1. People can easily misunderstand you as someone fierce or
unfriendly.
2. When you talk to a woman, she may misunderstand you (trying
to approach her), when you talk to another man, he may also
misunderstand you (trying to fight)
3. In MRTs or buses, you would be pinpointed to stand up and
give up your seat. You may even be asked point blank to do so
4. During war, you will be first to get killed. Bank robbery,
also first to be killed. When you are in a ship and the ship is
sinking, you will be first to be asked to sacrifice. Only women,
children, and elderly people will receive priority and can get onto
the small rescue boat.
5. When you talk on the phone or call someone, the other party
is more likely to get annoyed and irritated by you. Same if you
approach a stranger on the street, lets say to sell something, ask
for a survey, ask for a donation, or ask for directions.
6. When underwear gets lost and stolen, people suspect you.
7. When you happily use your handphone to record the beautiful
beach sunset, some female joggers and other people suspect you.
8. Little kids and cute animals are not interested in
interacting with you
9. If someone is lifting something heavy, unless if he is
another young male, you will be expected to help that person and
commence gym excercises on the spot.
10. Nobody respects you and nobody gives you deference.
11. Anymore? I forgot what else, feel free to add more as you
like.
As a young male adult, I have similar feelings too that males in
this society are 2nd class or not very regarded.
1) Like the cleaner always put her collecting trays on my table
(me eating alone) as opposed to next table where ladies are
seated.
2) People stared at me when I'm too late to give up seat (another
guy gave up before me).
3) Women colleagues telling me "you're a guy, so it's ok to eat
more right?" and then just dump her unwanted meat into my
plate.
4) Even latest ad on the bus (about fare by distance) shows a young
lady in foreground (most importance?), old man and young kid.
5) In police crime ads, the criminal is always male.
Not trying to be MCP but just airing my views....
