Social What's worst thing about being a man?

[mozfonky]

Other men looking to start fights or otherwise be adversarial towards you.

the expectation that we dont have or are uncomfortable talking about feelings.

The expectation we dont have an affinity for looking after kids, or doing housework. Im a champion level cook abd cleaner and I love kids.

The fact most powerful people in the world are men, even though your average guy is just a peon schlub like anyone else. The patriarchy is a real thing, but it doesn't mean that your average working class dude isnt a mook just like everyone else just because they've got a dick.

Being labeled a brute when you get angry and having people, especially women, understandably uncomfortable or distrustful of you due to the previous actions of meathead dudes.

you covered alot for me, I'd through the media in as far as women's fear of men, that's a good part of it. Women are gullible and easily led if they trust a source.

Men are constantly competing and adversarial, to the point where most men would rather shoot themselves in the foot than help both of us.

The kids part is generally true, not that I don't like kids but the bulk of it is on women in most cases I'm aware of.

I'd have to ad my own personal idiosyncracies, being native american, although I could maybe pass for white, not that I want to, as soon as people know that I'm indian it conjures up all manner of stuff in their minds and being quiet by nature, they fill that with all sorts of bullshit to be wary or scary of. I shouldn't complain, I'm not in my own tribal homeland where there is a real caste system at work and the men are mindfucked into being useless fucks and despised by friend family and foe. It's a culture shock going there. Also, in manner, being native was to actually not be competitive and see a lot of that as psychopathic and thus it took me a lot of years to stop other people from just running over my boundaries and taking advantage of me. I'm at the point now where I'm actually pretty nasty and I never thought or wanted to end up like this but folks made me this way.

As far as most men not being alpha, that's true. I watched a recent analysis of the mouse utopia and in comparison to us, only a few are alpha and hoard resources, the rest are left out (incels, losers, whatever you may) and unlike out in nature, we can't run off somewhere, the city or system has us trapped, or at least that was the analysis and what turns us into crazy, competitive rat racing competitive dog eat dog, people. Lots of truth in that study. Eventually the mouse utopia always fell apart no matter how many adjustements they tried to make, and here we are.

Just like women are stereotypically expected to cook and clean, men are expected to provide the resources for everyone’s needs in order to keep up with the everyone else.

The financial burden is constant and basically never ends.

that's right, and we aren't allowed to really be men, more like boys in the pursuit of those ends. We all get shit on daily in the work world. Women can sit on their asses and not be called bums but they aren't treated nearly as badly in many jobs unless you count sexual harassment or their treatment by other women. Women are nasty to each other in the workworld, utterly vile.

Listening to women.

there you go, they can't shut the fuck up. As soon as I hear, "so and so celeb was a woman beater" I think, "well, what did she say to cause it" of course women will groan about that but they don't know how to shut the fuck up and stop yapping. Like sean connery told barbara.

I know, where that comes from, nature, nurture, hollywood, i don't know but I'm gladly single. I even have to deal with second hand shit from married men I know, used to dogging their puppyheaded husbands and I have to take a bit of that when around, not too much.

I don't know if it's the worst, but I hate being associated with other white American dudes. I have a shaved head with a beard and tattoos, and a lot of people assume I'm just a racist Proud Boy or something. I've even had random people ask if I had swastika tattoos or other Nazi shit, which is just insane to ask someone you don't know lol. It's like no, I started going bald at a young age and just decided to embrace it and shave me noggin.

Yea kinda.

I'm a skinhead with no crew and people dont know shit about the culture and assume I'm a nazi. I've had people try to start shit in traffic over blasting oi before and had to laugh that it would be a real shame to bring such violence into the world over an incorrect assumption.

But it is fun to win your co workers money when you make them a bet about if black skinheads exist ...so there's that. And it's kinda fun to teach people that everything they thought is actually wrong.

 

[Gutter Chris]

The worst thing about being a man is the never ending responsibility for everything and everyone in your sphere of influence. There's no days off and people depend on you and if you get hurt or sick or are just slow and not on top of shit other people suffer for it

When I was young I'd say I don't want to be a man I want to be thee man. I got my wish in a lot of ways and somedays ( Monday morning especially) it's hard to be the person I said I am and will be.

 

[Fedorgasm]

It's probably different for everyone but one thing that always bothered me is that people don't trust you around children.

I love kids but nobody wants a man to be around their children. Like there's very few male kindergarten teachers, male nannies, etc.

I was on a plane once sitting behind this 3-4 year old kid who was kinda misbehaving, so we started making funny faces at each other and I kept that kid occupied for like half an hour. Then the mom finally turned around and saw me and she made the kid sit still and face forward again.

I'm like, Not every grown man is a child molester, dammit! Yet we all kinda get treated like one.

Working in the arts. Thankfully the gays love me so they stick up for me, which helps because Toronto is just full of man hate.

 

[Cyrano200]

The never-ending burden of financial responsibility. I have a good job, make low 6 figures plus my military retirement, but the world makes it seem like it's never enough. My wife and kids don't complain, but our house isn't like the 6-bedroom Victorians on the Hallmark channel. We don't take extravagant vacations. Tuition to the prestigious school is beyond us. Those granite counter-top, DIY channel kitchen and bath remodels are a fantasy. We gave our teen-age daughter a car, but it is much older than what some kids got. Hell, there's even a socio-economic pecking order to the type of pet you have and the type of food you feed it.
Like I said, my family never complains, but the world constantly holds up a standard and says "you've fallen short" which makes me feel lacking. Perhaps the saddest bit is that I can only express this anomalously online to total strangers.

 

[Stoic1]

Bearing the weight of responsibility.
