Women aren't subjected to the expectation of society's standard of "manliness" so they don't have that kinda pressure. That standard can really mess guys up though because you have a harder time being true to yourself. Women, I think, are used to being belittled or objectified so I believe they're better experts at adaptability to situations because survival.
I haven't seen women being belittled and objectified. What you all see in pub is how women act irl here. Maybe that's why we all have different opinions. It's the vast differences in the women in our areas.
lmfao :lol: yeah but jaco (op) will deny ? that’s the type of person he is ? he skipped past my comment but he’ll definitely say something now lololol be prepared for a whole bunch of alpha male nonsense.
About a year ago, round the #MeToo time, my mother asked me if I knew what kind of man I wanted to be... And all I knew to tell her was that I was *myself* basically because that question confused me. I figured she was hoping to get some answer out of me that was avoiding all of the #ToxicMasculinity stuff... I'm only now realizing what it means to be a man, and how that might feed into my own identity... It's interesting. I think our gender can impose on our true identities. I think that women often aren't true to themselves because of their femininity and same goes for guys, we just have to deal with that stuff differently. I can see why you'd say that women adapt better... It's sort of a sad thing when I think about it more deeply, though. The amount of obligations one has, the harder it can be to adapt to change, men do more to surplant themselves in the world and change things, and thus leaving them can be harder. A man's job was traditionally seen similarly to a woman's child... But we see a man taken away from his job as not having lost anything of great value and thus say they're bad at adapting, when if a mother had lost a child, we would understand if they spend years grieving... Not to say that they're completely equivalent: men have children too and are devastated as well, but perhaps their passion is split between the two. Lots of interesting ways of reading into that.
