Almost all the ideas we have about being a man or being a woman are so burdened with pain, anxiety, fear and self-doubt. For many of us, the confusion around this question is excruciating.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
To be a man is to suffer for others. God help us to be men!
I know how it feels to be a woman because I am a woman. And I won't be classified as just a man.
I think that feminists have definitely underestimated the role that women have had historically. I think I would be insecure if I were to be a man; there's so much pressure on you.
I think there's just an inherent burden of being alive and being a woman. No man would ever admit that, but I think women know it, which is: You know more than men, you know more than most people you're dealing with every day, and you know that's it up to you to make things move forward, and you get paid half as much, but you just do it.
I think, as women, we have to stop being scared to be the women we want to be and we have to raise our daughters to be the women they want to be - not the women we think they should be.
In our civilization, men are afraid that they will not be men enough and women are afraid that they might be considered only women.
I don't have a problem with being a woman. Women's bodies are so beautiful.
Not only is it harder to be a man, it is also harder to become one.
Are men and women different creatures? Do we feel things differently? Being a man, I can't know what a woman feels.
Most men are very attached to the idea of being male, and usually experience a lot of fear and insecurity around the idea of being a man. Most women are very identified with their gender, and also experience a tremendous amount of fear and insecurity.
