People who eat their french fries with a fork.5

No, you don't speak for most guys. That line of thought is ignorant, dangerous, and part of the problem. We have enough advantages so objectify me? That doesn't even make sense.
If it's not appropriate for a man to say they will "ogle someone's fake boobs", then it isn't for a woman/lesbian/etc... And if it isn't appropriate for a man to grab a woman by the p---- or feel up their chests then it isn't for a woman to grab men's c---- and feel up men's chests. As a man, this stuff happened to me multiple times per month when I would go to bars - sexual battery is NEVER ok and it is a natural result of objectification.
Like the OP's topic, this is one of the most disturbing things society accepts as normal.
Alright buddy I'll concede to you on the whole battery thing I suppose...
But my whole disagreement with you comes from this idea that men are victimized unfairly in society today...
As soon as the other side starts speaking up for themselves, we suddenly get these bogus arguments that it goes both ways and the reverse is a bigger problem 🙄...
It's because of this self victimization due to changing times and people standing up for themselves that we get Bs like supreme court justice Bret... What a slime ball 🙄...
Not to mention a president that says things after like "It's a scary time to be a man"...
Sorry Buddy but this whole new idea that men are victims and that's the real problem today.. Is more dangerous... Imho12 -

Headed to add... That we still have a long way to go before the scales are even balanced8 -

I'm your disagree. There are days I can barely get out of bed, but desperately need something from the store and I don't have anyone to go for me. I try to go on "off" hours so people don't look at me the way you probably look at people. Some days brushing my hair hurts, wearing regular shoes or even being able to put regular shoes on is too much.
Not all disabilities are visible, so please try to remember that when you pass judgement on someone just trying to make it through the day.8 -

I’m not trying to sound prudish but people make a big deal about the sexualization of children yet it’s okay in situations as such which is an obvious excuse for males of all ages to gawk over teenage girls.
And those same cheerleaders will get a dress code violation showing up for class if their shoulders aren't covered or their shorts aren't fingertip length.2 -
Mr Healthy... I appreciate the response, my experiences do cause me to get a little riled up about this topic. And I agree there is a good amount of males fighting to keep the status quo. Let's hope the scales are never balanced in terms of abuse, unless it is at zero for everyone.
Peace to you my friend, I wish you the best... ✌🏼0 -
Allowing grown adults to throw a tantrum or act like a dick but being okay with it because it was their alter ego (insert name here) making them act that way.1

Parents avoiding any conversation about puberty, menstruation, bodily changes, sex, etc, with their children until years too late.
I know this still happens, and that's what I'm referring to.
But I hope it happens less than in my day (Gen X). Seriously had to explain all this stuff to 80% of my female friends when we were in middle school, and let my mom fill in the gaps because all of their moms were horrified to even mention childbirth or using pads. Ridiculous.9 -

I remember when my father had "The talk" with me...
I was 16 and it more or less had been avoided up to a point where he realized he couldn't avoid it anymore 😂...
He looked at me and simply said... "YOU BETTER NOT BE DOING ANYTHING STUPID!!" 😂...
That was all the talk I needed, although it didn't work 😂...3 -
Getting your "money's worth" at a buffet restaurant...gluttony I guess for the sake of a dollar value.
I've had people say it's not worth it for me to go to a buffet, because I'm a vegetarian and also probably won't eat 3 plates of food.
To me it's still "worth it" for the variety and getting to pick what I want.
Lol I feel attacked. But this is why I avoid buffets.... because I need to overeat there.1 -
Pineapple on Canadian bacon pizza. 🙄1

Another from the Gen X files: Raising up females to believe they can't do repairs of any sort and not teaching them the several tricks to open jars that are stuck. I still see it. Women at the gas station who don't know how to put air in their tires or change their air filter. Imma show you. It takes 5 minutes.7

I theoretically know how to change a tire, oil, put air in the tires but I’ve never actually had to do it. I’m torn between thinking it’s learned helplessness or that delegating is an equally important skill.4 -

Changing the tire can be difficult if the person who put the tire on used air tools to tighten the lug nuts. Get a can of Liquid Wrench and a cheat bar to improve your chances and keep them in your trunk with your other tools. Blast stubborn lug nuts with liquid wrench, give it a few minutes, insert cheat bar into one of the ends of the lug wrench for leverage, and stomp the cheat bar. If this fails, call AAA. Also keep a crowbar on hand. It's good for leverage and it's good as a creep deterrent.
The air: super easy. unscrew the valve stem caps, put your pressure gauge on there and see current pressure/how much air you need. Put the coins/credit card in the air machine and pump until it hits that pressure. Modern machines can be digitally set to the pressure you choose. Inside the driver's side door of your car it probably states the ideal air pressure or you can find it on the side wall of the tires. Machines are set to default at 32 psi. put back valve stem caps before driving away.
Changing oil: I still have a hangup about this. I have an irrational fear that the car is going to fall and crush me. Trying to get past that.1 -

Right after I teach her how to choke out a boy 😂5 -

This happened to me. I had my period at 15.5 and my mom still hadn’t had a talk with me about it. What’s worse is that she pulled me out of the health class that goes over these topics in 5th grade and 7th grade. It was so embarrassing.3 -
People who think that Dr Oz is sound medical advice.13

I hate this for you. So common, even now. I don't think we had in-depth health classes over these topics until 8th grade, when a lot of people (disturbingly) were sexually active and a couple of girls WERE PREGNANT already...1
