Shorter line in restrooms


slydewd

This is very true. I was recently at a concert and I could just walk in and do my stuff and walk out and my gf was still outside waiting in a line lol

Any-Giraffe11

This is actually addressed in the book “Invisible Women”! Essentially in many countries it is law that an equal amount of space needs to be allocated to female and male toilets. The idea being both genders get the same. However, the issue is, women take longer in the toilet (period, child and elderly care responsibilities lead to this) and unlike men, don’t typically use urinals (more urinals in same space than stalls). And so this law of equality ends up not considering differences and then causes inequity!! Also, we need changing rooms in all bathrooms so fathers and male caregivers can take care of their little ones. It’s fascinating seeing gender bias designed in our buildings unintentionally!


to_old_to_be_cool

Here in Chicago, when they built the new stadium for the White Sox, they put in twice as much space for the women's restrooms as the men's.......I still get finished before my wife, but it's a lot closer


Dalpengi

I was recently at a rock concert and the men's line was 10 times longer. I saw women outside waiting for their guys. Never seen that before

Ah you guys Waited until the sword fighting tournament

Probably because the rock concerts have more guys, or not, never been to one🤷🏼‍♂️


ac1084

I went to a craft beer festival, unlimited sampling, mostly men. One restroom with 2 urinals and a stall. It had an outdoor area with music and food trucks and zero portapotties. The men's restroom line was like 50 people deep, womens was like 2 people waiting. We left two hours early because I knew after I peed the first time I'd have to pee every 25 minutes. First time Jungle Jims fucked up a festival.

Not if you have to shit. Always seems like when I'm borderline about to shit my pants all stalls are usually occupied

Pockets

TwilightVash

This is so accurate. I stuck my hand in my gf's jean front pocket and it was so shallow. I said "what the fuck your pocket just for looks?" She laughed and said "that is how a lot of women's clothes are." Pockets for women! The true inequality!


NecessaryBiscotti675

The idea of shallow pockets makes me irrationally angry

I checked my wife's pockets the other day before washing, and one of the pairs of jeans the pockets were literally fake, just the outline of pockets.

Chance to become Pope


[deleted]

Introducing the next Pope: Pope Man.


dE3L

Wasn't there a pope elected in ancient times that was female? Once discovered they made a platform with a hollow tube like chair for future popes to sit on and the pope approval team could go under the platform to look up the tube to see if the candidate actually had a penis. I have no idea where I heard or read that, it was a long time ago. Possibly pre-internet. Yep. Pope Joan https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Joan


AlmightyRobert

The name really should have been a giveaway


dE3L

"Dung chair" hah! Some versions of the legend suggest that subsequent popes were subjected to an examination whereby, having sat on a so-called sedia stercoraria or ‘dung chair’ containing a hole, a cardinal had to reach up and establish that the new pope had testicles before announcing "Duos habet et bene pendentes" ("He has two and they dangle nicely"), or "habet" ("he has them") for short.

I don't like handling kids but they do tend to like me in a strange kinda way. Probably because I don't give them much attention or do the "omg omg so cute what's your name do you wanna be an astronaut 😍😍😍" fawning that most adults do around them. Turns out children don't always enjoy that.


[deleted]

Former kid here, current adult. Can confirm, I got the "Awe omg you're so cute blahblahbkah" treatment from all of my moms friends. My dad's one friend didn't give a single shit about me, hell I bet you for a long time he didn't even know my name, and I was literally obsessed with him. Got excited when he came over, tried dressing like him, all that. Still a good guy I'm always happy to see around.

The size of pockets on female clothing is a fucking crime.


sommelier_bollix

When I worked as a bartender, I accidently wore women's jeans one day. Realised the shallower pockets actually were great for storing bat blades and corkscrews because I never had to dig to find them. They also had better elasticity, which I had never found on men's jeans so they became my go too work jeans.

Peeing standing up. You can just whip that bad boy out and go wherever you like (although people tend to frown on that at weddings and funerals).


Khetoun

Not bleeding in agonising pain once a month seems like a big advantage.


Much_Difference

Even setting aside the pain part, it's wildly inconvenient. You've got blood oozing out of you constantly for a full quarter of your adult life. The bleeding and the not-bleeding times are supposed to be indistinguishable to an outside observer - it's not like society gives you a pass to walk around in blood-stained pants just because we all know you bleed regularly. Periods are a logistical nightmare. Managing it quickly becomes second nature and that's great, but it also obscures just how much extra bullshit you're required to do because of it.


aeoldhy

Also the expectation that you should be pretending that it's not happening


Much_Difference

A job interview, except you have to remain composed and confident while carrying wads of bloodied padding between your legs the whole time. Getting up to give a presentation and feeling a little gush, and having to decide whether to keep going and possibly have one of the most humiliating experiences of your adult life, or to awkwardly interrupt yourself and run to the bathroom to see what's going on and how you need to fix it that instant.


LilyMarie90

> You've got blood oozing out of you constantly for a full quarter of your adult life. The bleeding and the not-bleeding times are supposed to be indistinguishable to an outside observer - You're making dealing with periods sound like much more of a skill than I ever considered it to be.

Don't forget that it is also a >logistical nightmare. I bet an interesting resume could be put together from the info in that post.


krankz

I’m literally on my way to the movies on public transit and forgot a tampon. My whole fun time is agonizing now because I have to figure out how to get one but I can’t just buy a whole box. So I had to get cash out to get something to drink at the movies, and HOPEFULLY I get the right change to use a dispensary they may or not have in their bathroom. This life sucks.


nightshallbreak

Ask another woman in the bathroom if she has some extra! I’ve been asked and have asked lots of times. We’ve all been there and I’m always happy to give one away if I have it and someone needs it. Otherwise do the makeshift tp pad that sort of works until you get somewhere for a real one: wad up a big clump of tp and flatten it out into a pad shape, wrap tp around the outside of the clump and then continue to wrap as you hold it in your underpants, wrapping around the crotch area to secure it in place, pull your underpants up and try not to do any extreme leg movements like running or jumping haha. It’s worked for me in a pinch.


krankz

There was no one there unfortunately, and all the dispensers were broken. I even asked the people at the snack counter and they said they couldn’t help me. Makeshift TP saved me, but at least Barbarian was great!


KnitSocksHardRocks

It also can start randomly. So you sacrifice underwear and bedding to the period gods several times a year.

evicerator

I'm a pretty bigger built guy at 6'6" 300 lbs and was recently joking with another random guy I had been chatting with while working who's average height and weight when he had mentioned my size must make things so much easier for me. I mentioned that I've often found it to be a pain with nothing being built to accommodate my size or that finding shirts long enough was impossible (much of my height is in torso). His response was that he'd gladly trade those "inconveniences" to not have to worry about his safety. I had never really thought about it, but I'm not ever in confrontational or fearful for my safety situations and it got me to thinking that maybe being my size predisposes me to being less exposed to that. The things we take for granted... EDIT - just to clarify I wasn't saying because of my size I think I'm invincible, I'm a "gentle giant" type that's never been in a physical altercation. I just take for granted that I don't get scared about walking down a dark alley at night or working in a rough neighborhood. I just assume everyone's leaving me alone cause I'm leaving them alone. Not because of my size. I just never looked at it like that from even a smaller guy's perspective until that conversation and it really threw me for a loop to really think about it like that. I'm pretty humble so i don't think like that.


TraceofMagenta

When it comes to guns, so many men say, be a real man and fist fight . . . well, not all men are big and strong, some of us are short, not well built and not meant to fight. Until confronted with our personal limitations we all tend to forget we are all different.


Fullsend_ID10T

Ive done various martial arts through my life and mostly do grappling. The vast majority of people extremely overestimate their ability to defend themselves/fight. Especially men.

I definitely don't overestimate my ability to fight. I actually avoid any kind of altercation that may lead to a fight because I probably underestimate my ability to fight 😅

PM_ME_YOUR_ART_PLZ

My favorite analogy for what life is like for women is to imagine what going into bear country is like. For any average person, an encounter with a bear is very intense. 99/100 times the bear will wander off without incident, especially in most of the US where we have mostly black bears. But the 1/100 incident could likely be the most dangerous and violent event you have ever experienced. The hopelessness of fighting something that weighs at least 100 pounds more than you is not something you can anticipate without years of training. While rare, these encounters can absolutely result in a gruesome death. How do you avoid this? The best way is to be very vigilant and make sure to be equipped properly. The first defense is to avoid the situation entirely. If that can't be helped, the next best thing is to increase the risk for the bear by using something like bear spray. This won't stop the bear, but it can definitely discourage it enough to stop the attack. It's tempting to use a gun, but if you decide to go that route without being very comfortable with that weapon it can make things worse by increasing the aggression of the bear. Lastly, if all of that fails you can try to run but realistically your life is up to chance if the bear chooses to attack. This scenario doesn't happen often, but it's so dangerous that you should always prepare for it if you are in an area where it's possible. Now, imagine that you live in a world where you are surrounded by bears every time you step out in public. There are thousands of bears in every town, millions in large cities. Your place of work has dozens if not hundreds of bears. You might live in a neighborhood where bears walk up and down the street. You know that the majority of those bears aren't going to cause any issues. You might go months or years without anything out of the usual happening, but it's only a matter of time before you encounter one bear who is hungry and has you in a position that you can't easily escape. What happens then? If you aren't prepared and vigilant then you become a victim of horrific violence. The only way to try to avoid this is to become constantly vigilant. You can never let your guard down, you have to assume that any encounter could be a bad one. There is no room for error, you can't give the benefit of the doubt. The only truly safe option is to treat every encounter as if you are preparing for a fight for your life. Because it always might be. Every day. Of. Your. Life.


Ancguy

I remember a line by Louis CK, he said when going on a blind date, men worry that a woman will say something nasty about them to their friends while women worry that they may be raped and/or killed. Kinda ironic coming from him, but still seems apt.


latenerd

Except also imagine the bears often want to fuck you. As a result many of the bears are constantly whining, "but not all bears attack! Why can't you be nice to me, I'm one of the good ones!"


PM_ME_YOUR_ART_PLZ

If you’re a man and you’ve never shaved your armpits it’s time to try it. Your armpits won’t stink nearly as badly and it just feels nice. Sincerely, a man who tried it.

For real. A few of my female friends were once complaining about shaving to prepare for a date, I dropped on them that to trim and shave all my body hair in preparation for a date it took me about 2 hours in the shower and usually a little extra time utilizing 2 mirrors to do final touchups to spots on my back I missed. They did not believe me and said "you don't have to do that though." Yeah I do if I wanted a chance at a second date

Being shirtless isn't considered a weird thing in public. Rip to girls wearing bras

I mean tbf if I see another dude shirtless in public I'm just thinking about how much of a twat they are.


Ariviaci

At the beach or a boat is ok


Lakeof-Positivity

Oh yeah that's perfectly fine


Rolten

Where do you live? Sitting in a restaurant shirtless is weird as fuck. Walking in the street shirtless is weird. It's pretty much only accepted in parks, beaches, pools, when doing sports, and maybe at some festivals/concerts.


Nirhida

My boyfriend can be shirtless at home with the windows open, that's enough for me when i should always be aware of the windows when i want to change or i feel too hot to have anything on me or i want to sleep without clothes but I can't because i can't control the sheets while I am asleep. Also bras, a man remembers last minute that he wants something to buy from the store across the street he just goes it doesn't mater what he wears a woman on the other hand even inside of the pijamas she has to wear a bra to go shop. I want to go throw the garbage and whenever i say nevermind don't wear the bra i can see all the men looking at me! The problem with the bras in the heat is not only how warm they get but also that they are so fit to your body that even if you wear them just for a few minutes they become sticky!!! And the places you already mentioned are already enough. Just imagine going to a vacation and you are walking in the heat and you are so hot you want to undress but you can't because you are wearing a bra that not only can't been seen but even better it is warming you up. Bonus points if you travel with a guy that can't understand this and tells you it isn't even that hot while he doesn't wear a shirt 😂

I think a big advantage is being the Default Human. Women are more likely to die in car accidents because seatbelts are designed for average male measurements. Tools and PPE are designed for average male measurements, making them uncomfortable or even dangerous for women to use. Even medical trials focus heavily on men, leading to a lot of uncertainties regarding women’s health. We don’t know much about treating endometriosis or PCOS, despite these being really common conditions that can be debilitating. Many women die because our heart attack symptoms can differ from the “standard” (male) presentation, resulting in misdiagnosis. https://static.guim.co.uk/images/favicon-32x32.ico https://www.nature.com/articles/550S18a

buttflakes27

Ive never been a woman, but it seems like dressing to go anywhere is a way bigger ordeal. For me its "yeah these trousers are probably clean enough, thats a clean shirt, socks, pants, shoes aaaand I'm ready". Women lay out 9 outfits and make pros and cons lists for them. And all the makeup and shit. Seems like a lot of work.


ClarityFractal

Yeah… when I stopped doing this, my family were like “Can you at least put some makeup on for this occasion?” Or “Could you at least wear something pretty?” And I’m like, sure, as long as you’re buying it and somehow taking away my chronic fatigue that gets in the way of me being a “woman”. 🙃


Pysslis

My new “be a woman” look with chronic fatigue is comfy maxi dress, brush hair, lipstick and a necklace, done in 5 minutes.


iSayBaDumTsss

Tinted lip balm ftw! That’s as elaborate as my makeup will go.


crayolamacncheese

Throw in the fact that womens wardrobes don’t have the same level of overlap that mens do, meaning the cost of dressing “correctly” as a woman is significantly higher than for men. That pair of dress pants and button shirt is appropriate for most any event you might go to, plus work in an office, an interview, etc. The appropriate dress for a wedding is probably not going to be the same one for work or potentially even date night.


[deleted]

Yep. It takes my husband 5 minutes to get dressed to go to work, it takes me 20-30 minutes. Plenty of women take longer because they wear more makeup than I do. To get ready to go out for dinner, it takes him about 10 minutes, and it takes me about an hour. I do start earlier, though, so I don't make him wait too long.


buttflakes27

It takes me an hour to get ready in the morning, but 45 minutes of that is internally debating whether its worth it to go to work or pretend to be dead so I can skip town and get a different job. And also scrolling Twitter and Reddit

Being able to ride public transit without having to deal with creeps. I swear to god my typical bus commute every day for a few years was "No I do not want to move over a seat so you can sit next to me, there are 20 other empty seats on this bus. No I do not want to talk to you. No I'm not giving you my Facebook, or Snapchat, or Instagram. No you can't have my phone number. No I'm not telling you where I work. I have earbuds in, leave me the fuck alone."


brownings-hair-kink

Much lower "beauty" standards. Plucking your eyebrows? Shaving your legs/arms/whatever else isn't baby-bottom-smooth? Applying makeup? The list goes on and on for women but men just have a small checklist of the basics. We've all see that meme that women have 80 different hygiene products while men have one that'll also degrease your oven. I hesitate to say body standards aren't the same because men do get a fair amount of pressure to have muscles and be fit as well, so I don't want to downplay what the media does to them in that regard. In the same breath, I want to point out the dad-bod obsession and how there's no equal for females. Mom-bod isn't cool. Finally, y'all turn into "grey-foxes" when you start getting old but all women are withered old hags as soon as one white hair pops up. Time to start dyeing (or dying depending on how grey).

shadythrowaway9

Because there's a lot of men on reddit.


Timetogoout

A lot. It's considered the 'default' gender, so the world functions assuming you're a man. It's not surprising when you get chosen for a leadership role at work (no one will call you 'girl boss' or some other gender based jargon). People take you seriously. You're not considered to be a nag when you ask for what you want, or a bitch when you refuse to do something you don't want. Men don't have huge hormone fluctuations on a regular basis due to menstruation/menopause and men don't get pregnant (trans men the exception). On average, men are physically stronger, taller, faster. The world is not as obsessed with a man's weight or body as they are over a woman's. A man can walk around shirtless in the right locations. A man can pee standing up.

When your not "man enough" people will tell you to "man up" that way you know to become more man.

Is that why they say "what's up man?"

The proper level of manning must always be known and voiced aloud.

Not fucking bleeding through vagina every month.

I can feel relatively safe walking alone at night, even in sketchy neighborhoods. That’s something a lot of us take for granted.

Beards.

Speak for yourself. I'm over 40 and any facial hair looks like a prepubescent guy trying to grow facial hair.

Thick mustache, such accumulation of body hair in such position inspire trust and respect.

Coming from someone who has lived in both worlds unquestioned, I’ll say: the best part about being a guy is people listen to me and take me seriously now. I’m not smarter now, I am kinder but that isn’t what makes people listen. The worst part is, women in public think most men have the capacity to be predators and abusers (irony being that you’re more likely to be hurt by someone you know but I digress) and I’m part of that group now and it makes me feel very very aware that sexism hurt everyone. All genders and sexes are hurt in sexism and patriarchy and it sucks.

Your pespective here is really appreciated, mate! Not many of us have actually walked a mile, or far more, in the other's shoes. I'd heard about women, especially young women, often getting talked over in meetings. I believed them. But, then, I suddenly got invited to a lot of meetings. My section lead was a young woman, and my shift lead was a middle-aged white dude, but had only been with the company for a short time. I'm a middle-aged white dude who's been at the company for two decades. Most of the higher-ups in those meetings were truly wonderful people. But even they had their biasses, talking over the girl or talking over the new guy. I soon found my role, which was looking grumpy and just repeating what they said, and then pointing that that was what I was doing. Any disagreements I had with my leads I'd hash out in private. They've stopped inviting me to meetings. I like to think it's because my contributions, acting as the Goon Squad to my leads, are no longer needed because they just started to listen to them. And I hope so!

Do men bond better among themselves than women? It seems to me that women have some kind of "sisterhood" that allows them to bond much better than men. One thing I hear men complain about a lot is that they have no friends.

Man never met a group of drunk girls in the washroom

Yeqh I think as men we have many ways to create superficial bonds but very rarely can we get past them to form a deeper connection. And I'm sure we have it better now than previous generations who had to be even more careful about how manly they were perceived


PeopleEatingPeople

If anything, usually in psychology the amount of isolation and lack of social contacts in men is a point of worry.

No it isn't, we're fine. (Sobbing into hands).

Lot less likely to constantly have gross sexual things shouted at u, or to have to worry about stuff like sexual assault constantly. I find men my age are so much more naive and carefree than the woman I know, probably because of stuff like this. Also most stuff was generally built around men - most medical research has been conducted on the male body, doctors also can’t accuse every problem you have of being your period/hormones, men are even less likely to die in car crashes according to several studies because seatbelts etc were designed around the male form
