It's sad that women can criticize men, but men are shamed for criticizing women.

Honestly- I think both sexes have plenty wrong with them.
I guess the thing I like the least in BOTH sexes is their expectations of the other.
I feel sorry for men because they seem to be expected to be everything these days. I'd say most of the men I know of in relationships appear (to me) to be under the thumb. Yet- their partners also expect them to be authorative at appropriate times.
I think in men- I don't like what I perceive as a feeling of being owed something. (Usually sex as far as I can tell.) That women SHOULD give them a chance- even if they're not interested. I've witnessed an older guy really have a go at a young attractive girl on the bus- because she didn't want to give her phone number to this other guy (who was her age. He was actually ok- not pushy like the older guy.) Why SHOULD that girl have taken a risk with a complete stranger? The quote that always sticks in my head by Margaret Atwood is: 'Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.' Of course- it ISN'T all men- but- why should women take that risk- if they don't even particularly want to?!! Just so as not to hurt the feelings of a guy who chose to hit on them?

I don't have one and I don't see any point in doing so.

A proper response to this question would require an essay so I'll just pick a couple.
Mansplaining. I'm sure I don't have to elaborate on this term. I will also add men tend to patronise women more than men.
Lack of knowledge on female anatomy. If you struggle with your period, men tend to downplay the severity. I've seen men who believe you can hold in the blood. Painful periods can be excruciating never mind the fact there are other symptoms. It was always male teachers at school who thought period trouble was a pathetic excuse. To put it into perspective, I once had a kidney infection and kidney stone and thought it was my period. I was too scared to go to the hospital in case I was overreacting. Nope, could have needed surgery. Needed IV antibiotics and a short hospital admission.
Women experience higher rates of misdiagnosis due to not being believed. We aren't given as many painkillers and consequences can be deadly.
Entitlement. The expectation of sex or a date. This is specific to being a lesbian but the amount of men who believe they can change us with their d*** is too high.

dudes tend to be messy af and live lowkey in filth, often have pretty eh hygiene and dont care enough about how they look, also they could use a bit more empathy in general

Yeah I hate that too. I'm really clean so living with men who trash the kitchen is hard.

men more often commit acts of violence that also result in suicide. if you're gonna kill yourself then just do it don't be a fuck head n ruin other people's lives.

Women not accepting I live in filth, not being understanding about my lack of knowledge on female anatomy, and lesbians not believing I can change them with my dick forever. I'm big on peace, love and harmony on SS, so that'll do for now.

lmao have you lived with women before? They can be just as gross for sure. And while it may be more common for guys to care less about hygiene, I honestly think that's more down to cultural reasons than anything, as girls are taught more often to be tidy whereas boys tend to experience less pressure that. Plus, nobody should have to care about how they look so long as they're happy with themselves. Maybe we should look at the cultural expectations and causes around these issues instead of pointing blame!
