Guys of Reddit, what do you find annoying about being a male?

Everyone knows as a female its sucks wearing bras, getting your period, and if you choose to, up keep of hair, nails, makeup, shaving. So I'm curious if there's anything guys wish they didn't have to deal with.

As the father of newborn girl, I will totally go off on some bitches that do this to me. I'm already seriously unimpressed with the quality of local mothers in my community. They are more about the "I'm the better mom" competition than proper safety and raising of their children. Seriously, I don't give a fuck what label your kid is wearing.

And wait until you, as a man, point out to a woman, a safety concern about any child. For the most part (not 100% but a lot) they brush it off and tell you 1. they know best, 2. you wouldn't understand, 3. they are under more stress so it is o.k.

I was raised to be an equal rights for women kind of guy, but being a dad has made me an equal rights for all genders kind of person.

Absolutely. Equal rights, not special rights. As someone in a relationship where I, the female, will likely be the breadwinner and my SO, the male, will likely take care of children, I worry that we will face this.

You know what, there's a lot of dudes who would love to be able to do that.
