Why does our society say that men are of no value and must earn their place while women have intrinsic value from the beginning?

When we look at society at the beginning of a young boy's life he is told by society that he has no value.

He must show earn his value by working hard in school, going to the gym to build muscles, accumulating resources, forming strong social network and when all that is done a girl will decide if he has met her requirements for a relationship.
Why does our society say that men are of no value and must earn their place while women have intrinsic value from the beginning ?

On the flip side. While a man is slaving away building his castle. Our society sees no problem with a girl just being allowed to enter the castle gates, with a carpet rolled out for her. In other words many women just expect that when a man has put himself in a good position that they do not need to show their worth to him because they are already worthy from being born with a vagina. They can enter his life at any time and be worthy for a relationship despite not being there for him when he was working building his castle.

  • Women are inherently more Machiavellian in how they approach the world, men aren't. For this reason alone society isn't as tuned to your average ditch digging male or dude working at McDonalds, because he hasn't got the social know-how to advance without advancing.

    Maybe this will clear it up for you better than I can say it, though. It might make you feel better. It's a bit melodramatic (if not accurate) but that third paragraph is the one to look out for:

  • Because sperm is cheap and plentiful. Eggs and wombs are not.

    • Considering there are nearly 4 billion girls and women on the planet, this is a borderline idiotic statement.

    • @intraluminal this is stupid. Equally important

  • the above statement I don't think is true. girls have to work hard to get the man they want as well they have to look good they have to work out. it is the same for both. but if you really want to play that card why is it that when women get that man in the good position and get married she becomes a slave for the rest of her life doing nothing but catering to him and his offspring.

    • "she becomes a slave for the rest of her life doing nothing but catering to him and his offspring." Ah the reverse of that happens. In fact with women having the threat of divorce it's the man who becomes a woman's slave.

    • the guy has the same options.

    • No he does not. With the threat of divorce as a trigger finger a man basically has the option of keeping his wife happy or face her filing for divorce and leaving him financially ruined.

  • People who say that are sexist.
    I believe everyone has value, and a woman should earn hers for her SO and a man should earn his for his SO.
    Society tends to place... high expectations for standards upon people, and women are trying to fight for EQUAL equal rights, but they're going at it the wrong way.

  • Oh yeah... that's TOTALLY what's happening. Women are just valued SO highly www.huffingtonpost.com/.../...mesti_n_5927140.html

  • are ugly women valuable in society? what about obese women?

  • I have no idea with this concept, I've studied hard and will continue to do so, in which I expect whoever I end up with to be in a similar financial position, mautarity level and work ethic as me.

  • "At the beginning of a young boy's life he is told by society that he has no value." I have never met this person named "society" but, whoever they are, they definitely have their head up their butt!

  • Maybe because in the past it was the opposite way around

  • Huh, I don't think we live in the same society.

  • i don't see it that way actually.

  • Our society is still infantile compared to enlightened individuals.

  • Evolutionary reasons. One men can impregnate hundreds and thousands of women thus a mans life is based a lot more on competition and is a lot more disposable.

    Thus a woman has worth on the merit of existing, being healthy and fertile. Men do need to compete and prove their worth. Men do have other advantages in life that women do not have though and thus it balances itself out.

    • And as an example for one of the trade-offs: In return a man is judged by who he is and what he achieved biologically. Women aren't. Women are judged on something they have little control over aka their genetics on looks, fertility and health. Something that they can influence at best and is a fading feature aka by the time the reach their 40s its almost all gone.

  • because women can have babies.

  • Everybody is of no value until they start becoming productive and even better , noticeably productive.

  • it´s just sexism at it´s finest ^^ don´t expect feminism to step in to change that double standard xD they are all busy victimizing women for nothing.

  • Because men=bad
    women=good

    All men are is a walking dildo with a wallet

  • Er, it says that? News to me.

  • Because women are closer to god because they can love Jesus, wheras for men that would be gay

  • I do not listen to society lol

  • I do not let society tell me what to do. When I do something, because I want to. Not a follower.

  • Women have to do twice as much to get half the recognition for anything other than "you're hot".

    • Are you for real? Because i see more people praising women for any accomplishment they achieve on social media/real life. While no one gives a fuck about what males achieve these days. On a side note. We have many employers/universities having special bias to hire women/have female only scholarship to encourage more young women to get into the university. Despite the fact that less men are graduating, more men are falling behind in school but we don't address these things because males today are seen as expendable.

    • I'm not in the mood to argue. All I'm going to say is, to the vast majority of society, women should still go back to the kitchen.

    • @asker. Would u rather be a woman? If your answer is no, ... Few men would rather be a woman, a lot of woman would rather be a man.. What does THAT say?
