That's easy. Any one can see that society demands more of women than of men. Clothing and behavioral norms are more elaborate. Women work and typically do more household chores and childcare. Younger women are expected to allow sometimes aggressive flirting. There's lots more, like potential jobs are more restricted and women get less pay. There's also a pink tax - products for women cost more.
If you see these limitations and restrictions on you, why would you go along with them, if an alternative exists?

- pjkundert 4y agoYou are not allowed to hold this opinion, or discuss it. Any option regarding transgenderism must equate, basically to "they were born this way". Choice in this matter is evidently not possible. You are also not allowed to question whether this state of affairs is reasonable. Welcome to HN!

- dallashoxton 4y agoWow, that's crazy, none of what you said came true Almost as if assuming you know more about someone's identity than they do doesn't make you some critical-thinking free speech martyr, just a presumptuous preacher telling other people how to live and express themselves.
- frontman1988 4y agoGender envy works both ways. More women graduate college than men, women face less social isolation and women also live longer than men. The future is feminine, in developed countries it's way better to be a woman if you can become one rather than become a man. No one is forcing you to have kids or do household chores these days and gender pay gap is largely a myth. Rather these days you have women being preferred over similarly competent men in corporate companies to fullfill diversity quotas.
