Are there any unconditional benefits of being a man

Time-Dot-6608 · 2026-02-20T01:35:44+00:00

Being able to pee standing up

Nothing. The only benefits we have are due to nature like strength. But any other benefits from society? Nope, none. Main cause of death for men is SUICIDE, so you know society is fucked up.

AllGearedUp · 2026-02-19T20:41:52+00:00

Well men certainly have an athletic strength advantage but that's not so relevant in modern life.

SemioticSignifier · 2026-02-20T16:05:36+00:00

The privilege of being the victim of misandry.

l339 · 2026-02-19T23:29:54+00:00

The period thing is actually pretty chill I think, not having huge stomach aches, random bleeding and random mood swings once a month sounds great honestly

Pretend-Storm4566 · 2026-02-20T03:24:46+00:00

All the benefits I see mentioned below are due to nature. Any we owe to society? The only one I can ever think of is, since I'm the one expected to pursue the opposite sex, to reject a woman, all I have to do is not ask. I usually don't have to say "no". There are quite a few exceptions to this though. I mean I've been asked out a fair number of times, so sometimes I've had to say "no".

You don't have to wear a bra🤷‍♂️

Natural benefits? Yes, a lot. Societal benefits? Not that many.

Preform_Perform · 2026-02-20T18:42:11+00:00

Well, inadvertently due to DEI hiring practices, I assume a man with a job is good enough at his work to overcome shitty hiring practices.

flame_badger · 2026-02-19T23:26:11+00:00

Not having to go through menopause.

NewMoonlightavenger · 2026-02-20T03:04:08+00:00

Nobody is going to miss me when I die.

Frird2008 · 2026-02-19T23:54:22+00:00

Yes. That you get to hibernate in the winter.

cpoyntonc · 2026-02-20T12:45:53+00:00

Caveman grunts and bold movements are easy to understand

ls12b175 · 2026-02-20T15:11:15+00:00

The neutral brain head is pretty neat

ginogon · 2026-02-21T08:26:34+00:00

Your suits and wardrobe can be BIFL, not a one occasion outfit.

thatnavyguy87 · 2026-02-20T20:14:28+00:00

Not bleeding out of our dicks for 5-10 days a month

HunterRenegade09 · 2026-02-20T11:38:59+00:00

Yes. You get to leave this hell hole early.

Low estrogen levels.

The benefits of being a man include:

enjoying logic without emotion
heterosexual relations with women, including sex
the opportunity to be a father
ability to do difficult physical exercises
intense focus on complex tasks
being ones most trusted companion
having a strong sense of self
the power to plan and build

There’s more but those are just a few of the many benefits I get from being a man.

FamiliarDragonfly565 · 2026-02-20T18:22:13+00:00

Honestly we have a lot in the sense of we're problem solvers, more logical, take accountability, further mankind with our intercultural capacities, our strength, our resilience , our natural protective nature, our sense of simplicity and peace, our capability for love, our selflessness to provide, our masculinity is amazing and so on.

The problem is our society doesn't want to admit any of this and has perverted what a man is to fit narratives.

63daddy · 2026-02-20T19:55:12+00:00

If I’m a man who chooses to identify as female, then yes.

Mysterious_Dot00 · 2026-02-20T23:18:45+00:00

Its crazy how no one wrote the biggest advantage.

Not having an uterus = no fear of getting pregnant.

Like we men get to have sex with random women and dont need to think about the what if i get pregnant.

And yes there are condoms and birth control sure, but condoms need the guy to actually wear it and not pull it off during sex.

Birth controlls screws with a lot of womens hormones and also can be expensive for long term, + always having to think about taking it.

Like as i man i am thankful i can't get pregnant.

roharareddit · 2026-02-21T00:22:05+00:00

Aging better than women. That's all.

howbedebody · 2026-02-21T05:40:50+00:00

our body is not as controlled by our hormones as much as women’s are and we don’t have a cycle like women do

shonmao · 2026-02-26T08:17:46+00:00

… at least you aren’t a woman. Despite the ‘male loneliness’ epidemic, we are still less affected than women. Despite all of their advantages, a vast majority of women are miserable and by their own agency. The agency they cannot see.

Sad_Channel_9154 · 2026-03-07T15:34:26+00:00

Being able to maintain a logical, objective perspective in the face of adversity

Time-Dot-6608 · 2026-02-20T01:38:37+00:00

Not being held socially responsible for the actions/ behaviours of your children.
