My absolute favourite thing is women doing things that “only men do.”
(P.S. am a woman)
I do like me some role reversal 😏
“as a gay man…”
wait
no, women quite like us
After spending ten minutes on the toilet pondering, I think „growing facial hair“ is the best counter-example I can come up with.
Or I just don‘t know enough women who like growing facial hair.
That’s simple. Growing facial hair isn’t cool, it’s facial hair itself that’s cool.
Someone with a big walrusy Wilford Brimly moustache is cooler than someone who’s working on growing a moustache.I know someone who has given up on figuring out what their gender is. They’ll happily accept any pronouns but hear “she/her” most often due to their appearance. She wants a beard so bad, and already grows a tiny mustache.
So basically your 10 minutes were for naught
I would really love to have a beard. I have joked that I am clearly wishing I were a dwarven woman, because besides this, I am very happy with my assigned gender at birth
I also have a friend who, due to hormonal stuff, naturally grows an extremely thick and impressive beard and wishes that they didn’t have to shave it (if they don’t, they get hate crimed :( )
I think you have to expand to a wider topic. I and many other women really appreciate and like beards.
Oh, really? strokes neckbeard How you doin’? 😉
😆
Yeah, but the question isn’t whether you like beards, it’s whether you like growing your own beard, respect the game.
my mother in law seems to love it!
Sick burn
I’m very glad for my eyebrows and eyelashes, and there’s that Sikh woman (relevant because of the religious ban on cutting hair) whose wedding picture went viral like a decade ago. She had a pretty full beard and had styled it beautifully with small flowers woven into it.
as a man I hate facial hair, so there must be a woman who loves it, for balance
It’s not something only men can do, otherwise playing with their own dick would qualify.
I’d say it’s their balls since their equivalent are ovaries deep inside the body. The dick would be the clitoris, then.
Not a woman, but I know an agender person who’s super hyped to get facial hair.
Is facial hair even cool any more?
I don’t care I look better with it
Yes because I have some.
You are so cool.
PS you sent this comment twice
Using a cup while playing sports? I don’t know if it’s a like though…
Is facial hair even cool any more?
Yep. It’s always ‘in’ in many parts of the world but I only know about the West.
Some of us were doing facial hair before it was cool…
… And some of us started going bald in their teens and wanted beards to help cover up double chins and a tiny mouth but did enjoy a brief period of looking like white Jesus before that happened 🧔♀️
Personally I come from a long line of hairy fuckers. Clean shaven is not an option because it literally grows back in less than a day. Plus I like the beard had it for decades.
As hairy as my face is, I’m thankful I didn’t get the hairy back gene. My legs, chest and ass though, I’m kind of like a satyr without hooves.
If I were a man I’d absolutely love to grow facial hair.
Look, idk about you, but if you haven’t played soldiers and tanks with a bunch of grown ass men, get yourself to a WH40k group and learn what cool is.
And then you’re hanging out in your local shop looking at some Space Dwarfs and stroke up a conversation with a dude who starts talking about the Black Templars and how cool they are for defending the Imperium just like All of the Real Crusaders which is honestly kind of weird because the dude is fucking Asian?
That wasn’t your damage, bro.
I refuse to believe that there are no women who enjoy Warhammer 40k.
personally, the only person i’ve known who actually played wh40k was a woman (she played tyrannids). i’ve been wanting to get into it since they introduced leagues of votaan, but it is a pricey fuckin hobby to get into.
I do too. I’ve never met them, but come on. Playing tanks with grown ups. What’s not to love.
Paint your army, roll a bucket of dice, shout funny things. Play combat patrol, or just do a good ol beer hammer at a local brewery.
Is there literally anything only men like?
There are male biased things, ie. gaming, woodworking, wingsuiting, cimbing etc.
but are there any things literally only males like?
Some obscure math, and obscure programming languages. I dunno, but it feels like no women would be dumb enough to devote tons of effort into things like haskell-adjacent languages.
Learning that language is probably too much of a haskell for anyone really.
Of course not, absolutes don’t exist…
Is that absolutely true?
only a sith deals in absolutes
Well, Joe Rogan
I know several women who listen to joe rogan unfortunately
I met a girl on tinder who believed and “teached” the goapel of andrew tate. So nothing is impossible.
U banged didn’t you lol
Let he/she/they who has never suppressed a political opinion to a hottie throw the first stone
Nothing is absolute, of course
Urinating standing up. Its so much messier when you’re a woman and writing half your friends name in snow with it is almost impossible.
She-Wee for the win!
Fortran
Nope. Even Fortran programers hate that vile language.
That tracks, I like fortran because I never tried it.
Hey I kinda like it :-(
Need a purge on the Fortran courses at my uni pls
They said men, not masochists
maybe some things so incredibly niche that only one or two people total like them, if those people happen to be men?
Yes, I and my brother invented a game that only we two know how to play.
But is it a good game?
raping women I imagine
Women can rape women — although masculine rape culture is definetly the biggest culprit behind rapes.
yeah so am I wrong
Well, considering the question was, “is there anything that literally only males like”, and there are in fact women that sexually assault other women, then yes, you are wrong.
Yes there is:
Only men like nothing.
Explanation:
“Only XYZ like ABC” is equivalent to: “Everyone who likes ABC is also an XYZ.”
Since everybody likes at least something, there is no one who likes nothing. The statement: “Everyone who likes nothing is also a man” is true because the “Everyone who likes nothing” part results in 0 people. And it’s true to say that everyone in a group of 0 people is a man. It’s also true that everyone in a group of 0 people is not a man.
But other than vacuous truths, no sentence stating “Only man like XYZ” is true.
But only men like set theory, so…
This woman likes set theory because she was involved in a set theory workshop:
https://dmg.tuwien.ac.at/sandramueller/conferences/
But you’re kind of right that it’s not great that math is still a strongly male dominated field. There is not a single woman’s name in the Wikipedia article for set theory, where I first tried to find a counterexample.
Also, you don’t necessarily need set theory to arrive at vacuous truths. Logic is enough:
FALSE => [statement]
Still, I think vacuous truths are fun because they are meaningless. Especially because they have to be considered in math or else your carefully constructed proof becomes invalid.
But my trainsssss
Do you really think they’re cool though?
I have hobbies that are very male-dominated, but I know they’re not cool, and that doesn’t bother me. I’m happy being uncool and enjoying my hobbies.
I think the difference is that some boys are unembarrassed about liking Joe Rogan, and make it their whole personality. You should feel a little embarrassed to admit that you listen to Joe Rogan. You should feel embarrassed that you’re obsessed about WWE or UFC. But, it’s not just male things. Niche interests, especially niche interests that are gender-specific are things that don’t make you cool. Like, a girl who is obsessed with makeup tutorials on TikTok shouldn’t think that makes her cool either.
Tomorrow’s the SuperbOwl. If some guys are super excited about that, it’s fine. They should just acknowledge that being obsessed with a sport played by other people isn’t cool. It’s as uncool as Warhammer 40k or… trains.
Check out Blondihacks on YouTube. She’s a hobby machinist who is currently building a working model Pennsylvania A3 Switcher.
there’s girls who like trains, i’ve met them! reckon sometimes they’re less vocal bc mansplaining is upsettingly common in any male dominated hobby :/
Agree with the mansplaining angle. Passionate people like to explain, combine this with not being the most socially adept and voila you have mansplaining.
I think there’s a negative cycle also, where a male-dominated hobby where many people are not super socially skilled makes them more oblivious to some of the nuances that turn “explaining” into “mansplaining” (I.e. they are less likely to understand how their behaviour is making their hobby less welcoming for certain people), which makes the hobby more male dominated, both in appearance and actuality
Define only men like
Are we talking hobby scope or like alpha extroverted abusively insecure narcissistic misogynists with very small penis… rulehaving a small penis doesn’t make anyone a bad person, all your other terms are fair and objectively bad, but how do you bot realize you are potentially hurting perfectly decent people with the last one? I know its a widespread practice and that and I am not really mad about it, but it still amazes me how the insult is still used. If someone is an abusive, narcissistic misogynist then that’s bad enough, don’t gotta go there.
Think about your harmless bros with insecurity issues over this thing that doesn’t make them a lesser person.
End rant, again not mad at you just a thought.
I apologize if anything I said appears judgemental or degrading. It was intended as I personally view people that are concerned with size like someone handed a fine instrument that is concerned about the recycling value of the metal and wood. Or, someone that compares movies and songs where they focus on brevity as a primary measure of performance benchmark. I will try to avoid the comment in the future
Yeah you know what this is so much better than my comment.
There’s nothing wrong with a small penis, but misogynists usually disagree with that so it’s a jab to say they have a small penis. I’m not making fun of the penis, I’m making fun of the misogynist who cares so much in a bad way.
Although it does come across like you say, so maybe I should stop.
having a small penis doesn’t make anyone a bad person
nor does being born with narcissistic personality disorder. It’s not the person’s fault to be born this way. Problems arise only if they refuse to be treated, because then they could harm someone
also not mad at you
I think the key is not “small penis”, it’s “misogynist small penis”. You can’t decide your penis (and side note, sometimes a below average penis is sooo much better to handle for the othet party than an oversize log that poses so many problems), you can decide to be an asshole though
As a man with a small penis, it’s the second.
I think you can answer your own question. Either men will like it and their will be other genders that see the appeal or it’s an assoholic male hobby.
I’ve met women who like the most assholish of hobbies, like rolling coal and crossfit. I don’t think this is a useful definition.
Unsupported by the logic at play. Just because some women like it doesn’t make it cool
Is there a critical mass of women where it becomes cool?
No, think about scentsy
Excellent example.
No, the only thing that makes anything cool is being different confidently; Popularity is coolness’ diagonal opposite.
I think there’s truth in it either way. Although I can’t think of many things only men like, expanding it to “anything dominated by an overwhelming proportion of men to woman” still works. I think they’re more cringe than uncool though.
To be fair: if only men think it’s cool, women and thus at least half of the population think it’s uncool
I mean, you can just be neutral towards or unfamiliar with something, so not necessarily.
