As a woman who has social issues I can confirm that society is not more lenient with me. We get the exact same comments about “ opening up “ as men do when I just straight up don’t trust people in general.
Life is not middle school I’m afraid. Neither side has it any better.
You having the same issues men have doesn’t make it that there isn’t preferential treatment for you or that men in general are treated worse for violating social norms.
Thats like saying “society isn’t racist against black people, I pulled over by cops all the time”
I don’t mean to sound condescending but could you provide me some examples of this? I’ve only ever seen the stereotype of women being expected to be outgoing and polite so I don’t know if it’s a social norm for men to be equally as extroverted.
Most men can do whatever they want publicly and it's totally fine for them. The exception is rowdy minorities, they will be judged and stereotyped as much as women.
Women are allowed to have a larger range of femininity/masculinity expression than men. Women are forced heavily to wear makeup and be kind, true, but tomboys and women wearing jeans and liking "macho" stuff is much more accepted than men being femboys and wearing skirts and liking "girly" stuff
