Why is it still deemed necessary for a man to be brave while for a woman is optional?

[Anonymous]

Meanwhile society still pushes on men to be brave and take risks in life (he gets criticized if he's commitment phobic on anything... no one likes a coward) but if a woman is brave and takes risks then it's optional. She's praised for being a brave woman but isn't criticized harshly if she doesn't do it.

Why are things still like that even in this time? It's not changing.

Man bails on friends in crisis... he's criticized so badly. Woman bails on friends in crisis... she can be criticized too but not as harsh as the man.

Because few people actually want it to be different. Oh, they TALK a good game, but when it comes to actually struggling against gender-based social norms? You'll find out REAL quick who you can and can't rely on to have your back.

Guys are supposed to be the great protector. It requires courage at times.

Because it is basic biology. Men are meant to be brave and take risks

True and sometimes life seems unfair. My own younger brother said it himself (both when he was 12 and recenly) that he would rather die taking a bullet for me than letting me do the same thing for him. I would do the same for him but he would push me out of the way and not let me do it. So basically no matter how much of equality has been obtained, some things don't ever change.

Yes because equality itself is a lie. Men and women are different. Like apples are oranges.
