(19,841 posts)I said BE Hillary. There is a difference. Would you really want people hounding you every minute for being a woman who is perceived as a feminist ("feminazi"
? I don't think you would want her struggle, that is--to try to make it in what is clearly a man's world. I wouldn't.
But OK. You say you're Gen Y and you're feel you have to put yourself out there for women too much?
It's the 21st century. You don't have to pay for every dinner date. You don't have to open doors for women any more than for a man. You don't have to give women expensive trinkets. Find some different women to go out with.
Young men today make less than their fathers but they still make more than their sisters. Not much has changed there. In a field that is dominated by women, like pharmacy, nursing, teaching--sorry if you find it rough--if more men were in those professions, well maybe things would be better.
As for advantages of being male--"nobody looks at me weird if I'm mowing my lawn." WTF. Where do you live? Where I live, women are mowing lawns without worrying about their image.
Think on it honestly some more, McDiggy.
The longer you live, the more you will see that sexism is alive and well.
