periods😠
What's the worst thing about being your gender?
- Men can't show emotion, especially sadness. Women can cry and whine all they want, and their girlfriends will hug them and hold their hand. If men cry, their girlfriends will break up with them for being too unmanly.
- Body hair. Chest hair, stomach hair, back hair, shoulder hair, butt hair - if you're part Italian or Middle Eastern or East Indian, this especially applies to you.
- Men aren't allowed to be bisexual. I'm not bi, but I have known a couple bi guys in real life and a few on online forums/discussion sites like this one, and they always have a hard time getting a girlfriend. Even bi women aren't willing to date a bi man. An old buddy of mine was/is straight and had a girlfriend, and the girlfriend was heavily bi and very much into other women, and fooled around with other women all the time. One day my friend started feeling an attraction to transsexual women, and started watching transsexual porn. He confessed to the girlfriend that he had a thing for transsexuals, and might want a threesome with him, the girlfriend and a trans woman - and the girlfriend broke up with him because of it. There are very few things I hate more than hypocrisy, and bi women are pretty much the most hypocritical creatures on the planet.
- Men have to make the first move with a woman. They have to approach her, hit on her, and have enough self-esteem, self-confidence, and game to do both. Making things worse, feminazis have basically made it illegal for a man to approach a woman.
- Speaking of feminazis, let's be honest - in our current political climate (which was created by feminists that control society), whenever a woman accuses a man of rape, the man is always presumed guilty until proven innocent. It's unconstitutional, but what do you expect from feminazis, which are pretty much anti-American communists.
-- The law is incredibly biased against male victims of domestic violence. Thanks to feminists, every time a woman beats her husband, whenever the husband calls the cops, they are forced by law to arrest HIM, and she never gets arrested. You can thank feminists for making that law.

being single and taking walks makes people thing your a pedo or a rapist. Guys have to make the first move, but making the first move is technically verbal sexual harassment. Ugly guys have to somehow benefit society and dedicate their lives to working while watching better looking guys leading lives with partners and families benefiting from their work. Being a guy can be amazing if you make that elite cut, but more times than not, you're a piece of shit in the eyes of everyone else

* Periods
* Cramps.. :-I, I might be walking on my period. Suddenly I get a cramp and it feels like the world just twisted around me or something.
* Blood stains... it looks like I slaughtered myself but really its just the period blood...
* I hateeee wearing pads or tampons etc makes me feel like a little child wearing nappies :-(
* Child birth
* Pregnancy ughhh the constant vomiting, heart burn, constipation, everything smelling nasty, can't eat anything cause it smells weird, massive cravings for food that's non existent... carrying this weight, the back pain feels like my spine snapped in half..
* Brittle bones during menopause (happens more in women than men)
* Anaemia (iron deficiency due to menstrual blood loss, many women suffer this in the UK)
* Menopause
* PMS / mood swings (not every one has this)
* As a woman I'm expected to shave everything because body hair on a woman is seen as repulsive, unhygienic and unfeminine. I can't walk in a short dress into a restaurant with hairy legs without discrimination.
(I hate this because my body hair is mine and I should not be forced to remove it or cover it up ).
* Wearing makeup is necessary to job interviews and certain jobs now.
* Wearing high heels is necessary in certain jobs. Heels really hurt my feet.
* I am sure men have this one too but the constant attack for either being fat or skinny. Certain people bash you for being skinny and certain people bash you for being fat. ... The saying goes you can't please everyone.
* I can't run without holding my boobs
* My thighs start to chaff after 4 hours of walking
* I am sure men get this one too... but the need to look like a goddess without any flaws is essential... when I'm just a hairy homo sapien woman who shits, urinates just like our counterpart men
* I hateeeeee... having no pockets and carrying bags on top of bags because they don't put pockets on dresses

-mansplaining
-unsolicited dick pics (not that I would ever want a dick pic, like if you -want to be sexy, send me a photo of your face and chest dude. just a close up of any body part is weird, unless specifically asked) or unsolicited sexual offers
-catcalls. man, don't do that. why would you that? Why do you think it's a great idea to shout at strangers on the street? or honk at them? If you wanted to make me jump-scare, congratulations, you succeeded.
-being asked to smile by random dudes and old men.
-periods and periods cramps. having to go on about your life as if nothing's happening even when you feel as if a very obese person is sitting on your lower abdomen and the stress of wondering every minute if you have a stain on your pants that everyone can see.
-weird dudes on the subway that gets too close to you and breathe on you or just the uncomfortable stares and creepy smiles.
-if I want to have biological children, I have to be the one carrying them. I'd rather not. It's fucking weird having a human grow inside of you.
-almost every part of your body is being sexualised from a very young age.
-walking alone at night, the fear of being raped. Yes, men also get raped but I'm pretty sure if you're coming home at 3 am your main concern is not whether or not you're going to get raped. (almost every girl I know, including me, has been stalked at least once)
-boys not being socialized towards showing and sharing their emotions, feeling like they have to act a certain way, be a "real man" and feel threatened in their masculinity if you don't act traditionally feminine. I've had dates who would be angry with me because I wanted to pay for them, even if they had paid for me before. Like, I obviously want to return the favor, we're not in the 1950. I don't expect you to pay for me and I don't want to, unless I can pay for you too later.

Females are under appreciated and undervalued.
Most men really have absolutely no idea what women do for them, and what they go through in order to make it happen.
They only see when they don't have dinner hot and ready on the table, or when their clothes aren't washed and folded, I or when the house isn't spotless, or when the kids are being entertained for a whopping 5 minutes and he has to do it, or when we don't make sure they are emotionally and mentally okay for once, meanwhile we are falling to pieces and having to push through it alone. Their are tons of big things and little things that men expect from woman, they don't realize we do those things out of love. And tend to stop doing them once we realize how long we've been doing them without them being appreciated. We don't HAVE to do all of these things, we do them because we love you and want to do everything we can to make life easier on you. So thank your girlfriend or wife for these little and big things, as I'm sure she thanks you for all that you contribute to.

birth, periods, boobs, not being able to protect ourselves from predators, being a whore, bitch, slut, cunt, just because i have a vagina. looking like a slut in a tank just because my boobs are a D+ not being able to dress Normal because most all clothes at the store are cut in half and made for Skinner girls. why would i want to buy half a shirt anyways? skinny or fat that was probably irrelevant but hey it's semi true. men speaking over me because I'm a woman. men telling me i talk to much if i respond. men calling my perioid nasty because they don't bleed lol.

Well its between having every issue you face being ignored, trivialized, or told how every one else (especially women) has it worse so shut up and deal with it or it could be the whole being blamed for everything and told how your the root cause of all problems in the world to the point where your portrayed as the monster in every situation. That or the constant responsibilities that you have that women do not but your still told that they have it harder even as your expected to be there beast of burden (hold the door open for them, carry their stuff, hold the car door open for them, do all heavy lifting because its the "mans job") and also buying all of their things (pay for dates, buy them flowers, buy them jewelry and don't be stingy) while they tell you how they are oppressed and mistreated and your sexist and hate women if you don't agree with them and how they want a traditional relationship, but only for the man she can do what ever she wants and don't you dare argue because that's misogyny no be a good boy and do what your told. Its hard to say which is worse, but those would be my top three.

The most frustrating part is in dating. I want so much to have a woman come after me like I am expected to go after women. But women do not make that first contact and they don't take the initiative. I have seen that younger women are doing it more. But women in my age range very very very rarely make that first move. I am in the horrors of online dating. I have dated several women that have stated that "no way I am sending that first message". I am like WTF? Women get an avalanche of messages online and most are from cheating men or from guys they have no interest in. If the woman sent that first message to the guy she is interested in, then she knows for sure she should read the message if he replies. You women want equality except when you don't. I took a year off dating but left my profile active on POF and OkCupid. in 1 yr and 2 months I received exactly 2 messages. Yet if I take the initiative and send out messages, I can have a date within a few days to a week at most. Seriously frustrating.

Well in the area of being single and a decent and respectful man. Women tend to put men into one box because of the men who disrespect and treat women as a piece of meat. It's hard to approach because there's the guard that goes up. Because of the men that hit on women and are aggressive. For instants, social media. Like on the
Skout app. Not all but their are a lot of adult men or sapposed to be men. Asking / demand nude pix from women they just start to chat with. When she turns dude down , they tend to send dick pix. WTF is that? Or get volgure and nasty. Acting like children. Then when a guy that has more integrity tries to start a chat. They are dismissed or the women are very short. When I do manage to get a chat with substance, I get complimented on how I conducted myself. That's nice but , that should be expected. Not the guy going into sexual context as there conversation starter. Just like the guys that would whistle at a woman walking down the street. If she is alone , I'm sure she gets nervous and not turned on. Worried is this guy gonna follow me. Ladies I applogise for having to deal with those creeps. There are some quality men that know how to treat women with respect. Give a guy a chance if his approach is mild mannered .
Please don't throw us all in the butt hole box ? -
The constant pressure by the society, how to "manhandle things", how to act in front of a girl so she will not see you as a loser, to beat the other guys so you stay on top. Also, perhaps this is not in the worst in the list but as men, it is not accepted to wear tights... well not exactly tights but tight pants. Me and some friends tried on those leggings the girls wear in the winter and we never got any weird looks and we have a video to prove this. Obviously if you are in the bus eventually you will be noticed, but we tried it at 'Target' and everything was fine. I mean tight fitting pants are very comfortable but it is not accepted by the society because they are not manly therefore gay... same goes with bathing suit. Wear something else besides shorts and you are marked as gay or whatever (at least I can still wear my jammers in my pool). I am not one of those guys who go to the beach to lie down and get a tan, I go because of the ocean, I want to get wet, to swim otherwise stay home and quite frankly the shorts are not comfortable at all in the water. Ok, I understand in public might be embarrassing for your manhood however we have these things called compression shorts. With them it actually compresses your manhood's visibility making it more subtle, therefore not awkward. It also helps it keep it at one place so another problem solved. But anyway I will probably get some hateful answers for the garments... so I will end it here.

Actually
I am a man and proud to be a man... I do not want to lengthen.
Yes we have very strong sweating odor and also urine...
Despite this, I find that the shortage of men is positive.
But I find that the body and actions and the smell of the female and even the way of her words... Even menstruation and even birth is not called to hate the girl for herself but vice versa... I find pleasure in protecting my sister or my relative or any female and found it noble if it protects There is no need for man...
The female is the complementary part of the man and the man is an integral part of the female
I would like to say...
Although most of my words are not considered an addition to this subject...
But the truth
Paradise without women is a blues
I want to say...
The good luck is to find a girl who wants to stay with her all the time...
If you are angry with you, you will be with you
And smiled you love her
If you stumble love it
If you cry, love her
And if thou shalt be alone with thee
My wife, mother, sister, counselor, teacher and friend. -
1. Being underestimated just because I'm a girl.
2. Being called an attentionwhore when you tell them honestly about your problem.
3. Slutshaming us women for liking/having sex. Or having many sexual partners (while some guys get praised for fucking lots of girls).
4. The pressure of being perfect (ideal body, how girls "should act", wearing makeup etc..).
5. Some girls get jealous or competitive and wanna tear each other down (at least most of the people I've met).
6. we get often blamed for rape or any type of sexual harassment, because of the clothes we wear.
7. and of course periods. -
the fact that in this comment feed a large number of the female complaints have a direct attack on their claim by a male user and very few of the male complaints were questioned by females.
We need to respect EVERYBODY'S lived experience. so when a guy says he feels scared that if he expresses any emotional vulnerability girls will think he's weak we honor that its shitty that society equates emotions with fragility.
And when a girl says she feels unsafe walking down the street because guys look at her in a way that makes her feel like a piece of meat we need to respect that that is something she has experienced and not say "well not all guys look at you like that."
I believe the purpose of this feed is to complain about the anatomical issues that come from our sex or the societal pressures that create such rigid pressure on both groups of people.
When girls say " I feel afraid of men." they aren't saying "I feel like all men are animals that want to hurt me," but instead " men have been taught by society that expressing emotion is the same as showing weakness and that anger is the only appropriate emotional response. Most men are biologically larger and stronger than me. If, accidentally or on purpose, I inspire an emotion in a man that he has only learned to process as anger I could very easily be physically or emotionally hurt."
In most cases neither gender is trying to critique the other more the rules that govern the interactions between the other gender. -
Getting hit in the balls.
Women looking for gender equality (I'm more into justice than equality), yet they still want to keep their advantages as women.
Social pressure to act like a "Man" (Seriously, I've been told that I was too nice-kind-calm for a guy, like I almost never get mad over people and never use violence... Really? 😑).
Girls acting cold and being socially closed to any form of interaction (I know that It depends on people, but especially on where you live , and I'm not in the USA).
Can't compliment a guy or I may sound gay (which I'm not).
Can't compliment a girl or People may think I'm attracted to her when I'm not.
Girls however can compliment other girls or guys without any problem.
Oh by the way, it's hard making girl-friends since most girls think that since you're a guy you wanna flirt.
Oh and even if you have GOOD GENETIC , you still got to workout and train to have a nice body, which is not exactly the same for girls.
I can go on...
But still being a guy is so cool at least we're not boring, we're funnier and physically advantaged. -
It's funny because most of the girls here are complaining about periods... but that's the worst thing?
I think gender stereotyping and over sexualization are bigger issues to complain about. It's an outrage that because we are women, we are viewed as second tier to men in positions of leadership. It's a shame we have to cover our bodies up because we become targets of sexual assault and verbal abuse. It's a crime women are paid less than men even if we put twice the amount of work into whatever we do.
I'm not happy about periods either, but that is only brief physical pain to endure. Have you considered the years of emotional and mental pain from our culture's stereotyping and discrimination? Seriously, we couldn't even vote until nearly a century ago. That is sad. -
If there is one thing that is the absolute worst about being a man, it's the typical male stereotypes. According to male stereotypes, I'm not a man if I don't have big muscles like a lumberjack, cry/ get emotional, don't drink beer and don't watch sports.
The fact that I can't cry absolutely hurts when I get emotional over something. It hurts and lowers my self esteem. I'm naturally a caring and emotional guy. I could probably help this but I fear becoming someone who I am not and become less caring towards everyone around me. -
Being accused of being an oppressor, a rapist, a privelaged stealer of rights, a monster even. I'm a straight, white Scottish man. My people have been oppressed for a millennium, had atrocities carried out on them and forced into poverty and deprivation. After all that time and all that suffering just coz I'm a white man who likes girls im being labelled an over privelaged rapist who sucked the life out of other races and treated women like slaves. Out of the frying pan and into the fire in the eyes of society. Ain't life a blast eh?

My periods!!! The bleeding lasts around 7-9 days and the pain lasts for like 2 weeks thanks to my hormone imbalance 😭😭😭 there are days when I just want to die because the pain is so much that I can't even stand or straighten up I just have to stay in a ball... and the vomiting 😢 I honestly hate it so and I started all of this when I was 12 and my friends all thought I was a freak because they were kinda late bloomers like it was years before they started theirs and I just hate it because I get really emotional, moody, and I just feel terrible. I hate periods😭😭😭 I just hate not being able to control my emotions sometimes... I'm on it now 🤧😥

biased law,
man hating modern day feminism,
getting hit on ball,
can't show emotions.
getting rejected (in every field)
you can't afford to get beaten by girl neither you can hit them..
Expected to make first move , always.
people always see us as a repist
being treated piece of shit , if you don't have enough money ,
not having right to chose anything , be happy with what you got..
can not get laid on will...
boner...
Baldness.
Body shaming,
Men don't often get enough credit and appreciation for the sacrifice they make as Brother, father , son , husband, boyfriend,
because this is our job...
even after all these problems, I still would want to be born as male if i'd have to live again... -
People (mostly women) making assumptions that I'm just another sexist pig that only cares about sex. Having a girl I like tell me that she is afraid I will take advantage of her when I don't give any reason for it is fucked up and for some reason socially acceptable.

(1) Women are protected by state-laws and non-Govt organizations like the Mahila-Commission and also by the so called women's rights movements, etc; But, we, men, have no such protection; So, our wives are free to attack us and we can't react because they are incredibly protected;
(2) When a woman hits a man in public, people think the man must be guilty; But, if a man hits a woman in public, people again blame the man of torturing women;
(3) A woman is free to divorce her husband; But, if man divorces his wife, he has to pay half his salary to the divorced wife; -
Not being able to eat as much, periods, big boobs, all the extra time spent peeing (I mean when you think about it it's kinda a handicap when the minutes add up) being told I'm only showing off with picking up things a guy "should" be picking up (aka moving a heavy table/object). not being able to hang out with a large group of guys as a straight woman, because then it'll look like I'm a ho/they won't see me as one of the dudes because I srsly have the mindset of a guy (I prefer the company of men, they're more fun to hang out with) The list is endless!
-
Not being able to show emotion. For whatever reason, not crying when a loved one dies is seen as tough, masculine. If you do cry, you’re frowned upon. You have male chivalry, which I am fine with, but I hate that you’re shunned if you don’t hold a door for a lady. I also hate that you have to ask girls out. Why can’t it be the other way around? We’re just as shy as they are.
-
Taking a shit with a boner. Or giving a women your not sexually interested in a compliment cause she smells good and having her look at you like your some pervert who wants to fuck her. If you even glance at some women they think your trying to rape them. Other than that, being a man is great
-
Hmm... probably being seen as both a villain and expected to be a gentleman. You could have issues and problems that are quickly downplayed and your expected to just carry on alone with the weight of the world on your shoulders.
You're simultaneously seen as and expected to be a masculine protector and provider but that same masculinity is also seen as a monstrosity and a terrible blight on the earth.
Its almost like you're walking on eggshells. At any moment your actions, while intentionally good, can be misconstrued as evil and wicked.
You start wishing that you could be the monster everybody thinks you are but deep down you remind yourself that you're more than that, better than what other people talk down to you as.
I guess... the modern day male life can be summed up as: "The road to hell is paved with good intentions... which road am I on?" -
being male. i was raped and not taken seriously. i babysit kids and get called a sexual deviant and reported (im 17) i got phisically and emotionally hurt when i was fat (kids would gang up on me and beat me up, girls too) that i became skinny just so i can eat lunch normally. i can't have a type, but girls can tease me and feject me beacause of my weight, hair, height, or even my social standing. i always have to watch my actions so i dont offend anybody, and because im a mjuscular black man my family is ostrasized in our new primarily white neighborhood. i hate being male
