then imagine if Rose had been in the water instead and Jack had been saved. When Jack got home he would be ridiculed and hated for being a coward, not stepping up and not acting like a "real man".
Men are expected to be a hero and put a woman's life before their own.
@DaveyYourFavey Look noone would have done that. The problem with you men is that you believe that women expect everything from you... That's not true. Noone will call you names because you cry. You're a human and sometimes you have had a lot. Noone will think you're a coward if in a dangerous situation you're the one who got saved. Ofcourse if you didn't live the other person behind choosing to save yourself. that would show cowardness from both a male and a female. Even when feminism made it's huge break, most men were opposed it because they thought we want to rule the world, which is not true we just wanted women to be as equal as men and vice versa.
"You men"? Thanks for generalizing.
"No one will call you names because you cry" ? Are you a man? No, no you are not. You have no idea how guys treat other guys. I have cried before in front of other guys (and for good reason) and yes I was made fun of and they didn't forget about it for a long time afterwards either. I have witnessed other guys cry before and they were ridiculed for a long time afterwards. One guy I know is still made fun of for crying over 2 years ago. I have even heard girls laugh at guys who cry. So don't pretend you know a anything about this when you have no clue.
"No one will think you're a coward if in a dangerous situation you are the one who got saved".
Let's go back to Titanic for a moment. The scene where the women and children are being loaded into the lifeboats. One man, who was involved in the production and advertisement of the great ship, hopped into a lifeboat while the ship's guard wasn't looking. (this part of the story is actually true) That man was terrified for his own life and he wanted to live yet he is considered one of the worst cowards of all time. People hated him and called him a coward. That man lived a quiet, sad life and kept away from everyone after that because he felt so guilty. When people watch the Titanic they are sickened by his cowardice. I remember when my mother and my grandmother were watching the Titanic, and in that scene I remember them both saying something allong the lines of "Cowardly bastard!" and my mother says something similar every time it comes on.
@DaveyYourFavey Yeah because he tried to save his own ass. what you don't get is that he tried to save himself over everyone else, children MEN AND WOMEN. Even if two women were in that position and one of them digged the other one's grave saving her own life, she would still get called a coward. Even if a woman tried to save herself over another man willingly she would be called a coward. But indeed many woman are crying and don't want to live their loved ones behind even if everyone else gives them first a ticket to continue living. And believe me I do know. I know that you live somewhere shitty. I know that I don't judge someone for crying male or female, I know that no friend, siblings, or familiar person of mine would do otherwise as well. And the fact that males laugh over another male who cries comes to show that you men have come to put dos and donts to your lives. You are the ones who keep feeding those old primitive unwritten rules. As well as some stupid women.
That was 1912. Women were the weaker sex. Most woman didn't do exercise, and couldn't even swim. Where men on the other hand engage in a wide variety of sporting activities, thus resulting in stronger bodies. Also women's clothing back then work against them, even if they could swim, the weight of all the undergarments, corsets, clothing etc, when wet would drag them down under the water.
"You men" . Ther you go again, generalizing, how ignorant.
I do not live somewhere shitty. How could you make such an outrageous assumption? I live in a nice area in Ireland. Sure, the people who would make fun of people for crying mightn't always be from great backgrounds but this is a pretty normal and well known thing in society. Where do you live? You sound like you have never been exposed to the outside world at all. You sound like you've lived some sort of privileged and spoiled life where you alway got your way. Your entire attitude lines up with that of a radical feminist.
That man in Titanic might have been more greedy than your average man but women and children were saved first and nearly all men were left to die. Going back to Jack and Rose, its obvious that Rose assumed that Jack would save her. She doesn't seem to have had a problem with Jack dying instead of her. If the exact situation had been reversed it would look very strange and like Jack is a self centred asshole
@DaveyYourFavey Oh my god!!! Firstly when I say shitty, I don't mean that you live in poor area,. Relax!! Just a country that most likely expects a lot from men. And you are the one who described the situations and the people surrounding you with a negative attitude since you yourself said they have made fun of you for crying. So don't blame me for making the assumption that your surroundings or the people surrounding you are "shitty ", as to not respect you. Secondly I haven't been spoiled, but I have just learned to respect others. Why would I make fun of a guy crying? Why would my parents raise me to believe that it is right to do so? That would be outrageous. And you clearly have your opinions set, so I'm not going to try and talk with you anymore. And one last thing, you still seem to believe that feminism means women > men. Please realise it's women = men and men =women!!!
My parents never tought me anything of the sort either, it's society's view. The word feminism has been spoiled by radical and extremist views from irrational women who claim to want equality but go about trying to get women special treatment and hating the male gender. It used to mean something, something good, but know, not so much. I know you're one of the girls who wants to show everyone it's true meaning but honestly it's a little far gone and at this stage it's better to just ditch that title. Go for egalitarian instead. It stands for equality. The word feminist itself promotes only women and rights for woman. It's goal was for woman to be equal to men but in this day and age men are discriminated against in certain situations too. Egalitarian promotes both genders equally.
Look feminism doesn't want women to be powerful over men. If feminist just hated males that would call themselves misandronists.
women do join the military and it is mandatory in parts of the world. additionally historically many moire deaths from childbirth than fighting in a aware,. war is actually not necessary to survive. childbirth is essential. in fact more people would live without ware. so its a piss poor example of the trials men must endure. they should reject war olin a mass scale if they want to do some good. instead of bragging about being murderers.
I wouldn't brag if the draft ever came around again. i would be scared shitless that I wasn't an enlisted man before a likely would get a terrible role in the military. Your comment is also pointless because even if a country said look no more wars, what is that to stop other people? There are always power struggles and war will always exist. As for child birth deaths. Don't have children if you don't want to! Hell at almost 7 billion people maybe it would be a good idea. But the fact remains I have no choice but prison if I dodge the draft, you have a choice for child birth.
This was great! It really gives the struggle justice and it's a great myTake. I'm glad I could be a part of it :)
Thanks a lot :) I'm glad you liked it :D
Thanks for being part of it :D
Now, when you can actually compare problems men and women face, every female problem asides from pregnancy and periods is just hilariously over-dramatized.
Hahaha okay, but let's be honest, both have huge problems. Both genders have awful disadvantages, girls don't have it easy.
Anything besides pregnancy and periods that is worth mentioning as a "huge problem"?
Sexual harassment.
Like "hai thar, babe, wanna ride mah bull?". That's a mutual problem, actually.
But even here girls have a slight advantage: you see, beating up a girl won't raise your "prestige" in eyes of your associates that are harassing a person along with you (have you noticed that those folks never walk alone?). So if a girl just silently walks away or pays no attention, she's less likely to continue to be harassed further. More commonly she's hear "bitch" behind her before she will lose their attention.
While when a guy starts to ignore some kind of harassment, such as "oi, nigga, da fuck ya lookin' at?" and decides to walk away, he's more likely to be chased down by those harassers and forced into "conversation" that is likely to result in a beating and/or robbery.
Anything else worth mentioning as a "huge problem"?
Well I don't think it's fair to say that. More that female and male problems are pretty Equal
What I'm trying to say is that girls don't go around grabbing guys' asses without their permission, some guys do that to girls and it's not nice at all, it feels so damn uncomfortable. I know you guy have to go through a lot of shit like getting rob, I have to admit we don't go through that as much as you do. But many guys will never experience sexual harassment as much as us. I know guys can get raped too.
@hypno-trip
Well, compare "problems" she mentioned in 2 mytakes.
Which one, do you think, hurts more: getting your butt grabbed (what you described as "uncomfortable") or getting your teeth punched down your throat (something that is way beyond "uncomfortable")?
I'm not saying that such behavior is okay, but males are more likely to get hurt in this scenario.
Hahahaha okay, I get it! But come on, don't try to say that life is easy for girls because it's hard for us too. Like I said, both genders have advantages and disadvantages.
That is true: both men and women have problems, advantages and disadvantages.
However, you actually compared them yourself and unless you're in denial, you will see that men have more disadvantages, less advantages and generally their problems are way more serious.
Therefore WHEN COMPARING female problems/disadvantages to male problems/disadvantages, majority of stuff related to women looks hilarious.
I feel like the fact that women get raped, abused, and sexually harassed in larger numbers than men is not over dramatized... just a thought.
@CrayolaCupcake
And men commit suicide, get killed, get stressed, become alcoholics/drug addicts in order to relieve stress, get mugged, get imprisoned without a reason, beaten, falsely accused of doing something they didn't and so on and on in larger numbers.
@CrayolaCupcake men according to the FBI and impartial surveys and research are raped by women with almost the exact same frequency as men raping women. So much so that it is negligible diffrence. In domestic violence that is of a reciprocal nature (both parties are violent) it is instigated by women 50% of the time, if it is nonreciprocal (one person is always the victim) 70% of the time it is the women who is the abuser. This is according the CDC and various independent groups. 80% of assault/murder/muggings are male. In fact statisticly speaking children are more likely to experience violence or rape then a full grown woman. Please do your research before you start makeing accusations.
Hmmm... my ex tore my house apart by punching holes in the walls, busting out my cabinets, burning my clothes, trying to ram his truck into it, busting down my doors, flipping over furniture, etc. He also came after me several times and got physically violent while leaving blood, bruises, knot in my head and tearing my hair out when he grabbed me by it to slam my head into the walls. I couldn't stop him no matter how hard I tried (because he was physically stronger) and how many times the cops were called. He still kept coming back to do it and he always said it was my fault. How is that fair?
@crystalt70
Just because you had a psycho, doesn't mean it doesn't happen to men.
That was so not my point. You said women only have problems to do with pregnancy and periods while everything else is hilariously over-dramatized. I was giving you ONE example where this is not true.
@Eugene and @crystalt70 arguing. This is epic.
@crystalt70
If you would read carefully the entire conversation, you would notice that I was talking about the list that was in an another mytake.
As far as we went in discussion in this topic, I already gave my response about physical abuse.
Pay attention before freaking out.
Apparently i am the only one disagreeing on this thread and the take owner has felt the need to single me out for "arguing". My points of view are not valid. Nice.
@eugene i actually couldn't see every comment in this thread until right this moment. My phone would not show them all. I had to borrow my daughter's phone in order to see each one. I also was not "freaking out". I was showing another point of view. I also don't recall seeing her other post regarding women, so i have no clue as to any references regarding that post.
@crystalt70
This is a topic she made before: www.girlsaskguys.com/.../a10588-things-i-hate-about-being-a-girl
Now she decided to make a topic about male problems.
Now try to compare seriousness of problems that asker referred to as "problems" for men and women. Such as having lower priority of being saved in case of emergency to, say, having to shave often. Or being drafted to war to wearing a bra. Or having more chances of getting arrested for no reason to wearing makeup.
In comparison to our problems, majority of "female" problems she mentioned are so hilarious they aren't even worth being called "problems", asides from pregnancy and periods, while harassment is a common problem for both men and women, although men are more likely to experience physical harassment from other men (such as getting beaten to death), while girls generally experience verbal harassment and/or slight groping. Which one of them is worse think for yourself.
I already explained how it works in comments to my answer.
@Eugene Okay, you are definitely right. Now that you put it that way I think you are right.
@Eugene why are you willing to compare a man beating on another man to a woman being groped, but not willing to compare it to a woman being beat on by a man. That's not fair. She may not have had that in her take (idk), but that doesn't mean that it doesn't happen. I'm not saying that one person has it worse than the other person. Both are unfair. I just don't understand how you can ignore that something does happen and refuse to compare two similar scenarios, but compare two completely different scenarios. It's like you're saying that it doesn't matter if it happens to a woman. It's not valid because you don't want it to be. Personally, I think that EVERYONE has their own trials and tribulations that shouldn't be compared to make one look like they have it worse. Each person's issues are valid for them in their life. There's also a lot more at play in a person's life than what they deal with just because of their sex. It becomes more than about sex when you say that issues any woman
has "aside from pregnancy and periods is just hilariously over-dramatized". Maybe that was not your intent, but that's how it was taken. A woman can have many problems in her life, just as a man can. They shouldn't be compared. If we want to scream "equality" then we shouldn't scream "I have it worse than you so you are invalid" at the same time. It shouldn't be about race, sex, heritage, age, height, weight, sexuality, etc. It should be about HUMANS. We need to see people as equals, instead of beneath us, especially if we want them to see us as an eqaul.
@crystalt70
I said a guy is MORE LIKELY to get beaten. It is just less likely to be covered in media and/or discussed in society. Will you start paying attention?
Besides, as far as I understand you still didn't read another take she made to even know what discussion is about.
Besides, a person who's mansion is too big to catch a wifi in his kitchen has a problem as well, but would you take it seriously?
THAT C PICTURE IS IN PORTUGAL. It's near my home town. And I only found this out the other day. Got so proud.
Fun post nevertheless.
Actually, now that I take a better look, maybe it's not. But still we have something pretty similar so it counts.
Hahaah so cool XD and bad at the same time lol
Thanks a lot :)
I can agree that all of these are true, but it's a little sexist--at least, the last one. I mean. You can't say 'not all men' then categorize all women like that, erk. Aside from that, I'd say good job, but also... All, or many of these, are derived from sexism, and while it hurts guys, it's also hurting girls with the inverse, so please remember this is why equal rights matter.
You forgot that guys can't have multiple orgasms 😢...
Haha yeah I did!! That's something nice about us girls <3
Speak for yourself dude.
True, but it is possible for guys. It took me years to 'train' myself not to stop after one and keep going, but even now I can't get past three. It's like there is no feeling left. But the girls like it becouse it lasts forever at that point.
@Nate_Bro Yes, ik its possible, and i can do it too. But its not the same as women. I honestly hate doing it, because it feels like my penis is getting rubbed raw, and i can't even feel my second orgasm. Its awful 😖
Am I the only one who finds something wrong with the #4? Those guys look like they stuffed.
Everything is wrong with the pic XD
Lmao! XD
Good take! I can relate to pretty much all of these.
Especially the 'manly strength', I'm not strong at all lmao.
Thanks a lot :)
Yeah, it's unfair to think all guys are superheroes...
No problem, and yeah. I'm not captain fucking America lmao.
U are fucking Captain UK XD
Captain Tea sipper 👐

Not a fan of tea. I love tequila. I am a true mexican girl LOL. Just kidding, I get drunk too quickly.
I don't really drink tbh. 😂
When I do I just fail haha
Holyyyyyyyyyyy crap this nailed what I've tried to say so many times. Good job with this WhatTheHellAmy.
I'm glad you liked it!!! It's my pleasure :)
