it’s men and women, not men vs women ❤️

Women are naturally more flexible
Men are naturally stronger
Women are naturally more empathetic
Men are naturally more practical
One third of women are depressed
80% of suicides are men

It’s not supposed to be men vs women
it was always men and women and everyone in between ❤️
We weren’t made to compete

let’s stop the gender wars, yes women have it really hard in some aspects, men have it really hard in others, fighting has gotten us nowhere, we need to help eachother.

Please don’t let social media make you hate the opposite gender.

hot take: if men have moobs they should wear a bra 😭 j/k

but in all seriousness if a girl is relatively flat, like in the video, why is she shamed for not wearing a bra? like bro everyone has nipples, i understand for women with larger chests, as a 30C if i didn’t wear a bra i’d be very uncomfortable, but like bro i see some dudes with bigger tits than me and i’m js like, “i feel like he should wear a bra…” or something bro. cuz why am i getting shamed for not wearing a bra when big timmy over here has triple D’s just hanging out.

male baldness is studied more than endometriosis 🤦‍♀️

it genuinely frustrates me that male pattern baldness has been researched more than endometriosis, even though endometriosis affects around 1 in 10 women globally (around 190 million individuals), causing chronic and debilitating pelvic pain, organ damage, and infertility, yet it has no known cure and an average diagnostic delay of 7 to 10 years. \[[1](https://cardiffjournalism.co.uk/thecardiffian/2025/03/25/more-research-into-male-baldness-than-incurable-endometriosis-despite-10-years-of-endomarch/), [2](https://www.instagram.com/p/DJLAdUJS27l/), [3](https://www.scu.edu/ethics/healthcare-ethics-blog/the-ethics-of-endometriosis-care-when-invisibility-becomes-injustice/), [4](https://www.theblood.io/blog/the-gender-health-gap-why-womens-health-still-isnt-treated-equally), [5](https://www.instagram.com/p/DZnal-lmDae/)\\\]
studies analyzing disease burden versus funding (such as evaluations of National Institutes of Health data) show that female-dominant pain and reproductive conditions are severely underfunded relative to the number of people disabled by them. \[[1](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8290307/), [2](https://www.theblood.io/blog/the-gender-health-gap-why-womens-health-still-isnt-treated-equally), [3](https://www.theblood.io/blog/the-gender-health-gap-why-womens-health-still-isnt-treated-equally)\\\]
male pattern baldness and similar quality of life conditions draw multibillion dollar consumer markets, venture capital, and pharmaceutical pipelines resulting in multiple FDA-approved treatments, whereas therapeutic development for endometriosis remains painfully slow. \[[1](https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1699335285562808&set=a.472059978290351&id=100064590586451), [2](https://www.scu.edu/ethics/healthcare-ethics-blog/the-ethics-of-endometriosis-care-when-invisibility-becomes-injustice/), [3](https://www.theblood.io/blog/the-gender-health-gap-why-womens-health-still-isnt-treated-equally)\\\]

Endometriosis has no cure, can take years to diagnose, and can seriously affect someone’s quality of life. It just feels insane that people with a disease this common are still being told to “take birth control” or “get pregnant” instead of having better diagnostic tools and treatments.
i’m not saying hair loss research is useless i’m just asking why a disease that affects millions of people and can cause debilitating pain is still so poorly researched.

there was a study done on endometriosis that literally only measured a woman’s attractiveness with this debilitating disease.

MAGA pastor calls to overturn women’s right to vote

‼️ Please watch the video link i included for what the pastor has said ‼️

He is someone who works closely with Trump administration officials. This man is, Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hegseths, personal pastor. Meaning this is the pastor of somebody working in the highest leadership role of the Pentagon in the Trump regime.

edit: i am not appreciating some of the hate of christianity in the comments. hate the christian not the religion. as a christian myself i absolutely rebuke this man but please stop hating on the religion itself because many “christians” don’t portray it properly.

wow people are disgusting

Just to clarify a few things: The story goes back to a security campaign launched by Surrey Police in Britain called "Jog On." Here are the details and facts of this campaign: The idea and objective: Female police officers were sent undercover in sportswear to run in areas where women had reported experiencing persistent harassment. The aim was to identify harassers and protect women. The record speed (10 minutes): The first undercover officer was harassed (car horns blaring and inappropriate gestures) in less than 10 minutes after starting her run, and the same thing happened from another car just 30 seconds later. The outcome (18 arrests): This pilot campaign lasted for about a month and resulted in the arrest of 18 people on various charges including harassment, sexual assault, and theft. Others were detained, educated, and given legal warnings.

huh, interesting

i have no words 😭

This is the 2017 conference held by Mike Pence and fellow Republicans discussing the ACA. Talks included important topics like maternity leave and health care associated with giving birth. It's not all that was discussed, but it probably would have benefited from having more women there as there was only a single woman, which they excluded from the picture.

edit: for those who don’t like to read my posts, there was a single woman in attendance, she was excluded from the photo.

As a note: The conservative Freedom Caucus doesn't have any female members.

You can condemn misandry without pretending that it has had the same historical or structural impact as misogyny

🚨 please read

I'm not saying misandry doesn't exist or that it’s not an issue. Of course people can be prejudiced or hateful towards men. My point is that comparing misandry and misogyny as if they're the same thing ignores the history, scale and impact behind them. By saying they’re the same thing literally dismisses all the suffering women have gone through. That’s like saying “being racist towards white people is the same as being racist towards black people” by definition, yes it’s the same thing, but the history behind racism of black people and the history behind racism of white people are two very different things.

Individual instances of misandry can absolutely be harmful, but misogyny has historically been embedded in broader social, political, and economic systems that have restricted women’s rights, autonomy, safety, and opportunities on a much larger scale. So acknowledging that both forms of prejudice exist doesn’t mean they are equivalent in their origins, power, or consequences. You can condemn misandry without pretending that it has had the same historical or structural impact as misogyny.

edit: it seems that many of you have misunderstood me. in no way am i trying to dismiss the effects of misandry on society as a whole, it is also a very important issue. but saying it’s the same thing as misogyny is ignorant to history. misandry is definitely an issue and should not be ignored because “other people have it worse!” that is not what i’m saying.

as a feminist the normalization of this is horrible

‼️ read before commenting ‼️

i’m a girl and a feminist, i believe men and women are equal and i have a more egalitarian outlook but i use the term feminism for what it’s original purpose was, to give women the same rights that men have, not “women are better than men” or “women and men are biologically the same” both are incorrect.

anyway i find posts like the image i added so unfunny and weird. “haha women abusing men” in what world is that funny??? they’re literally setting women back and causing so much hate towards real feminists.

by the way anyone promoting misandry while saying they’re a feminist is using the history of feminism as a moral shield, hating someone because of their gender is so weird. just because some men have committed horrific crimes doesn’t mean every single man will and vice versa for women. “but men have a history of oppressing women! this is just a joke!” find something else to joke about because if the roles were reversed we would all be able to recognize how weird it is.

i hate living in a house with just men

‼️ please read before commenting ‼️

so i (16f) live with my dad and my two brothers (14m and 12m) and im so tired of always cleaning up after all of them, always making the food, always folding their clothes, etc. they never leave the toilet seats down even after i ask them every day to do so, they never clean up their dishes, or their dirty clothes, and this is also my dad. i give my dad some lenience because he is working from home all the time but like he should be able to put the toilet seat down, and pick up his dirty clothes. im starting to feel like a literal maid and i’ve brought this up to them and they say they care and they say they’ll try to do better but NOTHING HAPPENS. they’ll load the dishwasher all wrong, they’ll wash clothes with towels, they’ll roll the clothes up instead of folding them and i feel like they’re doing it on purpose because no way are you all this incompetent. i’ve heard about weaponizing incompetence but like that’s just a buzzword and idk if it’s true. i need help you guys!!! we also go to family therapy and they act like angels there but at home they’re always yelling at me. i hate it so much i wish i had my mom back.

edit: yes ive tried not doing anything and letting them see how gross they are. it doesnt work, its either so disgusting that i just step in and clean it myself or they yell at me to clean it

my biggest fear is marrying an incompetent man

is it crazy that one of my biggest fears is marrying an incompetent man? i know there are so many great men out there but i also know that when times get tough some men weaponize incompetence and im so scared of that.
i also dont really want to be alone my whole life but i have pretty high standards and idk
also before people come at me im not saying this is the worst thing in the world and i know many people have it worse than me, im just expressing a frustration but in no way am i trying to dismiss real world issues.

i’m a 16 yo girl and i told this guy in my class that i don’t want to have kids, and he got so upset and he’s like “bro why not? that’s horrible, you should be a mother.” and i said “i don’t want to put myself through pregnancy, labor, and postpartum because id have to do it all by myself.” and he was like “ah you’ll change your mind when you’re older. i’ve always wanted to be a dad to carry on my legacy” THEN ASK ME WHEN IM OLDER??? and what legacy bro? of course you want to be a dad cuz dads barely do anything and they get praised for doing the bare minimum. stop getting upset about my opinions bro

is this a hot take? (read desc)

‼️ please read before commenting ‼️

i am a catholic christian and i believe abortion is a horrible thing. that’s why I, as in ME, will never get one.
many people AREN’T catholic so they don’t hold the same beliefs as me, and that’s totally fine but why would we make a law to force them to have a baby? just because it goes against our beliefs?
Let’s just take religion and personal beliefs fully out of the equation and look at the legal definition of murder and a human (check the second and third picture i provided)
in a country that values religious freedom and individual liberty the law should not enforce one particular religious belief on everyone i have the freedom to choose not to have an abortion because of my faith someone else guided by different beliefs or circumstances, should have the freedom to make a different choice
protecting the legal right to choose does not require me to approve of abortion it simply means acknowledging that in a diverse society people have the freedom to make deeply personal decisions according to their own conscience.

a pregnancy is unique because the fetus depends entirely on one specific person's body for survival no one else can take over that biological role even if you believe the fetus has moral value, that doesn't answer the separate question of whether the government should require someone to use their body to sustain another life
