If Men Were Treated Like Women

They wouldn't know what to do

If Men Were Treated Like Women
Huffington Post

It's something that's often disregarded in day-to-day life because men and women are, simply put, different. So naturally, they're treated differently. But if you spend more time one the matter, you see how over-sexualized and belittled women are in today's society just for being women.

I mean could you imagine if:

A man didn't get hired for the job because he wasn't pretty enough.
A guy's significant other made comments about his weight that eventually led to an eating disorder.
A man was asked if he was on his period because he was acting slightly emotional.
A man walking home by himself got cat-called by a group of women.
A guy was told to "stop being such a bitch" because he stood up for himself.
Female coworkers made sexual remarks about the male secretary and suffered no repercussions because "girls will be girls."
A man was blamed for his own rape because he was wearing a revealing v-neck.
Men were pressured to look like the men on magazine covers.
A male athlete was told to "stop playing like a man."
A girl came up behind a boy at a party and started dancing on him without even asking his name.
Some sexist comments were made about "a man's place being in the home."
A boy was offered something for free as long as he flashed the girls his tits.
A male worker is told he is making less than his female partner...for the same job.
And so on...

And the worst part is, most men don't know any other way to act because most women in our society have learned to accept being treated this way. But if the roles were reversed, we know men wouldn't take any crap from sexist women. So why should women take any crap from sexist men?

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
