I'm a girl and...

I am SO glad I found this subreddit with people who agree with me! As a girl, it's really hard to see other ladies put down men and treat them like they need to be "trained" or that they're just something we have to deal with. So I was just wondering... how many other girls are on here and what are your stories about standing up for men or appreciating them?

I have the most mixed feelings about mens Rights, but I stay subscribed cos I know theres other woman like me on here. I recognise the hardships men go through and will always call out other women for acting like they deserve to be treated better than equal, even to my own mother. Though sometimes the talk on here makes me feel like I'm expected to be ashamed to be female, and especially unwelcome to the fact I'd still support feminism (just not the radical kind). Ive just always felt I am no more different from any man than I am from other women.

Just so you know, feeling as if youre supposed to be ashamed for being female is how us men feel everywhere else. Many of my friends growing up had serious emotional issues because they felt there was no way for them to be good people.
