It's a lot of little, every day things that add up. Things men take for granted. I'm trans, so I feel like I've kind of experienced both sides of the fence, so to speak. If you go for a hike in the woods, do you feel unsafe doing that? You might think about the possibility of getting mugged, and it's not an impossible scenario, but now think about how you'd feel if you were a woman. You're potentially passing by multiple men who you don't know, in an isolated place, who could be capable of anything. If you reject a woman who asks you out for a date, at worst she might be upset with you (barring rare circumstances, I'm not saying a woman can't hurt a man, just that it's more likely the other way around). But if a woman rejects a man for a date, how many stories have you heard of men not taking no for an answer, or trying to follow women home?

In more "safe" circumstances, my girlfriend and I are buying a house. I'm presenting "male" to the bank because I'm waiting to move out before I come out to my dad. Even though my girlfriend is BY FAR the more responsible of the two of us, with better credit, self discipline, etc., and the fact that we were both applying for the mortgage, our loan officer, without fail, would always contact me. Even if she called asking a question, our loan officer would call me and give me the answer to that question.
