The funny thing is when women try to "become men", and they realize how depressing, difficult, and lonely it is to be a man.

It's not all corporate ladders, and CEOs positions sweeties đź’….

It's hard brutal work, years of mockery, ridicule, harassment, belittlement, being unvalidated, and ignored then eventually getting to the point where while most people ignore you, someone in charge recognizes your worthwhile, and gives you the opportunity you've been looking for, or if you are so fortunate enough, you create your own opportunities.

The “become men” narrative depletes women of the super powers they are born with, just like the “toxic masculinity” narrative depletes men of theirs.

I'm talking about like Transgenders (FtM) that are like oh being a man would be so easy, and great then day one to week one they're on the verge of a mental health breakdown because how much harder it is to be a man.

I don’t know if it’s harder than being a woman (couldn’t tell you this lifetime) but for sure it ain’t no cake walk. There’s certainly no free pass because you’re a man.
