Men Explain to Women Why They’d Hate Being a Man

Some women believe we live in a patriarchy. Some men believe we live in a matriarchy. Me? I think it’s somewhere inbetween, albeit leaning a bit towards women, with both genders having advantages and disadvantages. However, we incessantly hear from women about the disadvantages of being their gender, but the reverse is rarer. You don’t hear a lot of men telling women what they’d hate about being a man. However, there was an entire thread on Reddit called, “Tell me some reasons why a woman would hate being a man?” A lot of people may be interested to see the other side of the coin.

— The biggest thing I can think of is the weight of expectations. Be emotionally strong; be physically strong; make the first move, but not too assertively; make a career; make good decisions…. all with practically zero training or support from society at large. If you’re lucky, you had a good dad. If not…

— Self beautification will not be appreciated and may in some cases cost you social status.

  1. No compliments from anyone, like maybe twice a year tops.

  2. Any show of emotion outside of a romantic relationship is only going to grant you isolation from your peers.

This stuff doesn’t bug me much since it’s essentially the water I swim in, but I would imagine it’d be a shock.

— In the event of an emergency your life is worth less than the women and children near you.
