    My absolute favourite thing is women doing things that “only men do.”

    (P.S. am a woman)

    After spending ten minutes on the toilet pondering, I think „growing facial hair“ is the best counter-example I can come up with.

    Or I just don‘t know enough women who like growing facial hair.

      I would really love to have a beard. I have joked that I am clearly wishing I were a dwarven woman, because besides this, I am very happy with my assigned gender at birth

      I also have a friend who, due to hormonal stuff, naturally grows an extremely thick and impressive beard and wishes that they didn’t have to shave it (if they don’t, they get hate crimed :( )

      I’m very glad for my eyebrows and eyelashes, and there’s that Sikh woman (relevant because of the religious ban on cutting hair) whose wedding picture went viral like a decade ago. She had a pretty full beard and had styled it beautifully with small flowers woven into it.

        I’d say it’s their balls since their equivalent are ovaries deep inside the body. The dick would be the clitoris, then.

        Some of us were doing facial hair before it was cool…

        … And some of us started going bald in their teens and wanted beards to help cover up double chins and a tiny mouth but did enjoy a brief period of looking like white Jesus before that happened 🧔‍♀️

          Personally I come from a long line of hairy fuckers. Clean shaven is not an option because it literally grows back in less than a day. Plus I like the beard had it for decades.

          As hairy as my face is, I’m thankful I didn’t get the hairy back gene. My legs, chest and ass though, I’m kind of like a satyr without hooves.

    Look, idk about you, but if you haven’t played soldiers and tanks with a bunch of grown ass men, get yourself to a WH40k group and learn what cool is.

        personally, the only person i’ve known who actually played wh40k was a woman (she played tyrannids). i’ve been wanting to get into it since they introduced leagues of votaan, but it is a pricey fuckin hobby to get into.

        I do too. I’ve never met them, but come on. Playing tanks with grown ups. What’s not to love.

        Paint your army, roll a bucket of dice, shout funny things. Play combat patrol, or just do a good ol beer hammer at a local brewery.

    Is there literally anything only men like?

    There are male biased things, ie. gaming, woodworking, wingsuiting, cimbing etc.

    but are there any things literally only males like?

        Agree with the mansplaining angle. Passionate people like to explain, combine this with not being the most socially adept and voila you have mansplaining.

          I think there’s a negative cycle also, where a male-dominated hobby where many people are not super socially skilled makes them more oblivious to some of the nuances that turn “explaining” into “mansplaining” (I.e. they are less likely to understand how their behaviour is making their hobby less welcoming for certain people), which makes the hobby more male dominated, both in appearance and actuality

      having a small penis doesn’t make anyone a bad person, all your other terms are fair and objectively bad, but how do you bot realize you are potentially hurting perfectly decent people with the last one? I know its a widespread practice and that and I am not really mad about it, but it still amazes me how the insult is still used. If someone is an abusive, narcissistic misogynist then that’s bad enough, don’t gotta go there.

      Think about your harmless bros with insecurity issues over this thing that doesn’t make them a lesser person.

      End rant, again not mad at you just a thought.

        I apologize if anything I said appears judgemental or degrading. It was intended as I personally view people that are concerned with size like someone handed a fine instrument that is concerned about the recycling value of the metal and wood. Or, someone that compares movies and songs where they focus on brevity as a primary measure of performance benchmark. I will try to avoid the comment in the future

        There’s nothing wrong with a small penis, but misogynists usually disagree with that so it’s a jab to say they have a small penis. I’m not making fun of the penis, I’m making fun of the misogynist who cares so much in a bad way.

        Although it does come across like you say, so maybe I should stop.

        having a small penis doesn’t make anyone a bad person

        nor does being born with narcissistic personality disorder. It’s not the person’s fault to be born this way. Problems arise only if they refuse to be treated, because then they could harm someone

        also not mad at you

        I think the key is not “small penis”, it’s “misogynist small penis”. You can’t decide your penis (and side note, sometimes a below average penis is sooo much better to handle for the othet party than an oversize log that poses so many problems), you can decide to be an asshole though

      I think you can answer your own question. Either men will like it and their will be other genders that see the appeal or it’s an assoholic male hobby.

      I think there’s truth in it either way. Although I can’t think of many things only men like, expanding it to “anything dominated by an overwhelming proportion of men to woman” still works. I think they’re more cringe than uncool though.

      I mean, you can just be neutral towards or unfamiliar with something, so not necessarily.
