    As an office worker with stupid dress code during summer not allowed to wear shorts, while the ladies can wear the shortest short mini skirts. Fuck that logic

    My ex was convinced that girls hitting / insulting men was not only completely fine and normal, but even hilarious and “cute” for some weird reason - and she legit couldn’t understand why I did not find it funny or endearing. It didn’t help that she was also visibly smaller than me (about 2/3 my height) and percieved those actions as her own unique “love language”.

    Let’s just say that there is a good reason this woman is my EX now. It took a while for the rose-tinted glasses to finally shatter so I could see the red flags for what they were, but I’m glad that psycho is no longer part of my life.

    (I know from mutual friends that she still thinks women hitting men is okay, but men hitting women deserve the death penalty)

    When the hpv vaccine first came out there were production shortages so it was only available to girls and women.

      I believed that was do to risk of cervical cancer. A guy can’t get that cancer so risk of HPV was lower for males.

        Right, so say an 80/20 split in terms of the danger became a 100/0 split in terms of access to the vaccine.

        This seems unlikely. Vaccination is far less effective if you leave a large proportion of the population unprotected. That’s why we vaccinate everyone against rubella even though it’s only dangerous to foetuses if their mother catches it while pregnant.

        I don’t know if it was due to production shortages or a cautious roll out, or a bit of both. But I doubt it was due to the medical profession forgetting how vaccination works.

    A man has no or little respect from peers when he does anything other than convert his life into dollars (both earning dollars and fixing stuff to reduce the outflow of dollars). A woman is encouraged to make dollars, or not, who cares (no more pressure to have children in my social class).

    Men can be out late at night with smaller fear of rape.

    The freedom of the other gender appears to be a double standard.
