The things we hear

[Megaten]

I just saw these videos and found them interesting. A know a lot of us have some issues because of the pressures society has put on us. We feel judged for being who we are and as a result feel anxiety in the face of any sort of self expression. I think a lot of times we can forget that both men and women face these social pressures though they may come in different forms. The one I hate the most is the old "You're gonna let _______ talk to you like that?" I hate feeling pressured to engage in an altercation just to prove my masculinity to someone else.

Haha really guys don't like to be asked if they are in their period??

The one I personally hate the most (and it's not in the video) is: "Let me do that" *tear the screwdriver/hammer/wrench from my hands*

It's actually one of the few things in the world that can make me angry

Why do I have a feeling that the people complaining in the videos actually judge other people at similar trivial matters? These things really confuse me and get to me sometimes.

Anyway I guess it is unavoidable because society teaches, and forces to judge other people. The result is quite a mess.

I hear you.

Yep. I know feeling constantly judged as a woman doesn't help with my social anxiety.
