I don't know about you, but my biggest problem is having too much privilege.

I can't walk down the street without people handing me whiskey and cigars and offering me CEO jobs. Sheesh, can't I just get to the store to get a simple tin of free caviar?

Emotional unavailability of others.

As a woman, I definitely face a lot of hardships that men don't have to deal with. But when I'm at my point of breaking, sobbing and inconsolable, I know I can message one of my friends (usually one of the girls) and cry and bitch to them about it and they will listen to me and really connect with me. They will tell me how shitty the person who did that is, how difficult it must be to deal with, how strong I am for persevering in the face of adversity.

This is incredibly solipsistic in my opinion. The way I would handle that situation would be to just let the pain pass, and then call my friend (who happens to be a woman) and figure out how to solve the problem or prevent it from happening again. This is the essential part for me. All the feely stuff she describes is useless to me because it doesn't help me progress as a human being.

I am emotionally available to the right people, but because I constantly work on myself and how I handle my emotions I don't really need to. I haven't cried for 3-4 years. Not because I suppress my emotions but because I haven't felt the need to.

The way I see it she basically sees men as defective women.
