I know I wasn’t…Because women are socialised to be the self sacrificing emotional caretakers.

Sorry, that’s still not an answer. I worry this discussion is getting a bit mean though.I can’t anymore. I just can’t.
That is assuredly the reason. The same reason a cat cannot be a dog. Because they’re not.
No earthly idea why this is so difficult - or you’re being deliberately obtuse.

Not really? Are you meaning sexism?
No. Who said that?
Sociology 101. Good night.
I know, I was using it as a good moment to show how socialising isn’t the same for all based on genderThat isn’t what she actually meant.
She was answering Joy, and it was somewhat funny.
I feel like this discussion has broken down into a case of the argument being, essentially “because!” which isn’t really a discussion point?I worry that the concept still eludes you. You cannot purport to understand something you have never experienced. I cannot tell my husband what it was like for him to be male as a kid anymore than he can tell me what it was like to be female. It’s impossible.
Your only reasons have been “because they weren’t girls”; which is not a reason. It really is just a “because” with no elaboration.It’s not “because”.
I’ve given you reasons. They are valid reasons. A man does not know what it is like to be a woman any more than a woman knows what it is like to be a man.
I’m frustrated beyond belief that that’s not understandable.
That’s the only reason needed.Your only reasons have been “because they weren’t girls”; which is not a reason. It really is just a “because” with no elaboration.
That’s okay. I personally disagree. But this really isn’t going to get much further.Alex337:![]()

You know, we’re all educated here enough to know that without being re-taught it.Pup7:![]()

I agree with that. Can’t deny human nature that’s for sure. Well not without denying your own.That’s the only reason needed.
That just feels like another thing society needs to move past. Perhaps it is a difference in people we know but I know most of the men I speak to are quite self sacrificing types.Many women have, it’s quite common and expresses itself in all sorts of ways, look at how many women are expected to manage their difficult mothers in law because their husbands can’t deal with them. The fact that we are expected and guilted to put aside our feelings of discomfort to accommodate men is just another example
Cool. I still don’t see any issue with transwomen in my spaces. They’re welcome to walk alongside me.Well many of us women are trying to move past it by saying no, this is making me uncomfortable, we need our spaces and our identity as women. It is not our job to manage the emotions of men who feel like women. Let men take a turn and be more accommodating to men with a more feminine appearance.
Sorry, I explained earlier that our discussion was getting a bit heated and circular. I don’t want to seem rude by just being silent but I don’t particularly want to continue down that path.You keep saying what doesn’t bother you. It doesn’t bother me either, but I’m not everyone else in this world.
