Messages women commonly receive:
- You’re perfect like you are!
- It’s not your fault!
- He doesn’t deserve you!
- The world should change to suit you!
- Expressing your sexuality makes you powerful and liberated.
- He should change for you.
Messages men commonly receive:
- You’re disposable and deserve nothing.
- If you change a dozen things about yourself, you might eventually get a single sliver of affection. Maybe.
- It’s your fault, no matter what. And your responsibility.
- Why were you born a despicable rapist?
- Expressing your sexuality makes you evil and loathsome.
- You should change for her.
And people wonder why men kill themselves at such high rates. (Of course, this only applies to Western countries, though America is the worst of them for most of these things.)
