What would you say the worst part about being a man is?

The lack of empathy. We get our genitals hacked apart hours after we're born and sometimes get forced into government slavery to go off and kill and be killed by the slaves of another government (despite slavery being, on paper, illegal basically everywhere), and yet get constantly told that "women are discriminated against" because some places restrict abortion.

As someone who can be thrown in prison for failing to make child support payments for a child I never consented to have from a sexual encounter I didn't consent to have (despite debtor's prisons being illegal), you can imagine how this sounds. This a billionaire in the homeless shelter bitching about capital gains taxes.

But despite the fact that half the electorate is male, these things never improve. THAT is why I complain about the lack of empathy and not the lack of rights (well, I complain about those, too, but not in this answer); because nobody cares enough to change things.

"We get our genitals hacked apart hours after we're born"
I'm thankful I'm neither Jewish nor an American. Never happened to me. But yeah. Shit sucks.

[Chazmatazz269]

Nobody cares what we’re going through.
Women insist that even IF men suffer, women suffer MORE. So there’s no point in trying to solve our problems, let alone complain. Other men, including men who are actually suffering as much or more, are stuck in the antiquated mindset that it’s our place to suffer stoicly. We’re second class citizens and we should be thankful for our suffering, not bitch about it, let alone try to end it.
It’s difficult to see easily resolvable issues being completely ignored because too few people even believe there are issues, let alone care enough to try.
Didja know that the SPLC lobbies to categorize all men’s groups as domestic terrorist organizations? No joke. It’s not just unkool to advocate for men. It’s criminal.

[Simslover92]

That all men seem to get categorized with all the bad guys when not all men are bad. Like that bear vs man meme which showed how women think of men as these evil vile things which is so not true. I think that's the worst part of being a man is that you will get automatically labeled as a bad guy just for being male.

[ManInChains]

The fact that women can generalize all men using that man and bear meme and can't be criticized for it without being defended, while men can't generalize all women the same way without being called out as a misogynist or an incel or for having a tiny penis or whatever goes to show how much privilege women have over men. It makes me want to have nothing to do with women which only makes me that much more of an incel/misogynist/etc

[ManInChains]

Its as if men have to just be greatful that women exist regardless of how women make men feel

[ManInChains]

I didn't realize saying that makes women look like dictators lol and honestly they are

[Simslover92]

I agree wholeheartedly. It's very sickening the double standard that women are able to put up when it comes to being generalized. That's why I'm so glad they put out that drizzle drizzle movement to show just how warped women's thinking truly is. And I understand why you wouldn't want anything to do with women because of that.

[Nikki1989]

Being fed the constant BS and misinformation from other men, especially online. Some men have already been destroyed and brainwashed beyond repair by the time they are 18.

[Bricealan]

Maybe that there are certain expectations as to qualities that men are expected to have or exhibit in society? Perhaps the Alpha Male attitude? Machismo? Tough question to answer. The fact is, for me, I don't think there is a 'worst part"

[PreferNot2Say]

Dealing with women's constant bullshit. There was a lesbian journalist that lived as a man for eighteen months and ended up hating women after she lived through their shit as a man. She eventually killed herself.

[Chazmatazz269]

Her name was Norah Vincent and it was less than a year. It’s not widely believed that her experience as a man contributed to her suicide, decades later. But she did write about serious psychological issues that arose from that experience and was compounded by other issues in her life and mental health struggles.
She also didn’t hate women as a result. She just found a great deal of sympathy for men that she didn’t have before, and most women still don’t.

[hildegain]

@Chazmatazz269 Correct and a more or less succinct telling of the story.
It's not that women are evil and make all men feel bad. It's that society, generally, does not value the life of an individual man. When you change your perspective to view life from the perspective of an individual who is rarely supported, understood, or even treated remotely decently. It can have a profound effect on your outlook.

Much like how I have great sympathy for women who live in certain parts of Africa. Life is hard for many people. The narrative is that men in the west have it so easy. The reality is very different.

[NathanDavis]

when you get mixed with those who are not actual men... yet

[b_lova]

I'm not the type to look at negatives so I wouldn't know.

[handsomelad70]

Feeling you must live up to the caveman aspects of masculinity, i. e., burying emotions, ALWAYS exhibiting physical strength and toughness, sociopathic acquisitiveness, etc.

[ManlyMan111]

There is no worse part, being a man is the best thing that could ever happen to anybody that is born as a man, men are stronger, faster, smarter, and just downright better than women all together.

[demonics]

Being a rational person in an emotional world.

The casual disrespect and disposability because man.

[Lessthanaveragr]

The worst part about me being a man is that I have a micropenis, so the thing that defines me as a man is less than half the size of everyone else.

[Deserter2]

Lack of empathy, also having to deal with women's bullshit when it comes to dating

[DrPepper12]

Fucking face shaving. If I could Botox my face I would. I hate shaving!!

[Chazmatazz269]

Laser hair removal

[OddBeMe]

Pair o’ balls hanging constantly between your legs. Memo sent to evolution: Try harder.

[Backgammon]

Trying to figure out women. I’ve been with the same woman for almost 27 years and I still don’t understand a lot about her

[you_asked]

Lugging my circus like penis and balls around on the daily.

[Yannae]

Beards. I don't like having to shave it so often.

[exitseven]
