Women of reddit, what do you think would be the worst part of being a man?

Losing hair on head, gaining hair on back. Splain that mystery.

Height. If you’re a short woman you get called ‘cute’ and if you’re tall a ‘model’. So win win. I’ve seen so many cases where there would be a smart/handsome looking guy that would be below 5’11 (180cm) get rejected for an average looking stupid guy that’s 6ft+.

Compulsory military service. Cousin had to do 2.5 years of it just because he was born male. He now has chronic knee pain because of it.

The pressure of being perfect. You have to look good, smell good, be good, be great at your job, be the rock, be the glue that holds shit together. & you aren’t even able to have a break down and cry when it gets too much.

The pressure to be successful, and having your worth determined by how much money you make. As a woman, I could essentially get pregnant and retire now in my 20s and have my husband support me, and people would probably see that as a neutral thing. I could have never had an education/ career and that probably wouldn't affect my dating or marriage prospects, as long as I'm attractive enough. Try being even an attractive man, with no education or career prospects trying to marry a women who will work for him. Most women will not take you seriously, and society will see you as unmotivated leech. If a man doesn't make something of themselves professionally, then they are just seen as losers by society.
