Men get respect but no attention women get attention but no respect. Do you agree?

Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

No, I did not. All I did was make a comparison. It’s like complaining about a paper cut to a quadruple amputee.
Sure, that metaphorical paper cut stings. I’m not denying that. But even as that metaphorical quadruple amputee I’m not allowed to show my own pain or even mention it - if I did, women everywhere would call me an Incel and tell me to “man up”, even if I had zero responsibility into whatever led to my current state.
So as a man, my only choice is to hide the pain, knuckle under, and force myself to carry on. Making it known in any way whatsoever would only make things worse, so I don’t. I just focus on intrinsic motivation and the things I can actually control, and try to find a little of my own peace in this world.
Because holding a victim mentality is one hell of a nerf. No-one is attracted to that.
It sounds like you're experiencing some tough emotions and need support. Please delete this and repost at https://lemmy.world/c/dadforaminute. This is specifically a community for women, and I wish you well in your journey, but it is not the right place for this discussion.
