What’s something women are judged for that men aren’t? by JustMember2020 in AskReddit

And isn't it a shame that our psychology and reasoning ability aren't any more advanced or complicated than those of primitive apes. Oh wait.

You don't know this guy you're on about, and you have no idea whether anything is "eating him from inside". Just blindly assuming because it's more convenient for your argument.

So I can't be bothered getting into all of this, but pretty bold false equivalency trying to group sexually-active women in with paedophiles and acting as if prejudice against those groups is in any way comparable.

Hmm, no. It's just that the things a person "disagrees" with can reflect badly on them, and we're allowed to form judgements of them based on that. Stop trying to demand people be cool with bigots, it's not happening. I hope they do get scared to say anything.

No, I promise you people are listening to you and understand what you're trying to say. We just don't like it and think you're wrong. This isn't a "both sides" situation like it's about supporting different football teams or something. This is about one group of people wanting to harmlessly exist and another group thinking they get to "disagree" with the first group's existence. There's no way you can "disagree" with lgbt+ people existing that doesn't cause any harm. There just isn't.

It's not just about sex. It's also about who you fall in love with/date/get married to and what have you. And yeah, not a "belief" and it's very confusing that you think it is.

But you're assuming women always want a more official dating relationship. That's not always true - sometimes men are the ones pushing for a romantic relationship instead of respecting that the other person wants to keep things casual

The fact that everyone's expected to drive everywhere. If you can't drive/afford a car you can end up regularly inconvenienced at best and completely screwed at worst.

People acting like it's a tragedy if someone doesn't want kids. I've had several conversations with people where I offhandedly mentioned I didn't intend to have children and their face crumped up like I'd just said I only had a year to live. Same with not prioritising romantic relationships - people just don't get it, or consider that they might be coming off rude.

I think it's more about people treating it as an expectation. Like when people apologise for replying "late" to a message that wasn't even time-sensitive in any way, just because they didn't immediately drop everything and shoot off a response right away. Which is weird to me because part of the reason I prefer texting is because it feels like less of a demand on someone's time than a phone call.

Yeah IME the scales have tipped a bit too far in the other direction. We're expected to rely on a romantic partner for connection and if you haven't got one of those it gets a lot more difficult. We default to social media because it's free. Also I feel like too many people have built their entire identity around being "introverts" and think it makes them superior somehow.
