The inequality of our social construct as it applies to verbal interaction between men and women

It is so funny to me that women think that men cheat when they are horny, but oh, women cheat cause they are unsatisfied. Double standards.

My father and mother let my grown sisters go on four hour-long histrionic rants screaming/namecalling so loudly everyone in our neighborhood can hear it but if I so much as raise my voice slightly, I get told to be quiet and that as a man I have to "de-escalate" the situation because "that's what men do". I used to be incredibly frustrated at this blatant double-standard but just got used to it and when people start yelling I walk out the door and leave because you can't win when people are emotional.

Men always blamed for cheating, whether he cheats or gets cheated on, he gets the blame

I do remember one of my classmates mentioning that his girlfriend told him about her day and then once she was done, she had the “where is our relationship going” question

too many

the biggest one I see is just men being expected to know and accept that their feelings good and bad are not and should not be a priority in the relationship, and are less valid and important than their female partners (this isn't something thats said its sort of just there, i don't believe women do it on purpose often).

putting up with long term subtle emotional abuse and being convinced that it's justified/their fault, being expected to put up with it as just moodiness etc rather than abuse.

Women complaining their partners communication or affection style is wrong or insufficient or that they've explained what they want from their partner and what is correct behaviour, without considering some people have different and incompatible ways of communicating, values and behaviour and it's on you to either find a more compatible partner, or not roast yours on the internet for validation that you're right. the expectation is that the man is wrong and will change to the 'right' way, the female way.

women being able to make public jokes about hating all men and wishing death or punishment on specific men.

women disagreeing with men understandably, but then resorting to roasting their physical appearance or other personal traits, rather than specifically deconstructing their opinion or debating them, which is a low blow for anyone gender regardless inappropriate, exactly the opposite of how they wish to be treated, and men cannot retaliate or be offended. (drew afualo for example).

totally acceptable to publicly shame a mans sexual 'incompetence' or objectify them sexually/discuss private sexual interaction, which roles reversed would not and should never be ok.

women initiating sex and then be hurt/angry/offended if a male turns them down, or being pushy and not taking no for an answer, the man being expected to comfort the woman and assure her, her self worth and attractiveness are not tied to whether he's not in the mood for sex right now.

I am a woman and have seen myself fall into some of theses traps, I don't think the behaviour is specifically intended to hurt men or deliberate or conscious, depending on your upbringing and social circle its just sort of there as being 'ok'. rarely are women ever encouraged to consider if the roles were reversed would they accept their same behaviour from a man i don't think. shit's fucked ya know, its sad.
