I’m not implying being a man is worse expectation-wise, but it is just not at all accurate to say men aren’t belittled all the time for not “being man enough”.
Oh another man on tv called you not manly enough? Try fielding daily bullshit about your nail color, hair color, eyeliner thickness, how fat or thin you are (fat men aren’t fat lois, only fat women are fat), how much worth you have based on whether some old ugly fucking loser wants to fuck you. I can go on forever. Fuck being a woman.
It’s not a competition and this is not even remotely a good way to talk about this, but yes, men on TV and in every day life often denigrate other men.

Why aren’t you doing more? Why aren’t you more successful? Why aren’t you stronger? Why aren’t you tougher?
Have heard all of this all of my life as a woman.
Now try people not respecting you because they do or don’t want to fuck you.
Exactly. Then there’s the toxic insults about being feminine or perceived to be even in the very slightest. It’s pretty shitty and pervasive.
