Is There Anything Good About Being a Man?

[NorthernStar]

hmm Ill try

"in certain situations" wont get the crap beaten out of you for being "not manly" enough
and dont have to comform to (downright retarded) rules and veiws on "masculinity" <-again that one only comes up in certian situations

can have multiple orgasms (I think)

can probably get away with geeky things more without being labled a "loser"

having interests in certain things can get you attention..though often it might not be wanted

Well, hate to burst that bubble, but you can be judged like hell for not being 'feminine' enough ;-) Or, in other cases, being too feminine. I guess that's just something that applies to both sexes.

The orgasm thing is true though, then again, there's also the issue of the difficulty with which the orgasm is achieved. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've always had the experience that men achieve orgasm easier and faster than females. Of course, the intensity may differ.

Hrm... the interest in geeky things is an interesting one. I'm female and I've worked in a game store, went to game expo's, etc. That has some positive sides as most guys will generally appreciate it if a girl likes 'geeky' stuff. Then again, I've had customers refusing to talk to me because they were convinced I wasn't knowledgeable enough because I was a female and I've had men ridicule me at gaming events, asking me whether I was there to be a booth babe and that the household fair was in another building.

This stuff probably warrants a topic in its own right, though

"Don't bother your pretty little head with that stuff"
"loL b*tCh gEt bAcK in the kitchen"
"women logic!"
"But... you're a girl. how come you can do/understand/like ________"

plus, y'all have a 99.9% chance of... you know... 'climaxing' during sex. We only have a 40% chance, and that's a liberal estimate. And also, you'll never have to deal with a guy being mad at you because you 'emasculated' him by beating him at a sport of video game. "Oh, hun, you have to make less than I or i won't be able to stick it up" ugh.
Also, the internet, and increasingly pop culture, is full of sexist shit.

OT: men don't have to deal with any of this shit

40%??? seriously?

how much of that has to do with comunication I wonder (no I dont know any thing )

also stop it..your making me depressed

evolutionary, it's not surprising.

oh, and sorry for making you depressed. here's Professor Snugglesworth to cheer you up!

People are really that 'up front' about it. The examples I gave you really happened, and more than once, I'm afraid. In fact, once, it was actually a woman who refused to talk to me because she was convinced my male colleagues were more knowledgeable than me. Sad, but true. I try to shrug it off though. If they're stupid enough to believe some old stereotype, it's their loss.

Just go into the comic store. Why should it make you feel uncomfortable?

 

[Hipster Chick]

You probably won't get raped. Good enough for ya?

I did, and it was good (but seriously...why is it they always have number 2 6 or 8 of a series of paperbacks but NEVER #1??? I want to start at the start dammit!)

its just..you know walking into an unfamiliar place, I didnt want to look confused or out of place (I somtimes dont like it when store people ask me if I need help...) to me comics are a little more unfamiliar terrirtoy than games...or action figures

I got over it very quickly, and picked up a few books

[b/] I've had men ridicule me at gaming events, asking me whether I was there to be a booth babe and that the household fair was in another building [/b] < that would piss me off...if that happened to me, depending on the guy I wouldn't hold back on ridiculing him for being a "neckbeard" (you know...only if he were a neckbeard)

From a theoretical stand point, men and women are neither superior nor inferior to one another.

From a social stand point, I feel that society expects more out of men than women and bestows upon them the responsibility to lead the world in innovation and progress.

I don't mean to sound offensive, but wasn't the superiority that men held in the past the driving force for women to a.) acquire the same achievements of men, b.) acquire the same achievements of men, only better, or c.) accomplish something that a man has yet to do so himself?

Well, we have cocks, those are pretty cool...

 

[Manoose47]

seriously? you have to ask this question? go do some press-ups and watch commando!

MAN CARD REVOKED!

I was actually talking about this with some of my friends today. We discovered that all of the women I know are incapable of thinking about nothing. Men can just blank our minds and stare absently into space, but apparently women cannot do this. They are unable to not think. I like to think that's a plus.

Actually, this has to be the biggest plus I've seen in the thread. I love the occasions when I just let my mind idle, but my female relatives (my mom in particular) seem to be incapable of this zen-lite technique.

Second biggest plus is, of course, shown to us by Mulan. Third would have to be urinals. Fourth is the MANLY ability to play our gender as an adjective and get away with it.

Honestly, I think men are limited in the ways they can express themselves or, well, do whatever they want (within reason) without being ridiculed. For example, I'm what the internet likes to refer to as a Brony, but if I told the guys at college I watched a show about Twilight Sparkle and her pals I'd probably get called a fag or something.
Also, lack of multi-gasms displeases me.

 

[IamQ]

Most men are more comfortable about jokes about themselves. A man can joke about men, but you won't see many women joking about how silly they are.

In the words of Louis CK

Spoiler: Hidden for brevity's sake.

Sorry I?m being so negative. I?m a bummer, I don?t know I shouldn?t be I?m a very lucky guy. I got a lot going from me. I?m a healthy, I?m relatively young. I?m white; which thank God for that sh** boy. That is a huge leg up, are you kidding me? I love being white I really do. Seriously, if you?re not white you?re missing out because this sh** is thoroughly good. Let me be clear by the way, I?m not saying that white people are better. I?m saying that being white is clearly better, who could even argue? If it was an option I would reup ever year. Oh yeah I?ll take white again absolutely, I?ve been enjoying that, I?ll stick with white thank you. Here?s how great it is to be white, I could get in a time machine and go to any time and it would be fuckin? awesome when I get there. That is exclusively a white privilege. Black people can?t fuck with time machines. A black guy in a time machine is like hey anything before 1980 no thank you, I don?t want to go. But I can go to any time. The year 2, I don?t even know what was happening then but I know when I get there, welcome we have a table right here for you sir. ? thank you, it?s lovely here in the year 2. I can go to any time in the past, I don?t want to go to the future and find out what happens to white people because we?re going to pay hard for this shit, you gotta know that ? we?re not just gonna fall from number 1 to 2. They?re going to hold us down and fuck us in the ass forever and we totally deserve it but for now wheeeee. If you?re white and you don?t admit that it?s great, you?re an asshole. It is great and I?m a man. How many advantages can one person have? I?m a white man, you can?t even hurt my feelings. What can you really call a white man that really digs deep? Hey cracker ? oh ruined my day. Boy shouldn?t have called me a cracker, bringing me back to owning land and people what a drag.
