    I don’t think you read the post correctly

      So you are asking the ladies what they can do that a man can’t? Fair enough. Other than the few answers you’ve already gotten about typical “girly” things like wearing makeup, dresses, and watching children l personally can’t think of others that would apply to me directly. Truth is I feel bad that everyone can’t dress or behave as is comfortable for them. There are guys who want to be able to wear makeup/dresses or be recognized for being real parents. And I would love to be able to be taken seriously when I speak or scratch my crotch in public. I too am interested in the answers here because being a woman doesn’t get you too many “benefits” in society that aren’t two-faced and dinegrating.

        I think with a forced gender binary, any advantages are double sided: men are respected, but not allowed to show emotion; women are cared for, but infantilized; men earn more money, but can’t ask for help; women are trusted with children, but not computers; men get to go on adventures, but can’t back down from a fight.

        Like, with other forms of bigotry, there’s a much clearer “winner,” but sexism fucks everyone. I don’t think it fucks everyone equally, but it does negatively impact everyone.
