I'm new to this whole thing

well, I’ve never raped a man. never beaten one bloody. never trapped one in a relationship by making him fear for his life or the safety of his children. I’ve never killed a man for rejecting my sexual advances or  burned down a house with a man in it because he broke up with me. I’ve never mutilated a man’s penis to prevent him from ever experiencing sexual pleasure. I’ve never thrown acid on a man as punishment for rejecting me or dishonoring his family. I’ve never broken a small boy’s bones to mold his body into a more aesthetically pleasing shape, essentially crippling him in the process. I’ve never bought or sold a man’s body. I’ve never advocated that men should be legally obliged to impregnate women against their will. I’ve never denied a man a career opportunity because of his penis. 

“The beauty of this study is learning that women can get more out of each minute of moderate to vigorous activity than men do. It’s an incentivizing notion that we hope women will take to heart.”

“Intriguingly, though, mortality risk was reduced by 24% in women and 15% in men.”

The research team then studied moderate to vigorous aerobic physical activity, such as brisk walking or cycling, and found that men reached their maximal survival benefit from doing this level of exercise for about five hours per week, whereas women achieved the same degree of survival benefit from exercising just under about 2 1/2 hours per week.

Similarly, when it came to muscle-strengthening activity ... men reached their peak benefit from doing three sessions per week and women gained the same amount of benefit from about one session per week. (...)

“Men get a maximal survival benefit when performing 300 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity per week, whereas women get the same benefit from 140 minutes per week,” Gulati said. “Nonetheless, women continue to get further benefit for up to 300 minutes a week."

Males truly cannot conceive of the idea of simply respecting the space and boundaries of women. It literally doesn't cross their minds, so their minds immediately jump to whether or not women can forcibly stop them. The belief is that if a woman cannot forcibly prevent it, you may take anything you like from her with impunity.

While I am admittedly attracted to the idea of a man, as in fictional characters where they can easily be drawn with more attractive features…

“Real” men look like a biological accident. A deformity. Something to be diagnosed by a fucking doctor.
