I talk about this a lot. But only through articles, studies, and online though. And no antidotes from me usually. The woman in the video sums up my experience with women in real-life perfectly. I'm not joking here. This has been my everyday experience with women in real life.

In my experience a lot of women feel entitled to me giving them special treatment. Whether that's me giving up my seat on a bus, or doing their jobs at work. And it usually doesn't matter what political/social beliefs women have either. Whether it's a tradcon or radfem. Again it doesn't matter. Both would expect special treatment from me or other men.

I remember when I was working in Warehouse jobs, where I had to work in multiple positions because there were less workers. When women didn't feel like doing their jobs, they would expect me or other men to do it for them.

At this job I had to open boxes with tied pods in them. And then I put these tide pods in these blue bins. Than another person has to stack up the empty boxes after take the tide pods out of the boxes. So it's a two person (usually two man) job. Women would usually expect me to go back and forth between putting the tide pods in the blue bins, and also stacking up the boxes. Which can be really challenging, especially in a job where you standing for hours.

And on top of that the other women who are opening up the tide pods bags, and pouring them on the line. Expected me to make sure I set up the tide pod bags properly in the blue bins. Keep in mind this is a job where I have to move fast, and make sure I fill the blue bins as much as possible. So expecting that I stacked these bags properly in a crowded small bin (and also I have to hold the boxes upside down, for the tide pod bags to drop in the bin) is ridiculous. And also what would make it's worse. Is that the female workers on the line are allowed to fix the tide pod bags on their own. But somehow all of the women at that job had an unwritten rule that this was a man job to do.

I think talking about this topic is important for men issues. Because we have to remind society the more progressive we get, the more we can't have our cake and want to eat it too (so no Cakism).

Again a lot of women struggle to tell the difference between equality and misogyny. I'm sure most of us are aware of the studies about women mistaking benevolent sexist actions as being pro women. Again with my antidote. Women look at me funny, when I don't perform traditional masculinity for them or do chivalry things for them. It's like they get perplexed by my indifference towards them lol.

I have another funny antidote from high school. There was this very popular girl in high school. Everybody loved her. All the boys drool over her. She would get so much attention in the hallways and class. Note I was a quiet kid who didn't say much, and usually sit the back of all the classes and the lunch room. I didn't know anything about this girl. All I know about this girl, was that she was the most popular student in school. That's it.

One day in the cafeteria. She came all the way to the back, and sit at a empty table with me. I had earphones on. And she then proceed to tap on the table to get my attention (earphones on). And then I took my earphones off, to see why this random person is trying to communicate with me while I have earphones on during lunch break.

And then she said why don't you like me. I was confused. Again I never spoke to this person. So I wonder why would she get that impression of me. Then I told her I just don't like anybody, and then put my earphones back on lol. And then she just look at me and giggles.

So the point of bringing this story up. I treated this girl like everyone else. I never even interact with her before. And this is the reaction she has. She thinks I dislike her. Again keep in mind I never spoke to her lol. Let that sink in guys. The lesson of this story here fellas. Is that women will dislike you if you don't engage in benevolent sexism. I'm partially joking here. But I'm also serious at the same time too.

Usually when it comes to men still being expected to adhere to traditional gender roles like giving women special treatment in a progressive society. Feminists try to downplay this obvious fact. By doing all sorts of mental gymnastics to justify why men should still adhere to traditional gender roles.

Just some examples.

1: Men make more money than women. If course they should pay on dates.

2: A men opening doors for women show that they respect women.

3: And my favorite women have it harder than men, because men are privilege and created the Patriarchy.

Number 3 just translates to " Oh I'm going to use the woman victim card as a way to justify why men should adhere to traditional gender roles".

In conclusion.

The lesson here. This is ironically a lesson feminists usually teach men.

When you are so accustomed to privilege. Equality starts to feel like oppression.
