What do you hate the most about being a man?

Postby PorkChop » Oct 20, '13, 5:11 pm

Here's a few I can think of, I'm sure I'll think of a couple more later though. I've been thinking about this for the last couple of days, as one of my lecturers (who has had several articles and books published on feminism) said that women can't be sexist towards men. It started off a lot of shit in the class, but she stood by her opinion.

Some things I hate about being a man:

- If you're upset, depressed, in pain - "Man up and get over it"
- Huge gender gap in regards to cancer research (I read prostate cancer research gets 20 times less funding in the UK than breast cancer research, despite being equally as common)

As I said, I'll probably have a few other ideas later.

The prostate cancer statistic does suck. My Dad is battling with prostate cancer at the moment, so that's something that hits home with me.

The first thing that came to mind for me though is clothes. There's just no range out there for what guys can wear. There's far less clothes shops and not a large variety in most of them. I find myself getting bored wearing the same stuff all the time. That's one thing that I reckon must be better about being a woman.

Of course, there's a flip side to that too - it comes with more societal pressure to look good all the time, which would be a negative for sure.

Agree with both of your points. I do think sensitivity and care towards men with depression has grown considerably well over the years, though. At least where I'm from.

I hate the fact that I have to shave more or less everyday. I remember being excited with my facial hair when I was 15-16. Fucking dread it now. :lol

Having the pressure of being the bread-winner of the family (not experienced that role but dreading it!) as I'm lazy I feel!

But also having the pressures of society and your own community to conform to what someone of my age should be doing. "Oh, he should be doing this or that". Or one of my cases, I should know everything about cars and be interested in them when I'm not even though I've passed.

I hate shaving. I always trim with an electric beard trimmer and shave if I have to for special occasions.

I hate how women say men are perverts when women think more perverted thoughts, talk about really sexual stuff with their friends, and take slutty pictures. Yet we are the perverts. A woman can do something and its sexy, a guy does it hes a creep and a perv. I don't get how men are the pervs. Damn double standards.

Always being expected to know everything about anything that's broken.
Facial hair is a bitch
The whole "man up" things gets annoying from time to time
Ball sacks can be a hassle most of the time, allways getting in the way somehow or getting stuck to the side of your leg at the most inopportune moments when you know at least 5 people will see you adjust the sack, haha

Dude, you don't have to shave every day. Just grow a mean beard.

Anyway, I guess I would go for it being harder to pick up chicks than it is for chicks to get guys.

As a middle class, American, Christian white male I would have to say that I am sick of being given unfair treatment when it comes to job searches, wages, sexuality and the law.

When women expect us to be in great shape, and yet they overweight as fuck. Least how it is around here.

I find it hard to complain about anything. Life in general is just easier and better if you're a man. Especially if you're a good one.

Minimal grooming (no makeup and shit)
I don't need to shove things into my private parts
Don't get upset or aggravated by things that simply don't matter
Easier to make friends and casual acquaintances.
Only need one pair of shoes for each purpose so I have more money for beers and video games.

All the time I attempt to grow a beard it gets itchy and irritating as fuck. Besides, I look like a freak with facial hair.

I am expected to know about cars. I could give a fuck about cars. If you hand me a part to an engine I can disassemble the thing and replace it than put it back together, But ask me whats wrong with it and unless it's out of gas I don't have a clue. Also someone having a '68 Mustang means absolutely dick to me. To me there is no difference practicality wise between that and my 2003 Malibu. Only mine gets better millage and can hold five people.
