7 Worst Things About Being Male

[Freelanderness]

I find the massive amount of stereotyping in the article to discredit its legitimacy.

Of course there are down sides to "being male" just as there are downsides to "being female". Is one more important than the other? It depends on the issue, because the majority of times, the issues happen to both genders, just at differing rates.

Everyone's life will suck. For certain values of suck.

Precisely. So we should combat the suck instead of trying to wallow in it, or play the "whose got a bigger d*ck [of shittiness] game". /crude but my point is made.

I'm also not like that. I prefer a partner for a couple of weeks, so that you can really get to know what she likes, etc.

Indeed, though I'm not really an expert on the matter with only one relationship that is now behind me.

Radical comes from the latin word meaning "root". Most Radical feminists are NOT nuts. Radical feminism is called such because it seeks to solve the "roots" of the problem of patriarchy, not because it's somehow extreme.

That's because most radfems are fucking nuts.

Ostroeuropa, how many radical feminists do you know personally? I know several and none of them are "nuts".

I know some rad fems who are absolutely bonkers. I also know regular people who are absolutely nuts.

Much less tasty.

Smells like toast, tastes like failure.

I must admit I automatically set most people that I know on friendzone, regardless of whether or not they're interested in me. It takes a lot of hints for me to change that setting.

I usually realize much later that they were interested in me. It just takes a long time for me to lower the shield, so to speak.

Not your fault, the quote function is broken.

I think your quote thing is a bit screwed up.

Anyway I have nothing against radical feminism in principle, but when literally everything on radical feminism I've ever read and every radical feminist I've ever talked to has been horribly transphobic, I'm not much inclined to like the ideology as a whole.

I also wouldn't call trying to solve the root of the patriarchy radical as in extreme. Perhaps I've been unaware of that definition, and I've never known the origins of the term. But to me, isn't solving the root of patriarchy a pretty basic principle of feminism?

"Friend" and "Friendzoned" are two things. I typically find it harder to deal with people who have been friendzoned for the first few months, until they catch the hint. "Friend" is the default position for everyone, including The, and Gif. Because if they aren't friends, how the hell can they be Lovers?

I'm not the one who called them nuts.

Sorry, saw the quotes wrong. Ugh. Whomever said it, replace your name with Ostroeuropa in my post and sorry Ostroeuropa! I'm in a hurry and have a lot of work to do and must have misread.

Anyway, sorry about that. I used to identify as one myself. I still do, on and off.

But there's fairly rampant transphobia in the field, and that's not something I'm comfortable of supporting. I will concede that the statement was needlessly hyperbolic though.

I'm pretty rad, and a feminist, and I love me some inclusiveness. Sex/Gender/Gender Expression will free us all.

Belgian women, much like women in other nations, are a diverse lot. You'll find some crazies, some babes, some crazy babes, some radical marxists, and the occasional "Cougar" who will absolutely destroy your sexual chi.

Uh huh. I'd recommend not speaking in the plural, it makes you look crazy.

It's ridiculous. You might be interested in the 7 Best Things about Being Male, it's just as bad and equally worthy of a facepalm.

I knew I was being too hopeful when I expected it to be a comprehensive analysis of male privilege.
