Of course there are still many men that love and look out for our women but it no longer feels like that for the majority of women. What the original commenter was trying to say is that since women no longer feel that men are on their side, they now feel like they only have each other to rely on.

    Don't be skinny, don't be fat, don't be muscular to hurt the ego of others, don't be smart, don't be dumb, don't be a showoff, but don't be shy. Eat healthy, but allow yourself a burger, read books, be obsessed with video games and have knowledge about cars, but also be helpless so the man has something to do. Be strong, be weak, be a single mom while being a loving mother and wife. As a woman, you're told to be everything at once or you're nothing.

    But why does it affect you what others simply tell you to do? Edit: And dont answer: "Because that is what is taught to us our whole life". I know that. My question is: what is STOPPING you, from stopping that now. You are a huge community, half the world actually, and do not owe anyone. Especially if you are grown up. Is it time to stop only commiserating yourself online? I do have empathy for you all, and your situation, and of course it is terrible that woman are pressed in these roles from a Young age. Now what do you Plan to do to work against it? The only thing you CAN do is ask yourself: Why am I even doing this, why am I obeying others, why do I want to please others? And then come to a realisation that will help you break free. I am not saying "you are weak if you dont start questioning and changing your behavior", I dont want to insult anyone, but someday you will have to Start questioning and changing your behavior, if you dont want to DEPEND on everyone else questioning and changing themselves. It is frustrating to see how many likes the comments get that basically say: "I already questioned myself, and reflected about our society, came to the conclusion what I have to do different, but I am not doing it because it is not easy because of blablabla" I know that that makes you feel understood, but how is that Mentality going to help? That is nothing other then accepting your fate and still whining about it. No strong Person would do that. And lastly I am not saying that men dont go through a similar process. Its just not the topic.

Which means we experience it since our childhoods, it's part of our development, so we can't just shrug it off. Many of us are taught and pressured to care about opinions of others and to forget about our own. So one thing is that it's with us from the beginning and there's also something else. Pressure of the group, if a group of people disagrees with us, it's normal to have doubts and to lean into their opinion. Especially when it happens from various sources and over time

    To answer your original question it does affect us what other people tell us to do. We are social creatures and need to be accepted and to belong. And women are often taught how they should act, what they should do and think, there are societal, family and religion expectations put on them, lots of pressure from many sides and everyone acts like we are bad human being if we won't live to this impossible standards. The amount of pressure and sources of that pressure is not something anyone should deal with. And most of us deal with it since the childhood, we are taught we should be this and that the same way we are taught to brush our teeth. So many of us don't even realise, many can feel it but don't have words. And recognising that we can be who we want to be and that other people opinions are just that, is just the begining of the healing journey. There's a lot of work needed to internalise that. And it's much easier to do that work without dealing again with the same bullshit opinions again and again on a daily basis. Also many of us want a better future for the children. So they can grow without all of that pressure and opinions and expectations thrown at them all the time.

    I had an argument with my dad. He was talking about how women don't have any disadvantages anymore because legally we're not disadvantaged. And I had to disagree, we don't have any legal disadvantages anymore, but that doesn't mean we get treated equally all the time. He asked me to give an example. The thing I immediately thought about in that moment was how I felt like I wasn't taken seriously in the conservatory. He says "It's really easy to blame everything that goes wrong on being a woman". I never said that I failed because I'm a woman. And I couldn't really get out eh words to explain what I was trying to say. So I'd like to do it now. I never thought I failed because I'm a woman. But it did not help. I'm sure that if I wasn't as feminine or came across as serious and stern I wouldn't have faced the same judgements. I had been told straight to my face that I had to take myself seriously, but at the same time I apparently was taking myself too seriously when I'd defend my art or when I got completely blocked and couldn't even write anymore. So what exactly wasn't serious about me? The fact that I wore cute clothing? The fact that I wore makeup that made me look sweet? The fact that I come across as naive because of my bubbly personality and shyness? The fact that I don't tend to fight back? The things that I have learned I'm supposed to be as a woman? Luckily for me I don't dislike these traits. I tend to like being cute and feminine. Not so lucky for me that means that I have try very damn hard to be seen as serious and capable. And not so lucky for me I couldn't handle that and ended up completely breaking down. I didn't even realize how unfair this one specific teacher really was to me. He would give me bullshit criticism that meant absolutely nothing, I couldn't learn anything and he just made me feel like a silly little girl in the process. Too silly to understand all these grand philosophical things he was talking about. Liking hearing himself talk way too much to listen to try to understand what I was doing, what I wanted to do. Some other things. I can't walk alone at night through certain streets in my neighborhood without being spoken to, followed and getting scared out of my mind cuz I cannot defend myself if something were to happen. I feel more safe when going out with a guy in my group because it's so much easier if a guy can tell off guys for you. Which is so unfair. I get scared when I have to reject a guy because I'm afraid that I'll bruise his ego and if I'm really unlucky, he will make sure that I suffer more from that rejection than he did. Being seen as more than just a woman or a woman with a cool skill by men is kind of hard. Which sucks because this world is litterally run by men. So we also have to appeal to men in some capacity if we want to get stuff done. Or be a cool ass bitch that somehow demands so much authority that it doesn't even matter (tho I'm sure they also get their fair share of men being butthurt cause this woman is just walking all over them because... she's capable.) I used to be completely ignored by some guys in my scouting group because they didn't think I was pretty. And I still feel this to this day. To many guys I'm absolutely nothing if they don't deem me attractive. Ignored and pushed aside, worthless. So don't tell me that I shouldn't put much effort in my makeup and clothing because it sure as hell is important. Even to these snobs who look down on women for caring about their looks, don't sit there and tell me you aren't the first to complain about a woman wearing too much makeup or wearing skimpy clothing. Who's the one obsessed with looks and clothes now? (This is a bit of different thing I guess but I still want to mention it: I get hit on by guys and clearly feel how they're looking down on me. Arrogant assholes who mistake my sweetness for being dumb. Yet they still hit on me? And it just makes me feel horribly disgusting. Or you can feel a guy being interested in you... but it's not really you, even when you start talking a lot they really don't care about you at all. They're not getting to know you. I don't know what they're interested in but its not me. Makes me feel very icky and disgusting. ) So no, it's not just because I'm a woman. It just makes it pretty damn hard sometimes. And some women are strong enough to fight through all that and to fight for what they're worth and deserve. I'm not. I sit quietly because I'm not supposed to complain. I don't naturally push back and assume that when people blame me or tell me I'm doing something wrong... They're right. I don't have any of that naturally and I've never been taught to fight back. All I ever got was questioning. "You're not having mental difficulties, you just wanted to be lazy and your teacher dying was the perfect opportunity for that." "Maybe you're just misunderstanding what he's saying to you" This may be all over the place. I'm writing this on my phone so I don't have a good overview of what I just wrote. But it's 2am and I'm having a complete mental breakdown. So yee, this was fun lol.

    Only not everyone go through it. Unfortunately some of us die. The girls have to face with social media beauty standards, the filters what makes them feel that they have to go under the knife and other plastic surgeries to risking their health and sometimes their lives… of course back in the time they had very unhealthy beauty processes, products from the too tight corset to poisoning powders, not too mention the lack of rights starting from child marriages and even queens were reduced to a baby factory to producing an heir, but the speed of recent changes in technology makes it so widespread that it’s really worrying. Add to it that misogynistic politicians turn back the time and would cancel what or mothers, grandmothers, and great grandmothers fought for, and the trad wifes happily would throw away! I don’t mind if someone a stay at home mum, or “just” a housewife, as long as it’s serves both parties and based on mutual respect, but not for a misinterpretated nostalgic nonsense and let themselves dominated by their husbands and being submissive. Being soft, doesn’t mean you have to throw away your dignity!

    I'm not even an adult yet, and i feel all of this, like, pressure to be perfect, to be a people pleaser, to be straight, to be thin, to be healthy, to wear makeup, to not complain, and for what? Why do we women have to be all of that for others? Why not let us be who we are? Why not let us be women, real ones, not fake. Cause that is what we wish, to be real, to be ourselves, without needing to be what other people want us to be. And if all of that is written and felt by a 12 year old, i really think the world needs to be changed. Love, a girl who has had enough.

You do acknowledge that despite the fact that we are all in a strict, cruel and controlling society and yes men do face the horrors too, but we all experience it differently and I hate to have to tell you this but this feeling is unique to women, we have always been objects bought and sold by men, like broodmares, born to only be an incubator and a slave to husbands. I can guarantee that you have never feared that you could lose autonomy over your own body due to your own government recently, because each government seems to have come to the agreement to start taking rights away from women, the fucking people in charge and do you wanna know the main ones making the rules? Men, rich, white privileged men, I can give you a few names of men who have taken away women’s rights in the past 5 years, Greg Abbott, Brian Kemp, Ron DeSantis, John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh and that’s only five men in the past five years, people who have never had a uterus in their lives, people who will never know the true agony of pregnancy, took away women’s rights to choose their lives over something that could’ve stolen their entire life, either literally or metaphorically. Just think about why you keep commenting this and if you don’t know then I can tell you why, you felt personally attacked by it, you felt victimised, you thought ‘hm this must be women’s ways of saying they hate me and all men’ but it’s not, we only hate the men who have wronged us, used us, abused us, if you think that we are attacking you personally, ask yourself why and consider the fact of who we really hate, do you fall under those categories? If you don’t then congratulations, we don’t hate you, we don’t want you gone from the earth, we don’t want you to feel like it’s all your fault because it isn’t, but if you do fall under those categories, why?

    Gosh I’m not even an adult yet but I’ve already struggled with these things. I just don’t understand why we separate each other by gender so much. Everyone is different anyway, but we make such a big divide between men and women. It’s such a small thing to be mad about when you think about it. Yes, men and women do have big differences and different struggles, but lots of those struggles are created by us making such a large difference between us anyway! We can’t lump all people into tiny little boxes of personality just because of the differences in our bodies. Everyone is different but we can accept it and come together. Unfortunately, people just refuse to change their viewpoints, which is frustrating.

    that is such a nice viewpoint to have. all these struggles between genders is just us making a big deal out of those differences, and as a biologist, I've learned that different sexes balance each other out. If I have a certain weakness, I have something else that balances out that weakness. So in reality, we are not THAT different. I highly recommend a book called, "Sapiens" by Yuval Noah Harari. He, in his book, explains this issue much much better!

    It's frustrating that you don't understand how much hormones affect the brain, and the body/CNS. Once you get more life experience, you will understand. From how men and women socialise; to how girls/boys interact with toys (self-insertion); reaction to stress; work/life balance; and how competition manifests. Unfortunately for you, the truth is that gender transcends personality, and its not about what makes you smile, or sad, or depressed, or even what commanlity you find in everfyday struggles. Just remember that just because a vocal minority accepts a theory, it doesn't mean the majority do, and this something that is being shown across surveys and elections across the western world at this time.

    I was 8 the first time I was cat called. I was 10 the first time a guy touched me inappropriately. I was 13 the first time a guy tried to look up my skirt. I am now 15 and these memories ,even though they are small compared to other women’s experiences, still haunt me. But maybe they are not small, maybe that is just what I’ve learned to be. To be small, to be quiet, to smile and look pretty. To never speak up and tell people what I’ve experienced because they won’t believe me anyways because I’m just a girl. But I don’t want to be small and I don’t want to be quiet and I want to smile for me and I want to feel pretty for me. But I don’t know how. I feel hopeless because I’m just a 15 year old girl and i don’t know how to change this. But I’m so tired of feeling hopeless.

Growing up as a woman is what shaped me into who i am today, i cannot fully live as myself if i can't accept the fact that i know what this pain feels like, because i was a woman.

    I’m a bloke behind enemy lines. I have patches where I’m down - normally self induced from my erratic student life style and during these I think about how I took for granted the better times. As guys, we go through our own battles but they don’t really compare & are mostly due to us not treating each other with the same level of love that you all do. The thought of having hormonal swings routinely pre-planned is heartbreaking & I genuinely feel for you all. Stay lovely & strong & kind for one another

All women are an ultimate human being far beyond what is trajected in our awfully built society. As a man who has a pool of empathy, this short film really gave me insight as to who women are, what a woman is, the good, the bad, and the ugly of all of being a woman. Thank you, truthfully....

    Since my math was pretty bad, my parents sent me to a tutoring class that’s run in this man’s house. He’s like 86, so he’s pretty old fashioned. He constantly calls the girls in my class annoying or dumb, he tells them to shut up, he says that they will never have a successful future, etc. the class has a lot more girls than boys btw. He never talks to his male students like this and always praises them, telling them how good they’re doing and that he knows that they’ll be successful. He talks about the girls in our class getting married a lot (for example he once told a female student that her husband will love her a lot in the future since she’s really dumb, he says stuff like this a lot and we can’t do much bc he hits us with a wooden spatula bc he’s old fashioned and sht and the guys just laugh) but he never does this for the guys. He never says that their wives will hate them or that they have to get married in the future. Im saying this bc once he made another marriage joke to a female student and she said “I’ll never get married!” And he said “you have to, it’s always the women who say stuff like this who get married the fastest.” We have to tie our hair up in class or else we get yelled at or hit. There’s guys who have their hair literally covering their eyes and he doesn’t bat an eye. There’s a male student who literally does nothing the whole class and talks back to him, and he never gets yelled at or hit. He cried for two hours because he didn’t want to go to tutoring or do work, and he didn’t get yelled at or hit either. I get yelled at if I don’t extend the fraction line enough to cover the denominator, yet he can do the worst shit you can do in a classroom and get away with it. My teacher yells at girls who sit “unladylike,” too. Parents of girls get called in regularly when they talk back or if they have a nasty expression on their face (im a frequent culprit of this.) he called my mom in once because I “had a bad attitude” (I couldn’t remember some formulas and got hit really hard) and he told her “I know that raising a teenage girl is very hard.” He went on to say that teenage girls are nightmares to deal with, and that my mom must be so tired of me. He’s always telling us to mind our own business, yet he’s constantly telling us what to wear, how our parents should raise us, how insufferable we are, etc. the most infuriating part is that my mom just accepts it. She doesn’t talk back at all, and just nods and thanks him. I don’t mean to toot my own horn or anything, but (according to my mom) I am the opposite of difficult to raise. The reason why teenage girls are seen as difficult is because I guess hormones make us more emotional. It’s true that im moodier more often than I was when I was younger, but I don’t take it out on other people. The reason why he thought I was difficult was because I didn’t have a pleasant expression in my face while doing algebra for two and a half hours and getting yelled at for about 75 percent of the time. Who the fck enjoys that? He’s always saying that he just wants the best for us, and that we’re ungrateful and will never find a husband. Idk if this is related but I had a male friend (who im not friends with anymore thank god) who I was friends with since elementary school. During the pandemic, I was homeschooled for about a year longer than everyone else, so when I came back to school I was really excited to see everyone. I was expecting for me and my friend to get along fine, but he had new friends, and I didn’t want to butt into his life or make it seem like I had a crush on him by talking to him too much (because apparently being nice to a boy means you take romantic interest in them) so I kept my distance but was still nice to him. We went to the same tutoring program, and our class only had the two of us. During tutoring, I would try to talk to him a lot but he would always respond really dryly or say something mean back. I was a little taken aback by this, since he wasn’t like this before, and when we would make fun of each other it would be stuff like “you’re a poopy head” and we would both laugh but he would straight up call me dumb and ugly with a straight face and it really looked like he meant it. I was hurt whenever he said these things, but I never really said anything because I would get told that he was just joking or that he was a boy and this was his way of flirting. The next year, our school started providing breakfast, and since I had no friends, I would sit with his friends at their table during breakfast. His friends were alright, but whenever I said anything he would say something like “shut up you’re so annoying” or “this is why you have no friends” and his friends would usually just laugh. I honestly wanted to cry, but I didn’t leave since he was my “best friend” and I didn’t want to ruin our friendship. This year, whenever I said anything to him (because I was still attempting to be his friend and be nice) he would say something mean back. One time, the topic of yin and yang popped up in our conversation for some reason and he said “im the male one (the black one) because im logical and smart, and you’re the female one (the white one) because you’re loud and annoying.” I had gotten a little used to the mean stuff he said before, but this one hurt. I just laughed along, like I always did, so I could be a cool girl who could take his jokes or something (idk…). In 7th grade, we all went into a new school, and this school year he was being nicer. That was until his friends were saying stuff like “oh you must like her since you guys talk a lot” and I guess that hurt his ego because he went back to how he was before. I didn’t bother trying to get him to be my friend this time, since I knew it wasn’t worth trying. The worst part about this was that I can’t really complain much because I’ll get told that he likes me or that he’s a young boy and that’s how they are or some other bs. He treats his mother like trash too, but she’s always so nice to him. He always made me feel like shit, calling me stupid, dumb, lazy, or ugly every single day. I would cry so much about why I couldn’t be as good as him. I hated myself so much because I actually believed that he was superior and that I deserved everything (bc he said that I called him a mean name in kindergarten so I felt like I deserved it). I’m thirteen years old, and since I was three, I wished to be prettier. I’m East Asian, so my eyes are small, I have monolids, and my hair is almost black. I wished to have blonde hair and blue eyes. When people said I could be anything when I grew up, I thought it meant that when I grew up, I could be the girl I wished to be. I started caring about my appearance and how boys thought of me since preschool. I worried about how my nose looked when I was 6, and I would pinch it to see how it would look if it was “prettier.” I didn’t know what it meant when I sat on my mom’s male co-worker’s knee and he started bouncing it, snickering to himself. I didn’t know why my mom took me away so quickly and told me that we wouldn’t be seeing him again. I know that craving male validation isn’t how I should live my life, but how is that possible when the world is run by men? I don’t wear the clothes I want to wear and I don’t express my interests because I don’t want to be seen as “unattractive” to men. My female classmates and I are sexualized all the time, and I feel disgusting every time a boy calls me hot. I can’t do anything about it, because it’s a compliment, right? If I said something back, I’m not fun to hang out with. Im afraid every time im outside alone. I know that if an adult man were to take interest in me, I wouldn’t be able to fight back. If I told anyone, he wouldn’t get into much legal trouble, that is, if I would be able to make it out alive. So I don’t wear super revealing clothing because I don’t want to attract those types of men, but I was made to appeal to men. I was made to be a mother, right? It doesn’t matter what I wear or say or do in the end, because I am just a girl. No one will truly take me seriously. There’s nothing I can do about it, because this is how it works. Throughout my life, I will have to kiss up to men and make them feel good about themselves just so I can be a fraction of how successful they are. I will be sexualized, and there is a high chance that I will experience SA multiple times in my life. And there’s nothing I can do about it. Sometimes I wonder why I couldn’t have been born a man.

    to all the men, and future men in these comments - please don't feel attacked or get butt hurt from this video. Ive seen countless examples of men in the comments to similar to videos trying to put in their two cents or tell us why its so hard being a man, or how being a woman isn't that hard anyway. everyone has their own struggles, but this space is not for you, I'm sorry but its true. this is a space for women to feel vulnerable in their struggles without men breathing down their necks about how they're supposed to act or what they're not supposed to say. if you come into this comment section ready to poke fun at someone or just spew nonsense because you're upset that other women can acknowledge the daily struggles we all face, just leave. it won't make you feel better about yourself in the long run, and it won't make anyone else feel better.

    as a kid i was so happy that i was a girl, playing barbies, putting on my mamas makeup, and playing with the other girls. it’s completely changed now, i understand i have to grow up but now i hate being a woman, periods, needing to get married (forced by my family), needing to get pregnant because men can’t do that, getting different jewellery for my birthday that i need to wear for my wedding, and guess what i’m fucking 13. my family talks about marriage like it’s a year away, i don’t even want to get married, i want to enjoy life, not get married at 25. i am 13 and i have to worry about how i look everyday, if i’m eating enough or if i’m eating too much because i can’t be too skinny but i can’t be too chubby if i’m in between i feel like i need to get skinnier. so many ppl are saying this is slander to men, some of us don’t hate men, some of us hate how you treat us, some of us hate how we treat you with kindness and we don’t get the same treatment back, and i’m not saying that it’s only men it’s women too, but i can’t help but realise that men do it a lot more. i know people are gonna say i’m saying too much but so many women hate being the gender that they are and that’s fucked up, we shouldn’t hate what gender we are we should embrace it and im glad that some of us do. if someone read all of this then thanks i’m just taking all my thoughts out lmao.

    I'm a trans guy so my opinion here is not as important or valid as the women in these comments who are sharing their experiences but I'd like to share mine too. My male friends do not treat me the same as others sometimes. I've just started talking to a guy and I try to talk to my friends and they treat me like a child who is going to get hurt but I am the one looking after all of them all the time. I am their therapist, their alarm, their chef, their driver. But still I am the one who needs to protected from men who might pressure me into something I'm uncomfortable with. The first few times it felt like having a protective older brother, someone I always wish I had. But now it's like I'm being babied. The comments like "we are well aware that you are okay with it. which is why we are saying to be careful at the same time." (which is an actual message my friend sent me) just hurt. They only got off my back once I lied and said I wanted to be a slag for the summer which should be a total fucking red flag to them about how I'm feeling. I have a gay guy friend and he was so much better with it because he understands that I can look after myself. And after being all of their fucking therapists, I get why their relationships failed and I know what not to do but also what to look out for. TLDR: My straight guy friends subconciously treat me like a girl when it comes to certain things like relationships and watching this video made me realise that

    I love videos like these. My own brother is disrespectful to me sometimes. He makes the classic sexist jokes but when I do the kind of jokes but opposite, I’m a b*tch! Isn’t that just so wonderful! I am tired of dealing with so much ignorant people, I know I’m ignorant at times too but at some point the scale gets unbalanced. I walk through my daily life living off of pain my brother or any man will never experience. Yet at times, although they have never felt my pain, I will get judged for it. I’m not even in high school yet but I have experienced and heard of stories no woman or any person for that matter should go through. Looking in the mirror some days is tough & I have the expectation to dress good or at least decent whilst a man doesn’t even have to match his outfit. All of this and more yet men still have the nerve to say we are overreacting or exaggerating. I don’t know if I like being a woman for even the parts I like (clothing/fashion aspect mainly) I would get shamed for expressing in my own way. But oh well I am too young to do much anyway🙂
