That they’re not necessarily expected to have children. As a woman, people get shocked when i say i don’t want kids. Apparantly it’s “a part of the gift that comes with being a woman”. —vickuspickus

Not being asked if you are married, engaged, have kids, planning on having kids at a job interview. All illegal btw. —C_J_Money

Being taken more seriously and seen as competent at work.
Worked as an engineer for many years and having people regularly assume you don’t know anything is soul crushing more than it is funny. I didn’t spent 10 years studying this sh*t just so you could ignore me in meetings and direct all the attention to my colleague who doesn’t know sh*t just because he is a man and I ‘must be the secretary’.
Now work in another field where there is less of a gender disparity, but I’m still a bit sad that I wasted so much time on engineering. —spinstercore4life

I guess it’s a norm, but it just feels like women are generally taught by society to be more social and likable. So many of the guys I know are just f*cking irritating and have sh*tty traits that quickly make their good traits seem insignificant. With women, those negative traits don’t stick out as much. I guess this also leads to how much I envy certain girls for putting up with some guys’ bullsh*t. —VideoBurrito
