We have made massive improvements in equality over the years, but we’re not naive enough to know that sexism will always exist as long as there are men and women on the planet. We also know that men will always have male privilege, and women will have their privileges. Even though some things on the list will take a longer process to correct, we would like to try and ensure that women will soon have the equality they deserve and desire.
Not Being Told They’re Emotional
One person on a forum said, “While at a party, I had a man bump my arm that was holding a glass of red wine. The wine spilled, just a little, but it hit on a light part of the rug. The first to notice was the husband. Furious, he started screaming at me, so everyone turned towards us. This drew the attention of his wife. She walked over, calming but demanding that I buy a new rug or pay to have this one cleaned. While I have no problem with either option, what I noticed after these encounters were discouraging. The other guest had no care that the husband yelled at me but had some snarky comments about the woman who demanded a new rug, the woman was mad as well, and despite that, she didn’t yell. That’s what stuck in their head. So somehow the take was “she was being irrational,” and the man yelling was not.”
Feeling Safe Alone
A woman on the forum said, “I would like to feel safe walking alone at night.” However, even men don’t like walking home at night. It doesn’t matter who you are; if there is someone with the wrong intentions, then they could catch anyone off guard. Another user said, “I got away with a few night strolls alone as a reckless teen. Though I mostly stuck to the main traffic streets. Yes, I’d like to be able to walk along confidently in the dead of the night. It is very enjoyable.”
Express Me Without Hearing Why Men Have It Worse
One lady pointed out on the forum, “I came here to see what others said and maybe chime in, but I saw a lot of men posting about how women have privileges, too. No one said they didn’t, but men know how to make a topic about women somehow about them.”
Pockets
One woman states: “Pockets in all pants!” This is a running joke between women. We all love it when we come across a piece of clothing with pockets. However, you’re less likely to find pants with pockets, and despite our demand for such items, designers aren’t listening to us.
Be Able to Gain Weight Without Shame
“Men are not body shamed the way women are. I would like it if women weren’t shamed for putting on weight, especially after childbirth. We shouldn’t have to go to the gym or take up yoga to be considered attractive.” One woman proclaims.
Not Being Harassed
“Not having a fear of being harassed on the streets, at work, at home, at school, at a club, and that I’m able to be polite and kind to everyone without it meaning I’m flirting with every single person.” One woman says.
Be Taken Seriously
“Men are taken more seriously in most fields, especially intelligence or strength-based fields. Most people who compliment women are other women, so men can start praising each other more, too, as women do. That’s an option.” Explains one woman.
Be Able to Hang Out
One woman explains why talking and getting to know the person after a suitable date is hard. “I’d like to invite dates to come chill at my place (or to go to his) to sit and chat without a very strong fear of being taken advantage of.”
Being Able to Enjoy My “Girly” Things
One woman on the forum said, “I’d like not to get made fun of for my interests based on my gender. If I like crafting, puppies and kittens, and romantic comedies. I don’t like being made fun of because I like those things, and I have known plenty of guys who like them as well.”
Doctors Listening to Them
“Being listened to by my doctors would be nice.” Said one woman. Another says, “Overall, the female healthcare is set so far back, the position we give birth in is insanely inconvenient for everyone except doctors, and we are less likely to get painkillers or anesthesia when requested.” Another woman stated, “Female healthcare is an absolute shambles. It’s not based on female needs but on convenience and society, which is ludicrous! Bad period? You’ll manage. Want an IUD? Well, be prepared for pain, not discomfort, and we won’t give you any painkillers even though men get painkillers for vasectomies.”
