The overachieving sister, the annoyingly smart(er) lab partner, the nagging mother, the accountability-wielding manager, the demanding (ex?) wife.

It’s just non-stop indignity for men from birth to death, inflicted by a thousand female withering looks.

Liberal Currents article quote with highlights: “When we’re asked to consider the poor, left behind young men, we’re often reminded that girls are now exceeding boys in most aspects of education. This is true and, on the surface, a reasonable enough thing for public policy to think about (for instance, is this gap due to different socialisation, different learning styles, etc?). Beneath the surface, I think something uglier is sometimes being said: That it is an unbearable indignity for boys to have girls ‘above’ them like this. I think what’s gone wrong for a lot of men in their lives is—though they might not admit it to themselves in these terms—they’re angry that their sisters went to college and they didn’t. Their lives have been fine, but their sisters or female school peers have been better and that feels like an injustice. One they’ve not been able to let go of. Their fathers had to reconcile themselves to female peers in the workplace, most young men now will be managed by a woman at some point. When we hear about how ‘disrespected’ men feel, is it that feminists are stopping men being firefighters? Or is it that men in office jobs are being told what to do by a woman?” Liberal Currents article quote with highlights: “There’s an urge in liberalism to debate the highest version of the opposing argument. Steelman, not strawman. That’s valid and useful, but we shouldn't let it get in the way of plainly understanding what the manosphere is complaining about. These are not tortured souls, reading Homer in a world of hyper-feminists who no longer care for it. They’re useless miserable prats who wish they had the courage to call their female boss a b**** and live vicariously through Trump because they imagine he’d do that.”

I would do pads because they’re accessible to anyone. Many teens my daughter knows don’t do tampons at all. Agree about the multi sizes on one box situation.
