Game: Can you name a problem that your gender is facing without putting other genders down?

[msmissydc]

Lets play a little game. Name a problem that your gender faces. DONT be hateful towards others be respectful and try to listen to others. This is NOT a competition but a way to talk and maybe find help. Liston to others and maybe you will know in the future, how to better accept them. There will be things called out here that are perception based. Maybe reply to these in a way that makes the writer feel they are not alone and accepted.
- An excample: It is often said by guys, that their mental health is ignored, because they are not allowed to show emotions or weakness. Maybe they have made experiences that way. Lets show them the majority of us accepts these emotions and they dont have to hide. Crying as a guy is not seen as weakness by most women but a way to see you as human!!! Every person has emotions why hide them?

- Also pls accept that everything here can be an opinion and a personal experience.
- Not all guys and not all women are the same!
- If you state facts name a source or say its your own experience.
- Yes this question will not change the world but we have to start somewhere.

Society is just messed up period. Men have to act like this, women have to act like that. That's a man's job , that's a woman's job. Women have to wear makeup ( nope) , men have to be tall and strong with beards. Then we end up generalizing each other. Crazy world we live in.

You mean sex.
I can't name one really I'm not denying the typical ones named but such things like in your example that's just simply untrue from my experience. I've never had someone IRL seriously tell me I shouldn't cry because men don't or any other bullshit like that.

[msmissydc]

I also never told anyone or heard anyone say, that one should not cry but I had lot of guys tell me they can't show emotions because they are seen as weak then.

[msmissydc]

You can not name a single problem you face because of your gender or sex?

[Kaneki05]

Not really. Even my Grandma on my dad side who's traditional once a christian now a witness, she's racist and welp you can guess her views on other things even she never caused me any grief. The rest of my family are all pretty progressive and everyone around my age I've met has always had progressive views.
There was a random time with a dickhead who claimed a pink bag (by the way it was from Game a store here that sells video games) was gay but he was a drunk dickhead which I wouldn't really class as society pressure because what are people really gonna take a drunk seriously? And it didn't impact me any further.

In my experiences it's always a minority that bring up such views that has never actually made any real world impact on me.

Primarily in the USA, men Are not stepping up as good dads. The demise of the family is the demise of the nation. I believe we are a nation in decline and one of the primary reasons is because many men are not taking care of their responsibilities as a father.

I'm not saying it's all the man's fault but it's a large contributor.

[Guy13]

Whiners and cry babies who have never suffered like previous generations. Lack of sacrifice to be an American male or even Western world male as I see it.

Testicular torsion is definitely a problem facing men.

Here is an educational video on this important subject:

I would say guys lacking the confidence to talk to women

[RealMarek]

Affirmative action and ESG targets are making it way more difficult for men to find work in some professions than they used to.

[CateM]

Slut-shaming. It seems that more women are slut-shaming other women than men

I can't, but the video can.

Men are becoming more feminine and less masculine by nature. Men are showing more weakness mentally and emotionally.

[nawtee_me]

I loose already because there is only two genders and the others are just names people want to be called...

The draft. Mental Health. Toxic Masculinity.

Don’t expect someone to be some ideal version of yourself. Let people do what they want, be what they want.

[Snakeyes7]

The laws behind marriage are total bullshit and completely defeats the purpose.
