The suggestion of this is disgusting.
And what rights don't you have? And why do you expect the world to change to suit you?

I don't have the ability to get what I want when I want it like women do.

Also, I don't have the ability to get out of things just by getting pregnant. I'm unable to access social programs. I can't get scholarships just for being a woman.

Not sure if serious.

That was definitely sarcasm. Men are far more reasonable than women when it comes to these things.

If you were on the low end of the totem pole (like men are, for the most part), you would not think this way.

Again, women's lack of understanding of the struggles of men truly astound me.
Privileges? I barely survived my childhood and I mean that in a literal way. I won't address the hurdles I then faced, having lived to 18.

You know zero about anyone you're making these assumptions about, and the assumptions are incorrect, yet you cling to them anyway, complete with impassioned commentary (you're astounded now?).

That's odd. Though I've seen the phenomenon before - clinging to one's preferred belief system literally in the face of conflicting evidence and even conflicting experience.

I guess that's one for the psychology boards, though, and not this topic.

It would have to be, but one never knows around here.

This is only true for the top 20-30% of women, looks-wise. I don't know why men cling to this image. Many average women go years without anyone wanting to be their suitor, even when they make an effort and make a move to initiate something.

I know a lot more than you think. I've spent a lot of time around women and I know all about their "struggles".

If anything, this is something that should be said about women. Men have massive struggles and this is obvious. Sure, some (very few) women are unlucky and have a few struggles here and there, but nothing compared to what men experience.

The fact is though that it is not true of any man (beyond celebrities). 30% of women can easily replace men. 60% of the remaining woman can get some men but can't get that 6 foot, good-looking, rich guy. The other 10% have some difficulty attracting men in general.

For men, maybe 1% are able to replace women very easily. Maybe another 10-20% are able to attract some women without much effort. The other 80% have to put in a ton of work to overly entitled women.
