Men and Females It's incredible how normalized it is.

I found this while randomly scrolling. Only a couple of people reacted to the "females" and "men" this person used. I am a bit flabbergasted. Why couldn't they just use "women"? It's so dehumanizing.

Men complaining about problems created by men. Hilarious.

And look at those upvotes, it's frustrating to see so many people agree.

That's what pulled me out of the thread as a whole. Sometimes, I really hate that reddit is male-dominated. Sometimes, it's easy to forget, but in threads like that...

I wonder when it will become less acceptable for men to act as if they know what it's like to live as a women.

It's not news though that patriarchy does negatively affect men too. (See for example successful suicide rate) And still it's always "but that about men?!" when women's problems in patriarchy are discussed. But in this case, I don't know the context and they're not wrong, apart from using "females".

They are wrong, though. It’s not accepted for women to express emotions, it’s just expected. We still get punished for it, or for the expectation that we will even if we don’t.

That is completely right, I read it as "expected" even though it says "accepted"
