Right?

Being a man = you just get to be that and no one really has to define what it is because its rude to suggest that you aren't a man so its just whatever, no one really cares except other dudes and they mostly only care about themselves.

Being a woman = EVERYONE gets to have input on what that means.

    I'm not implying being a man is worse expectation-wise, but it is just not at all accurate to say men aren't belittled all the time for not "being man enough".

    Why aren't you doing more? Why aren't you more successful? Why aren't you stronger? Why aren't you tougher?

    Oh another man on tv called you not manly enough? Try fielding daily bullshit about your nail color, hair color, eyeliner thickness, how fat or thin you are (fat men aren’t fat lois, only fat women are fat), how much worth you have based on whether some old ugly fucking loser wants to fuck you. I can go on forever. Fuck being a woman.
