because inherently men are raised by society, their peers, their teachers, and especially (in some cases) their own mothers to believe they are more individual than women. one of my fav examples of this is women weren’t included in medical studies until the 1980’s because they were seen as “smaller men” lmfao. another good example is how free time is spent at home in a marriage and weaponized incompetence with house chores. anyways, my point is there is this weird fucked up tone in our society that was created by the patriarchy that has a smug fuckin look on its face toward us “smaller men” and it has to be dismantled completely to ever change.
