I never identified with all of this stuff making it seem that men are the victims in society. It’s usually men who have little to no experience in women or men who are insecure in themselves that will be the ones to say how men have it tough in dating or sex. The same behavior can probably be seen on the women’s side as well. I just think it depends on the person, rather than broad statements on the sexes. I’m sure there are some men whom I share a good amount of viewpoints with, but I think there are more men who I disagree with on a lot of things. I’ve always thought that people saying men have it tougher was more based on some bias spawned from emotions rather than a honest or logical examination of the situation.

Both men or women have their own societal pressures. That feminist with 'our fundamental ideology of Masculinity' was just her another stealth attempt at demonizing masculinity in general. They call it Toxic Masculinity.

Having to be always emotionally & mentally strong might be the only pressure depending on the perspective. That's because mental health issues are on the rise and wanting to be strong men don't seek help. Other than both genders men and women should be emotionally, mentally & psychologically strong. Women also need to be raised to be mentally and emotionally stronger.

That is so true and so unfair. Men need more love and to be appreciated a lot more than they currently are and not be treated like robots that women just flash out in public and on social media just to make single women jealous.

[Deydey12345]

No.
They are just pussy starved.

Plus, there's no competition between men, so no pressure..

I agree to an extend at least to how they are chosen for dating anyway. I aim to say that for every 10 men that is willing to date a girl 1 girl is willing to date them. Girls can be very selective for the same reasons that were listed under the societal pressures, … girls please correct me if I am wrong here

[GuidoThePizzaMaker]

Yes and why is that a bad thing?
I think men need to fulfill their natural God given roles. Those include, being a protector, a provider and a father.
If they can do all those 3 things most men will be happy. Its all the extra non-masculine expectation that really pressures men.

[mistixs]

How is it flawed to expect men to fulfill their God-given roles? (Regarding financial provision, see Exodus 21:10 & Prov 19:14, & regarding strength, see Neh 4:14)

There is no question men face much more societal pressure than women.

What the Nikita user said in that exchange is spot on and what the other user (kristal castles) said is typical of the female mindset today... blame everything on "patriarchy", thereby blaming everything on men and absolving women of any fault or responsibility, which is ridiculous. The problem is women's sexist attitudes toward men and their unwillingness to change, not the patriarchy.

[fueledbythc]

i can feel it but i dont give a single fuck about what people think of me. i do what i want and if people want to judge me, i won't acknowledge it. im very blunt because of this. if i see bullshit i call it out instantly.

[LegendarySir]

It's not a competition. Both genders face societal pressure based on their gender, sometimes we face the same. We should address both.

[tartaarsaus]

I'm wondering right now what societal pressure I'm supposed to feel.

[esotericstory]

No they are not. Our views of masculinity are not flawed at all.

[esotericstory]

If there ever was a patriarchal system created, it has not been by men's supremacy, but by women's apathy for culture, art, civilization and politics.

[CoffeeWC]

Men have it pretty hard when it comes to societal pressures.

[Hurdleez-Swampede]

Only in terms of expectations. If men just didn't give a crap what others thought, then no.

[Wowgirl30q]

Pfffffffffff maybe liberals.

[omgjassy]

If Nikita says so it must be true

[DDpsy]

Yes. And that is exactly how things should be.

[Scarecrow13]

In the ways described yes.
