Seriously, what’s the deal with men? Why do we keep placing our trust in grumpy old white men who can’t even whip up a sandwich to make decisions that impact all of us? These are the same guys who struggle with multitasking, prioritize their fragile egos over everyone else—including their supporters—and have spent a lifetime brawling and competing over whose is bigger.
At home, they often slack off while we juggle parenting and household duties, and they seem to get away with it simply because we’re too exhausted to take on yet another responsibility. Whether they admit it or not, many harbor misogynistic attitudes and get easily rattled by any challenge to the “white men run the world” belief that this country was built on.
We’re all witnesses to this and we’re done accepting it. We’re fed up with doing countless tasks for every single thing they handle. We watch them receive praise as “amazing dads and husbands” while we know we’re often the ones doing the heavy lifting. It’s frustrating to see them promoted over us, even when it’s clear to everyone that we’re more qualified and hardworking. And what’s with the fear of women leaders? It makes no sense when men constantly mess things up—so what are we holding onto?
In short, we once again ask, what’s the deal with men?
What really grinds my gears is how men can take any job—no matter the hours or location—without a thought for anyone else. They seem blissfully unaware of the stress of managing kids’ schedules and illnesses. Must be nice.
Confessions
Confession #25850582: My partner and I have the same job, and it’s undeniable that I excel at it, yet it’s only his accomplishments that get celebrated by our friends and family. It’s infuriating.
Confession #25850173: I often feel sad thinking about how long it’ll take for men to be held accountable. This pandemic has shown many of us just how much we do and how we truly hold everything together.
Confession #25849900: Women still face obstacles like being overlooked for promotions, fighting for equal pay, and struggling to be taken seriously at work, all while managing a household and kids, while their male partners can’t even find their keys.
Confession #25850572: I’m exhausted. Why can’t my partner make lunch or dinner on weekends instead of just for himself? How about taking the kids to appointments too? It’s all about time management! I won’t be the only one parenting just because he has class.
Confession #25850178: When my partner sleeps in past 10 on weekends, I want to scream. I’m tired too, but I still wake up at 7 to care for our kids and home. His entitlement is infuriating.
Confession #25850177: Men are utterly useless.
And at home? They’re the worst. No, you don’t get a reward for changing a diaper or cooking instant mac and cheese. And don’t even think about napping while I’ve been handling the kids all week—it might not end well for you.
Confession #25849855: My partner praises me one moment and treats me poorly the next. It’s no surprise that women initiate most divorces.
Confession #25849825: I’m deep into a rabbit hole about why men treat women the way they do. This behavior seems ingrained. Will it ever change?
Confession #25850247: To the bullies from high school, I hope you see how I’ve become a successful writer, mother, and community member. I hope life is treating you poorly.
We’re tired of men treating us poorly while society expects us to just accept it. Enough is enough. Quit being a jerk, Tom.
Confession #25849804: It drives me crazy when my partner uses derogatory terms for men who don’t fit his “alpha” mold. It just makes him seem like a jerk.
Men often attempt to evade support payments because of their ex’s actions. But why punish the child?
Confession #25849968: People say not all men are bad, but in my 41 years, I’ve yet to meet one who isn’t deep down a misogynist.
Confession #25850150: They can be selfish and angry, taking their frustrations out on women and children. We’re tired of it.
Every issue in the world seems to stem from men. Not all men are bad, but they’re often at the root of many problems.
Confession #25850249: They struggle with leadership, making everything a mess. Their stubbornness prevents them from listening to those who know more. History shows they have caused much of the world’s troubles.
So, should we just accept men being poorly functioning adults because “that’s just how they are”? Absolutely not. It’s time to demand more from them instead of accepting their excuses.
Confession #25849768: Now men are using “equality” as a shield to escape accountability for how they treat women. Women need to start reclaiming their rights and privileges that have been denied for too long.
Confession #25849733: At 44, I have zero patience for selfish behavior, especially in bed. If you can’t prioritize your partner’s pleasure, maybe you should stick to adult films.
Confession #25850509: Until a few years ago, I tolerated bad behavior in the bedroom. Not anymore. If you want intimacy, you better make it worthwhile—every single time.
We must keep pushing for better treatment in the workplace, leadership roles, equal pay, and better intimacy in our relationships. We’re done sacrificing ourselves for men’s glory.
This is our moment, so step aside and let women lead the way.
