Most of what you all claim is innate really isn't. Human beings are incredibly plastic in our potential behaviors, and a lot of the reasons we classify certain behaviors as "male" or "female" is because one of the things that IS innate in humans is our FIERCE need to conform to the group around us.

In short, if you behave like a bro stereotype, you're doing it to fit in. Likewise if you behave like a female stereotype as a woman.
Oh my god, so my incorrect stuff in here - stop taking gender studies classes!

Gender is NOT a social construct you marxist heathen!

even if it was, why did they pick how things are to be the way it's socially constructed? because biology is that way, biology always comes first.

So I may not even know what I don't know. But here is what I know I don't know.

Please inform me.

1. How men can watch so many hours of sports in one stretch. 4 hrs max for me.

2. Why there isn't more education on how to control your penis. We have info galore on what to do in a bear or shark attack. So many men have issues with cheating or fapping or ed or quick or too long ejaculation but it seems like everything available to you is a pill or broscience. Seems unfair.

3. Why do men bully their friends? The language seems aggressive. I know men report feeling lonely, which is one reason they love women, because they can be more vulnerable without the judgement.

4. Some men make fun of women for their differences - weak, emotional, unambituous. But when these same men see a woman who is strong, logical and ambitious, she is also ridiculed for having those qualities. Do you think men know what they want? Or are they as paradoxical as women?


TLDR: Need a dictionary, boring, OP clueless about men
This is from a female point of view, so I know it's not what you've asked for but still

2. Probably the same reason there's no classes teaching women not to sloot.

3. It's called banter

Can we put this feminist canard to rest once and for all?

Men are not intimidated by women. Not anywhere. Not any time. Intimidation means to frighten somebody into doing what you want them to do. It's feminist projection to think that men respond to women in the same way that women respond to men. We don't. Intimidation should NEVER enter into the equation when you are trying to figure out why we act the way we do.

How can women stand to shop all day? Its all about serotonin and dopamine

You say this as if people have zero control over urges. Everyone knows what is bad and good. You think teaching them how to "control urges" will make a huge difference? How about we tell people that murder is bad. That should stop all that nonsense...
3. Why do men bully their friends? The language seems aggressive. I know men report feeling lonely, which is one reason they love women, because they can be more vulnerable without the judgement.
So youve never roasted one of your female friends i guess?
4. Some men make fun of women for their differences - weak, emotional, unambituous. But when these same men see a woman who is strong, logical and ambitious, she is also ridiculed for having those qualities. Do you think men know what they want? Or are they as paradoxical as women?

Meh...not particularly ambitious, but don't know about that "strong logical" thing. Guys will gripe about how women are so emotional and yet women that are less emotional aren't really liked. Google INTP women least liked or least desirable.

I also think women should be encouraged to learn traditionally "male skills" like taking care of cars or home repair (lesbians be way ahead on this... and yeah I find it annoying when women giggle and go lol I can't do that!! when faced with any task that involves a screwdriver like c'mon) and men should learn how to clean and cook (because then maybe many of you wouldn't have to struggle so hard to eat a healthy diet... or think it's OK to live in filth).
Don't know about fixing cars...will research cars/tires/mechanic though.

But I got that screwdriver down. Flat pack mistress here. I will dominate some IKEA BS.

The truth is you want it all...and so do we (independent, sexy, humble, submissive, family oriented, career oriented) . But the 'total package' people we want don't exist, so we bitch and moan about the shortcomings of all types.
Best response on this point.

He sounds really cool. Bet he actually has reasons for being Republican and vegan both.
