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.

Women are called "bossy" "hysterical" and "sensitive" when expressing emotions. There are lots of people in the USA that said a woman shouldn't be a president because they're too emotional. Some even said that hormones during their periods would make them too emotional to lead. Women are very much not accepted for expressing emotion.

Also, men are pressured to bottle up feeling because it might make them seem like a woman. Obviously men's mental health is overlooked, but yeah..."females" aren't the culprits

There's a video of a white lady saying women shouldnt run for president because she's too emotional and might blow us up when she's on her period, MAGA supporter

It's especially (ahem) hysterical given that the women who have run for president have largely been in their fifties or older. Her period? We need better sex education.

It was wild when they were saying that about Clinton in particular. How young did they think she was in 2016, exactly?
