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.
To be fair though about the crying point. I as a woman don't even cry or express overly obvious sad emotions very often around other people, so if a guy I'm dating is 'unmanly'-er than me in that sense I just can't stand it. I just can't date someone more feminine than myself.
True. I think to be honest with crying / emotion a man who is overly sensitive is not attractive I'd assume. However crying to natural events (family / friends dying etc) is natural. men's emotional responses are triggered by different things in general. masculinity is a very hard thing to define now, largely due to feminism which is mostly a very positive thing, however it does confuse the waters in terms of a defined masculine model and we often as men receive mixed messages culturally. However this is probably preferable to an overbearing need to be a testestrone beast all the the time so it's swings and roundabouts
your point about Bi men is interesting... I think bisexual men are almost the last taboo in LGBT culture , beyond even trans. many women assume you're gay and still in the closet, and some straihht men will assume the same and not want to hang out with you, whilst in that culture you can often be seeing as 'not choosing a side etc. It's a bit silly to be honest. most research has shown that everyone is somewhere on a spectrum of sexuality from gay to straight and no in the middle. Kinsey scale. I am a 2 which is bicurius with a pref for women. if More people were honest there would be no confusion.
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
@Blake0048 and then we gotta deal with a bunch of bullshit these 'buzzfeed' feminists are yelling out OMG it makes me want to take away free will
* 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
@rajpotchh awww thank you ♥♥♥♥♥
-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.
"I'm sure she thanks you for all that you contribute to"?
Honesty how often do you see women thanking and praising men in public or around the family? Sometimes yes but it's becoming incrrasingly rare. I can count the times on one hand I have heard my mom openly say something positive about my dad but on the flip side my dad literally worshiped the ground she walks on.
Sorry but feminism has made "praising" men analogous to "praising" nazis.
I'm not about feminism. I'm speaking from personal experience and from what I've witnessed other females go through. My dad "worshiped" my mom as well, but bitches every time she stopped doing the things he eventually learned to expect from her. As for the quote you paraphrased, that's also from personal experience.
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.
those are true issues guys have problems but just doesn't match with the problems of a woman.
yeah. i hate being restrained. when my boyfriend is mad he yells at me to leave him alone get away but when im mad he restrains me and holds me down and damn near forces me to get over it or he won't leave me alone. once i hit him because of it and he hit me back because i hit him first yet fails to realize he's fuckin restraining me thats putting your hands on someone first
totally agree with you
You are just around some ignorant men. Now the slut part I can explain. Prostitutes strippers what have you dress a certain way and if you are wearing their uniform what do you expect? Its like someone dressed as a cop and then say oh no I'm just wearing this cause it looks good. How can we tell the difference come on now.
you can't explain it because men can stick it anywhere and won't get named. sex is sex men can't have sex without a woman so whats that make him?
I feel like not being able to protect yourself from predators has nothing to do wih being a woman. If it was such an issue to you learn self defence. For the record I think that it is horrifying that woman should be expected to deal with the threat of predators. The cause are the sick men who do it however not being able to protect yourself is not because you are a woman as woman are just as capable to doing so as men the issue is the shear difference is the number of predators hurting woman compared to men
Dude shutup self defense or not women get attacked daily, the attacking part is still happening. You know how people say it's the thought that counts? Well GUYS shouldn't BE HAVING THOSE KIND OF THOUGHTS. No one should, y'all are nasty. Where's y'all mamas learn some damn respect. If I was y'all mamas I would pay yo bail, hire the best fucking attorney and take you home and just beat the shit outta you for the rest of your life.
If you are implying that I belive that it is acceptable to harass a woman or have thoughts of harassing anyone then I have no time for you. If you belive that all men are nasty and disrespectful then you are sorely mistaken. Women should never get attacked! Don't misconstrue my words.
I like big tits

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.
@cth96190 I don't agree with MGTOW. I mean I fully understand it and do not blame any one for going that route, believe me I don't there is so much bullshit going on that checking out is probably the best form of self preservation you can do as a man, however I think that you end up punishing the woman who are not this way while you have the idiots who are just after easy sex encouraging it who enevitably go and use the woman who would otherwise be a good woman making her more inclined to become bitter. So in the long run it doesn't resolve the issue its just well quiting. I don't want to discourage those who do the right thing so I feel like the best option is to try and seek out the women who are good, who understand and will not screw you over and reward them with a loving relationship rather then leave them to the proverbial wolves as men have been. Again, not criticizing your choice, I get it and don't blame any man who goes that route, its just not for me (good or bad).
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.
body image thing oa the same for us, being compwtitive also exists for men, as for blamed for rape... the reason why ur asked is the same as when they ask what was the rapist wearing- identification trough witnesses or cameras... no one absolutely no one asks this to blame u and trust me everyone hates rapists and would kill one on the spot
yeah sure I understand that this goes for your gender too. but it's just my opinion. Being competitive, sometimes girls are much coarser when it comes to that. lmao us girls can be demonic and get crazy. we'll do crazy shit and think of loco stuff just to tear down the other.
Agreeing with you on that one😂😂
a slut is a girl who has sex with a lot of guys. not a girl who likes sex. also a guy banging a lot of girls isn't bad because it's hard to do... and it's very easy for a girl to bang a lot of guys. ok
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.
Nah, sorry I didn't meant all girls aren't funny, but from my experience, guys are mostly funnier - or idiots- (in general), and girls are more into laughing at jokes than making them :p
I know few funny-interesting girls by the way (all aren't from my country) , but I just noticed that more guys are making efforts to be funny, since girls usually don't need to improve that social skill lol
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.
Are you sure about the thing about being paid less?
Well what if I tell you that i went had an opposite experience than you? last place where I worked had men doing at least 3 times of the work done in the workplace than the women there and we were still undermined, discouraged, and harrased and also paid less for it.
Life is not the same for everyone. If you do have a problem switch jobs.
@RiskMaster Women are paid less for the same work. For example, a 2016 study that analyzed the salaries of 10,241 doctors at public medical schools in the U. S. found that even adjusting for factors such as age, experience, specialty, number of patients seen and amount of research published, male doctors made almost $20,000 more than female doctors annually. Another 2016 analysis concluded that male computer programmers make 28 percent more than female computer programmers, even controlling for such factors as age, education, experience, occupation and industry. And women working in low-wage occupations like child care, fast food or home health care also make less than the men they work beside – typically only 85 cents to a man's dollar.
Did it account for overtime, time off, working hours, or working conditions? Did it accurately adjust for age, experience, specialty, number of patients seen, amount of research published, education, occupation and industry? Did you take the stats from a reliable source or an averages from multiple reliable sources?
And also, $0.85×2> $1.00
@RiskMaster Please, if you want to see for yourself, please look it up through jstor. I can't link sources on here.
You can give me a url. There are thousands of articles on jstor. And the fact that it is. org has me questioning its reliability. You can't take. org websites as completely accurate. Look at wikipedia for instance.
@RiskMaster @RiskMaster I don't know why this is extremely important to you... I'll lightly assume that you do not support gender parity and that's okay. But it is still an actual issue. There are not standalone instances of gender parity and it is not universal. But on average, there are numerous cases of unequal pay between genders. You might remember that this was brought to light in the film industries as women celebrities called out about their unequal pay. There are so many more examples...
Anyway, my post essentially highlighted why the attention shouldn't be brought to periods, but to other issues that plague women that we don't tend to focus on. Periods affect nearly all women, so yes, it's a painful thing to experience but they are beautiful in the long run-to prepare a woman's body for reproduction. That is healthy and encouraged. But stereotyping, abuse, violence, discrimination-those are real problems. Men have their own share of problems as well, and I understand that.
And I agree with what your post was highlighting, just not some of its numbers or facts.
You're right, it is a crime that women get paid less. Literally. Same if you get paid less based on race. But you know what's funny? Women in the UK get paid 1% more than men by the hour. All these problems you're talking about are worthless, minor, social issues.
What about the homicide rate being 80% men? What about 99% of war deaths being men? What about men being forced into drafting?
What about in fields of science? Where women are hired at rates much higher than men, just because there's barely any women in science? If that happens, shouldn't men be preferred in female dominated work? Should we force the sees to mingle better? OK, let's start pushing women to work in the sewers, and construction. Let's turn that 95% of workplace deaths being men, into a 50/50 split
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?
This
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...
And we're not allowed to talk about these issues, because apparently the issues that women have are more important than the issues that men have. :-(
yep 😫
Biased laws is actually a very good one.
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.
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 🤧😥
(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
That people have over-sexualized us in media to the point that things get forced upon us because others with dirty minds can't handle it.
Ex:
A mom feeding their baby in public
A teen girl wearing a shirt that reveals their shoulders and back in school.
Not gonna talk crap though cuz periods are awful, Anon.
The constant pressure to perform (at work, at home, in bed, etc.) I feel that men are expected to do more without gratification. Somethings broken, go fix it. This is too heavy, go lift it. The garbage is full, take it out. There's a very important deadline at work, must work late to meet it. It truly never ends. I also feel like I get judged more for taking a sick day at work more than the opposite sex. Last thing would be the pressure to always perform in the bedroom. There are days when I'm just not into it but if she is then you must do it then because she dictates when it happens.
Also random erections for no reason and the occasional blue balls also suck.
Being strongly admonished, or is it socially enslaved into complying with society's stereotyping when it misrepresents us and gives others prejudicial expectations that neither reflect nor condone the natural personality we have for presenting and expressing the person we are. As individuals, everyone has their own way of processing their thoughts, desires, tastes, perspectives, and especially their own physical characteristics. From infancy, we tend to associate with different things and appearances that we want to be identified with and by. In dictating what it wants people to be like, society has violated our natural agency to choose as our personalities direct. On top of this, society has made non-complying with its stereotypical dictations seem as demented and/or perverted acts or actions to be socially shunned or disciplined until compliance or some type of resolution happens.
Everyone assumes that I am a lesbian because I'm not at all girly or feminine, dress in men's clothing, and prefer activities that are mostly male oriented.
I'm not even biesexual, I'm only into domnante men.
I think "gender" needs to just die already, and let humans be humans. Gender really IS on spectrum. Gender stereotyping hurts everyone when they don't meet society's unrealistic standards of what a "man" should be, and/or what a "woman" should be.
you got quite some points here. especial on the stereotyping part
Not being able to walk around only in my shorts, like men can. Periods too, of course. And I hate it when people think that we girls are slutty if we say that we love having sex.
When you are a woman walking alone at night sounds terrifying. You have a high chance of being harassed, or mugged, or even raped. I've been stalked and followed twice when I was walking alone, I thought I was going to die. Being a man, you aren't nearly as scared.
People not taking me seriously or thinking I don't know a subject extensively just because I'm a girl. Or undermining how good I am at something or how professional I can be.
As a single father , being assumed to be a sex predator , and / or a shit parent , for the heinous crime of being male !! More leeway is given to partnered women at my workplace , than I get , yet I work FT & am a lone parent !! Everyone treats women better than men , on average.
I don't understand the female downvotes... this is the truth , have also noticed that women in customer service roles , tend to be nicer to other women , than towards men.
Well apparently by being a white male I automatically since birth have been a racist, bigoted rapist and am the incarnation of Satan and all evil in the world according to feminists, liberals, special snowflakes and blacks on the left so yeah there's that but o well whatcha gonna do, life goes on.
This is the type of ignorant bullshit we have to deal with all the time.
Other then that it's wonderful being a man.
@feminista Well that's good at least.
and sure I could easily Asian Americans despite making up only a small part of the US population consistently do better then white men in almost all areas. And in general in the world white men are out preformed by Asians in the work place and in school.
I myself grew up in a ghetto in a former drug house alongside blacks and other races and had to fight and work hard to get to where I am today with a education and everything, I mean I had an actual adult job when I was around 10-12.
The only people who think that white male supremacy is an actual issue are the deluded, the ill informed and those who never amounted to anything themselves.
1. Getting hit in the balls.
2. Having to deal with aggressive behavior of other dudes (dudes are waaaaay more violent and aggressive than girls).
3. Parents always get me to do most chores since I'm a guy, I can carry heavy things, I can do other hard things.
4. A lot of girls get 20-30 messages a day... meanwhile I'd be getting about 10 tops (and thats at my peak!) so most dudes are more desperate, therefore setting a rep for all guys as "desperate" which lowers other guys' chances.
5. A man is usually considered as the one who should be working and not lazy.
Being told you can't be sensitive, being hated because of one stranger, being expected to do everything. Being told you can't go through "this" or "that" because you're a guy (I think some guys know what I'm talking about). There's a lot I can think of.
being very judged at for exploring and expressing my sexuality... we get called hoes, sluts for wanting to have sex with a partner that your attractred to but reverse with men its okay.. men dnt accept there own mothers had consntual sex one day to have them... your mothrr likes sex too just like i do..😑
huh?
Every time I'm out walking home or to a friend's house and the sun has gone down, girls in front of me will act really suspicious and keep looking behind them and even try to run ahead or let me in front of them as if I'm some sort of predator.
Assuming something is "manly" and that other things are "girly" and that I can't be a man if I enjoy those "childish, or girly" things. And that I must not be manly if I don't enjoy other "manly" things. i. e. I'm a brony, I write poetry, and I hate zombies/zombie games (unless it's "The Last of Us" because that game was fricken amazing).
I'm not really sure. I don't like the idea of being pregnant but might change my mind as i get older. Lot of people say periods but mine is 3 days and I usual just use pantyliners. rarely get cramps, so not going to say that. I don't like when guys think you are dumb if you look good. I don't like when guys assume im weak or can't play sports. I haven't faced much really bad sexism. maybe because racism is directed at me more? I like being a woman, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with guys either. I love guys, it takes both to make the world go around, like God intended, so I won't say anything bad about males or females.
our balls. no joke.
you sit on them=pain
you get kicked=super pain
skinny jeans and you walk the wrong way=pain
and sometimes they hurt for no reason.
at least with periods its like one week a month and with child birth its like only for a certain amount of time. but with our balls, we men have a constant vulernability, day in, day out, we are never safe
1. balls hurt for no reason all the time
2. Women assume I'm a bad person because I'm a man
3. Ultra hardcore feminist shit
4. Always expected to be more than what I am with a "Be A Man"
5. In this day and age if i hit a girl when she hits me 3 times before or more it's instantly "rape" or "assault" and my ass gets in trouble while a bitch pretty much gets off free.
6. (this is for both genders probabay but wanted to say it anyway) I'm constantly harrased because I'm asexual.
i would saying dating is pretty hard, because people tend to want to much form people they don't know. yes I'm a woman, yes I'm single, no I'm not desperate, no i don't want you to pay for me you might get the wrong idea. just because you buy my dinner you might think I'm obligated to sleep with you or something.
Men tend to be infamous for many things among women, almost none of which are true for me. It sometimes makes me feel shame for being the same gender as those people disgracing and insulting the male gender. Gentle men like myself are spoken of very lightly.
3 different Periods.
1) Every day
2) Once every fortnight (5 days more specifically)
3) Once a month.
Let's just say my underwear is my pad.
Then there's pelvic pain as a result of the periods similar to pregnancy.
Then there's the mess.
The pain of having to rip off your thing stuck to your underwear (like a brazillian waxing)
The inconvenience of split streaming the mess when it happens not being able to stand up and pee because of it not being able to sit down because the boys are so disgusting.
Not much mans life
-Being told i have privileges when i clearly don't
-Being called sexist when im winning an argument or discussion
-The law mistreats men and let's women get off easy
-Disgustingly high suicide rates
-More homeless men even though people help out homeless women more when they make up much less of the homeless population
-Harder time finding a part time job because employees are looking for practically all female employees so they aren't labelled as sexist
I'm sure i can think of more.
Well I hate that I have boobs they're too big and periods are the worst it's meant to be 1 week out of 4 mines 3 weeks out of 4
@Kaylyne yes they last for 3 weeks and I have seeked medical attention numerous times they just brush me off it's been four years
@Louise1997 Have you not seeked out getting a second or even a third opinion?
What about seeing your gynecologist?
@Kaylyne I've tried and I don't have a gynaecologist trust me if I could do something to make it stop I would, the only thing I could think of is going to private doctors but that's way too expensive therefore I just suffer instead
can you at least do a complete blood picture to exclude any blood disease and to make sure you are not anaemic this could be serious
@lumos You're the second one to get me mixed up with @Louise1997 the actual opinion owner.
But thank you anyway for your wonderful concern, it's so nice to know that we are at least looking out for each other. xxx
@nonaa87 I wonder if it's possible for you to follow and make contact with @Louise1997 to see if you can offer any help and advice for this very serious health issue she has.
Stereotypes - such as, an older man with a young child, instantly most people think pedophile. Or False rape accusations, your always guilty until proven innocent. Or numerous other things
Can't just be friends with a girl without everyone thinking you want to bang her. And if you don't everyone thinking you're gay. on a different note it would seem that both men and women feel their genitals suck. And that the other gender lack understand in and empty for them. So it seems that the major problem girls and guys have for each other is that we lack understanding of what it's like to be one another. In a judgmental society with high expectations
My period is the worst thing about being a girl. I have a medical condition that makes them very painful. I throw up, I'm dehydrated, sometimes I pass out. Then I get to do it all over again, month after month.
Being sexually worthless. Now I know that sounds harsh, but the point still stands that it is much harder for the average male to have sex than it is for virtually any female. Whereas any female can have sex whenever she wants with whomever she wants, only the top percentile of men are afforded the same privilege whereas the vast majority of us have to work really hard in order to have sex. We are rejected more often than we are accepted and that is something I do not think women understand.
- Periods
- Pregnancy
- The fact that every time I'm out a bit late I'm worried that I might get raped
- Unrealistic beauty standards (but I guess men feel that too)
- Being underestimated because I'm a woman
periods
the vagina's white liquid and how it ruins your favorit panties.
pregnancy
waxing, shaving for a smoother skin.
when boobs are swollen and become painful
having to deal with hungry guys
agreed *sighs*
1. Being disposable
2. Being the more attracted gender
3. being the approachers
4. The lack of support from society and peers
5. Being more sexually driven and less able to get some.
6. Our most attractive qualities being what we earn and achieve rather than us.
7. Needing to prove ourself as men, where women simply are.
8. Recieving longer sentences for the same crimes
9. more likely to be abused
10. 75% more likely to become homeless than women.
I wish I was a woman

Society expecting us to be the emotionless bread winners providing for women whilst the steal and steal until we die. Expecting us to Labour in menial jobs and blaming us for the "pay gap". Calling us sexist pigs for not willingly being slaves to women who think they can boss men around while sitting on their asses.
How the courts treat men in divorce cases, how the police assume a women's harassment complaint is valid without interviewing the men, and when a girlfriend withholds intimacy as a tool or reward for compliance.
The worst thing is with the advancements in womens rights, we are expected to be the very same as men in every conceivable way but backwards and in heels and lipstick. So i think increasingly women have the worst of both worlds; all that traditionally made womanhood hard (pregnancy, childbirth, periods, hormones, waxing etc) and now all that makes life hard for a man (their responsibilities providing, the expectation to be a success in the world, have a great career)
Public service announcement: All of the girls here complaining about having periods should really talk to a doctor about birth control which eliminates all periods.
As far as what's bad about being a man, probably the fact that we're gross/undatable if we try gay sex, while girls who try gay sex are "hot" and just messing around.
Other than the physiological stuff, nothing really. I'm a woman living in the U. S. We really don't have any problems here like women in other parts of the world. A woman can be whatever she wants to be here.
If I had to complain, PMS would be my primary complaint lol
I don't hate having a period at all, but i guess it can be a bit problematic. No matter what i do, some how or someway, I will always end up having an accident. It's impossible to sleep with a period and its impossible to walk with pads without the thing shifting. I tried the diva cup but the bloody thing hurts, plus i find it gross to be honest.
Usually being called a creep just for approaching a woman, and all women assuming that I want to be more than a freind just cause I'm a guy. If I want to be more than her friend. She will know about it.
Finding it harder to get laid though I know that's because it's more risky for women because where bigger (I can empathise a bit as I don't like being around strangers that look noticeably stronger than me) and there's the stupid slut shaming stuff from religious groups and jaded men and jealous women.
Where likely to die earlier (I'm someone that would like to live well into their 100s)
Worrying about seeming creepy especially when i'm old.
male pattern baldness (though at least hair surgery is becoming increasingly viable).
I can see we both have bad points and over all even with the liveing longer part I don't think Id trade.
Probably the fact that a lot of men treat us like we're sex objects, sexual harassment is a massive issue that really gets to me. That's the only thing I hate about being a woman.
Sexual harassment is no joke but now ultra aggressive feminism has shamed many men into being overly nice, passive and pleasing. Also something you don't want.
@somewheresomeway
Yeah I don't care about that and it's not really relevant, I was asked what I don't like about being female and I answered.
Alright
@ClassyMe it's not inaccurate, the amount of unsolicited sexual advances I get on social media and sometimes even in person is appalling. I get weekly unwanted dick pics inboxed to me on Facebook, if I'm chatting to a guy and it's 100% clean chat he just starts being sexual when it was uncalled for. I have been groped by my mechanic, I have been groped on public transport, The other day I was walking to the shops and a guy kept asking me if I wanted a lift, I said no and he kept a going on about how we'll have "steamy" time together.. so yes, this most certainly is 100% true. I didn't say all men, I said a lot of men and it's true because it happens all the time.
@ClassyMe oh and I don't hate men, I never said anything about hating men. I hate how a lot of men treat me, I don't dress provocatively or let off any sort of signal I want them in any way.. not that that would make their behaviour ok anyway. So yeah, I don't hate men.. men are great if they treat women with respect and the ones that don't, I don't hate them either.. I just feel sorry for them that they're such losers.
Then that means you're on the wrong websites. Just because you have had a personal bad experience on some websites or few instants in real life doesn't give you the right to dehumanize and sexualize men. Not all men are bad LITERALLY. Not every man treats women like sex toys. The ones you described are clearly trolls or just horny online losers. The guy who said that y'all will "have a steamy time together" was either drunk, extremely horny, or just flat out sketchy. Not every man is a rapist. Women need to stop acting like they're 2nd class citizens, all men are sexist, women are superior, or that every guy is a horny dick who users women as sex toys.
That's good that you don't dress provocatively. I'm sorry you were treated that way but I still think it's unfair to say that a lot of men are bad somehow. Also so far as treating each other with respect that's a 2 way street. Both the man and the woman have to treat each other with respect not just the guy. Also calling men "such losers" is sexist and is a bit much. Those particular men you encountered harshly then yeah but not a lot of men.
@ClassyMe I'm not even sure where to start...
the only men I have called losers are the ones who have treated me or treat women disrespectfully.
I always treat people with respect.
I never once said all me, I said a lot of men which is true because this happens to me a lot.
Do not make excuses for sexual harassment. "He as drunk, extremely horny or flat out sketchy" why are you making excuses for his shitty behaviour! m? That's disgusting.
I never said anything about men being second class citizens, I literally said I love men's and I think they're great... except the ones who treat me poorly.
Get off your high horse sweetheart, I don't even get why you're mad lol I am talking about a specific type of guy and I made sure not to say all men are like that but hey, you're the kind of person who makes excuses for sexual harassment so what did I expect?
I'm not making excuses for sexual harassment. I know that they happen but there has to be a reason or motive why. The ones I've noticed either had a reason or didn't realize they were doing it because they were under some sort of influence. So that's why I asked maybe one of those. Now if the guy was doing it just because then he's sexist. I wasn't there so I couldn't read the body language and tell you. I totally get what you were saying but when I was typing I only saw the first comment of yours not the second half. I just wish you put " a lot of the men I've encountered personally" instead of a lot of men. Do you see where I'm coming from. I never said anything about men being 2nd class citizens at all. I know that you said that.
listen, I now have no respect for you because you make excuses for sexual harassment so don't tell me what to say or how to say it. I stand by what I said, a lot of men treat women like sex objects. I didn't say all, I didn't say most.. I said a lot which means a large number so yes sweetheart, a large number of men do treat mean like sexual objects. Run along now.
I said "maybe" they were under he influence not that they for sure were. Again I don't know because I wasn't there so I can't answer to the motive. I don't make excuses for sexual harassment. I literally told you the guys that I've seen not all guys. Also sexual harassment is real and is not acceptable but what I wondered was the motive behind it. Is that a problem to question things? If that incident similar to that guy happens again just get the license plate and report the driver. It's that simple and as for the guys on the websites just block them. There are some bad guys out there and I'm sorry that you've encountered them but I am just saying if you statement was worded a bit differently then I'd agree with you. You're losing credability by attitude just saying.
@ClassyMe ok I'm not reading passed the first line. "Maybe they were under the influence" IS MAKING EXCUSES. How do you lot get that? You are saying that he was acting that way because maybe he was drunk or extremely horny, that does not make it ok!!!
If a man rapes a woman would you say, maybe he was under the influence?
@ClassyMe i never said it didn't go both ways lol wtf? I was asked what I don't like about being female so I answered. I have no said anything wrong but you just want to attack me with your PC crap.
A lot of men treat women like sexual objects, that's just a fact sweetheart. If I said all or most then you'd have a leg to stand on with your argument but you don't. Move on.
How the heck are you comparing that to rape? Rape is disgusting and traumatic. People have committed suicied over being raped. If a man rapes a woman I would say he was wrong just like if a woman rapes a man I would say it was wrong. Majority don't think rape is acceptable especially those with morals. If you continued to read you would have seen were I said that's what I've personally noticed.
I didn't attack you. You're the one giving me names so if anyone is PC it's you. I told you why I disagreed. My issues wasn't the statement period it was how it was worded. I said if you included "I personally have experienced" then I would 100% agree with you but the statement came off the wrong way to me a bit. Some men do treat women like sex toys and so do some women. A lot of men in your case and I'm sorry you go through that but the guys I know majority are decent. Does this usually only happen to you or has it happened to some of your friends? If it's happened to multiple women then I'd say it's where you live. If it's just happening to you then something is definitely wrong.
@ClassyMe I know exactly how disgusting and traumatic rape is, you don't need to tell me. I was not comparing the two I was just trying to make you understand that a man making sexual advances on a women is never ok when the women has clearly stated she doesn't want it.
If I say no to man then he should leave me alone, it doesn't matter if he is extremely horny or if he is drunk. You are making it sound like it's ok for men to sexually harass women if there is a good reason for it. It's never ok!! Don't you get that, the reason behind it doesn't matter. IT'S NEVER OK!!!
you need to stop speaking to me, it is absolutely fucking appalling that you would sit there and make excuses for men sexually harassing women and of not fucking say you aren't because questioning why and saying maybe he was drunk is making an excuse.
Leave me alone because people like you disgust me.
I literally just asked if it's happened to just you or other women. I also literally just went on explaining how rape isn't okay and you're still yelling? Oh gosh... wel at least we can agree that rape is completely wrong. Yeeesh chill out with the caps we get it sexual harassment isn't okay. Nobody said that it was okay. I literally also said that I've noticed that where I am. I didn't say those are the only reasons why period. Instead of knit picking around if you kept reading what I said then things would make sense. If you get harassed next time then just report it... like seriously.
@ClassyMe you've actually really pissed me off, that guy followed me in his car trying to talk to me, I politely said no and he kept going on going, I didn't have anywhere to go other than to continue walking. He made me feel scared, unsafe, u comfortable and cornered. But maybe he was drunk or extremely horny so what ever right?
on let me ask you this. What if he was drunk or extremely honey? Then what?
Horny**
I'm sorry you've had such bad experiences with men. It's horrible and you are right, I'm a man and I can tell you as well that a lot of men view women as sexual objects. Pay no attention to that girl she makes no sense and I can see how you're saying she is making excuses for sexual harassment. There is no excuse, I have been extremely horny and I have been extremely drunk and sometimes a mixture of the two but if a woman say no to me then that means no.
@Bencio Thank you!! I was going crazy trying to explain it to her. I can't fathom her train of thought in questioning why a man would sexually harass a woman but on the other hand not wonder why a rapist would rape. Both forms of sexual harassment but in her books a man may have good reason behind one, just because it not as bad as the other. I'm glad someone has the mind to understand this.
@Bencio It's obvious she knows she is wrong seeing as se stopped responding all of a sudden.
@pretty-kitty it was 3am so I went off to bed. However to answer your question if he was really just horny then he's a loser who needs to get over himself and stop that kind of behavior. He needs to learn to control his hornyness. If he was so drunk to the point were he was unaware of what he was doing then he's still wrong. However he wouldn't have any control because he wouldn't be aware of the behavior and wouldn't realize that he was sexually harassing you. The guy who stalked you though sounds like a straight up pervert and I would have dropped kicked him right then and there. I am understanding what you're saying even I said the behavior wasn't okay. For the millionth time I SAID SEXUAL HARRASMENT IS WRONG. Bloody hell women can be difficult.
@ClassyMe another thing, so ok you never question why someone would rape a woman but you question why someone would follow someone doesn't the street and yell out disgusting things and not leave her alone.. at what point do you stop questioning why a guy behaved in such a way? They're both sexual harassment, yes one much worse than the other but at what point do you draw the line?
@ClassyMe You are right, woman can be difficult. Kitty has explained it many time and you still don't get it.
If you make the excuse that a drunk guy might not know what he is doing when he is sexually abusing a woman then you should apply the same logic to rape. If he is drunk he might not know it's rape. So does that make either act ok? You said it doesn't do why make excuses for their bahviour?
Kitty, I understand what you are saying. You don't need to keep explaining yourself to someone like this.
@Bencio It's funny how a man can understand and agree yet a woman can't.
Periods, pregnancy, guys who unrespect us... But I'm proud of being female, I mean, we can bleed during days and we don't die, we can push a big and fat baby out of our vaginas and we still alive, we're so strong and brave!
It's "disrespect" not "unrespect". And men can bleed for days without dying. Anyone that has a sufficient amount of blood and is losing minor amounts of blood each day that consumes enough in order to produce more blood can bleed so long as they don't lose too much blood that their body parts start losing oxygen, causing them to suffocate and eventually die or get an infection that causes their death.
@RiskMaster Ok, that's a really good answer. And sorry for say "unrespect" instead of "disrespect", it was a mistake.
That's fine. Just trying to correct one grammatical error and make sure it's brought to your attention.
1. Periods (I don't get emotional though since I'm already not an emotional person. However PMS sucks for sure) 2. Other girls annoy the crap out of me (I get along way easier with guys). 3. Me not relating to a lot of topics that other girls talk about. 4. Other girls are too much drama and too emotional
