It is great to seek out more freedoms, for either gender. but really, of the list I brought up, women are considerably ahead on most of these counts than are the men...
emotional or expressive freedomsmen are still told to be stoic or manly , sartorial freedoms, undisputable, as a first grade girl apocryphally said, "I feel sad that boys cannot wear skirts" sexual freedoms, The day I can stand somewhere and be hit up for sexual relations at the level typical women are, I can say there is parity. reproductive freedoms, Let's not even get into this one, okie? the freedom to feel OK in one's skin, Again, men have to put on an ACT, driven by women's demands that the man ACT like a man. Most men on the other hand, prefer a REAL woman who is just herself. that one has a perfect soul,Sorry, but it's been burned into me that men's souls are all imperfect and evil and women's are, if not perfect, close to it. there is no contest the freedom not to be despised, Again,take the average man and woman on the street, a woman has to WORK at it to be despised by men who know her, I get the sense I am prejudged and despised merely because I belong to the sex called "male", GUILTY BEFORE BEING PROVEN INNOCENT. the freedom to be trusted by the opposite sex and allowed into their inner expressive lives Probably about equal in both genders, admittedly, after all a lot of men leave women out of the men's inner lives too.
