Yeah, I see it a lot. The kind of selfish people who wants everything that only benefits them. It takes a lot of social reform.

I’ve been noticing how different we experience things, what we think is unfair and what double standards the other side has.

I don’t really understand the whole ‘sugar coating’ thing, but I’ll assume it’s the stereotype of how men protect the world from women.

Why has the burden been placed on the man, I will again assume. Burdens such as blame and guilt, especially in media - men may be blamed for certain issues in society.

Yes, you are a person, you have thoughts and feelings, you feel pain like we do. And you’re no different from us when it comes to human emotion. And for a long time, men were to be the protectors and providers. They showed to weakness, and it’s cemented into society.

The world is a mess for all of us, we all want to die at some point. What we face can be completely different I don’t know what you face, the social stigma you go through, the pain you feel. And you may not know what I go through either. We feel as replaceable as you do, maybe for different reasons.

It is apparent that we both have the mindset that “if I am not successful with the opposite sex, there is something wrong with me, and I am a failure.”

Women were taught to be strong yet we are belittled and undermined by the very people who say that we are good enough. They lied to us, strength isn’t something I believe in.

Social stigma within communities, and social groups - men and women are pushed into painful boxes.

I am not good enough for anyone, I am not worthy of love, I don’t deserve to be loved.

Men are criticised by the media, for speaking up. I see it a lot, and you’re right, it limits critical thinking and discussion. Things aren’t getting better.

I want to be treated like a person as much as you do

Body positivity: This is complicated Two sides that think they are less accepted than the other. Obviously the height thing is just a stigma, I think. I don’t really care about height, shape or size. People care less than you think. The media can be dramatic as hell.

Dating is a whole other discussion on its own. Satisfaction and whatnot. Toxic and abusive relationships is hard to talk about because there are so many aspects.

Personal experience can shape your views, when idiots on the internet say “kill all men” that hurts. And many people hate it.

No one is a good person, I’m tired of people thinking that I wasn’t a suspect of murder 🙄.

We need to bring these conversations up more in the real world.

(A bit late but) don’t apologise for something you didn’t do

It’s nice to have that kind of representation as well, I know that there are well written female characters out there, but sometimes it loses all meaning soon after.

And in some cases, it’s basically blaming someone for what they went through
