The worst part of being a male is that I'm ugly and unpleasant, so I can never get a girlfriend. Or just casual sex. (technically, this would apply regardless of gender)

I hate that it is just naturally assumed I am a fucking horndog because I'm a dude.
When people find out I'm asexual, somehow that makes me not a man. Because men are just like that, supposedly. If you don't want to stick your wang in any warm, inviting hole that presents itself, you may as well just be a statue or something.
I have actually had people come up and say things to the effect of "why don't you just get castrated since your dick is basically useless." And then they sit and stare at me with inquisitive little dumbfuck eyes and a vapid smile like they didn't just say something completely fucking retarded.

Most of the stereotypes but mainly I hate the "Guys are the ones who need to be forward, that's the rule" gender role. I'm not shy, I just always feel like a scuz trying to learn if a girl I like reciprocates.
The fact that guys have to do all the work when trying to attract girls. A lot of girls don't even bother to put in any effort, they just wait for you to come to them. (Apologies to any girls out there if you consider this a generalisation)
Oh my God, are you ME from the future?!?!Darkeagle6 said:

But seriously, I don't like the fact that, since I'm a guy, I'm "supposed" to think of nothing other then sex. That's just stupid.
same here. on all counts. if you live in scotland and are 15, and live with your father then you may be my possible twin...Simskiller said:
that and the whole 'guys cant wear x clothes' like skirts.
lucky scotland doesnt have that problem. we ENCOURAGE our men to wear fancy skirts with matching purses! oh and knives in our socks... which are legal...
The stereotypes that come with being a gay male, its so annoying when someone is shocked that I like playing sport, hate shopping, have no fashion sense, don't have a high toned voice, am not promiscuous and I don't go to clubs. Honestly some people need to stop watching TV and movies, it's messing with their views on reality.
Edit: Oh and that one time I met a friends uni mate who expressed utter confusion at the fact that I'm gay and play all kinds of FPS's (and dominate at COD). Because the only game I can like is Hello Kitty Island Adventure.

I love being a women.
My main problem with it is childbirth and periods. Mostly the former. It's going to hurt...
Other than that, obviously women have flaws but I wouldn't want to be a different gender.

No. It's not dead and gone. If you truly believe it is then you are living in some sort of Utopian society.retyopy said:
Periods, having to "look perfect all the time" and immature sexist remarks.. they are annoying. All are evil.
I despise gender roles period. Why does being born with testicles denote any kind of expectations towards how I should act or what I take interest in?
Well to be fair, from the male perspective monthly genital bleeding is a rather terrifying idea[footnote]that was a joke, please don't hit me.[/footnote].Erana said:
OT: I dislike the idea that men have to make every single move when it comes to starting relationships and are at times expected to make decisions for a woman. To me that sounds like you're dealing with some sort of child and as such would make me feel a bit like a paedophile.
I fully expect my partners to make their own decisions and ask if they need help with it, and if they really want me they sure as hell can come and get me.
I'm a guy. That being said, I don't think it should matter what my gender is when I say this. I think men and women should be completely equal. In all aspects. If someone makes a joke, deal with it. If someone holds a door open, just say thank you: no one wants to hear about how 'independent' you are, male or female. Period. Completely equal means completely equal. But, if either gender wants special treatment, it comes at a cost.I_am_a_Spoon said:
Born and raised there, ha ha. Left some years ago. Gender roles where men are expected to be the provider and protector are still around. And very strong. You have no clue what you're talking about, man. My girlfriend and I pay for ourselves or alternate who pays on dates and visits (long distance). Last time I visited her, she payed for everything for the entire week. As I had done several weeks before. When I did it, most of my friends and co-workers saw it as sweet and kind of me. When she did it, I was being a bum. A freeloader. I should have been the one to pay, several said.retyopy said:
The expectation of a man to be a provider, though lessened, is still around. And you are plain wrong or blind if you think otherwise. Just yesterday we had a poll about who should pay on dates. Look at this forum. Look at feminists. As long as things like this are being created, then the problem is still there. I am confronted with it often.

Pansexual transwoman here, if you two don't want em, donate to a good cause (If only they could do that eh?)
On topic: As someone who's had to deal with gender issues all my life (In being a transsexual) As well as being afforded a very unique view on the subject, coupled with some pretty logical areas of thought. Gender really is a societal construct really, the only major reason that most of the gender stereotypes/expectations even exist, is to control the people it influences.
There's glaring examples of this all over the place, I mean, look at Axe/Lynx ads, or beer ads that are aimed at men, making it out to mean that they're manlier men if they use/consume the product(s) This fear of men appearing feminine is compounded by that sort of advertising. Look at how prevalent this is online, all the kids calling each other homophobic/feminine names and the like, in an attempt to use feminine qualities as an insult. This didn't exist in such levels in the past.
It's not just the guys who are victims either. For example, 70% of women aren't able to correctly identify the parts that make up their own genitalia. This is a result of the constant sexism, and shunning of female sexuality. Women are told from a very young age that their bits are dirty, and wrong. Later on in life, they're told that being sexual in any sort of manner is wrong, and they're bad people for even thinking it.
Basically, if the concept of gender, and gender norms never existed, we'd all be able to freely express ourselves as we'd like, and not be ridiculed for it
I'd go on with more examples... and how sexism/gender inequality has actually led to homophobia/transphobia... But it's just too damn hot, and I may of just made my first drunk post... I think I did well
