Even then, the problem is the "grass is greener on the other side" factor. No matter how much you make it equal between the two, one side will truly believe the other side is getting something better, and they'll complain until you give them the same. [And when they find out it's the exact same, they'll complain you're hiding the REAL good stuff the other side is getting from them.]

It just saddens me. They can be brilliant services and options for people and it makes me so uncomfortable that people are happy taking that away from someone. I can see wanting the same and that's fair. Like it's fine to go "men get a swimming hour? Can we get one too?" but it's not fair to want to either take away the men's hour or demand longer.

I just don't understand why people think it's more than it is sometimes if that makes sense? If you think it's a good idea for one sex it's good for the other and the entitlement of people that think others are getting more from it annoy me. Reminds me a bit of crazy customers who don't understand you don't have something and just yell at you to "get some from the back". Same self centred fuck you attitude.

Well, you also forget how many people doing this just truly HATE their "other". They don't really care if it's more than it is or not, what matters is the bullying child factor of "this made you happy? Well, I TOOK IT from you. Now, you don't get to be happy. I TOOK YOUR HAPPINESS FROM YOU. And I can do it over and over again, whenever I want to, and YOU CAN'T STOP ME."

Even if they know the two are the same, they know "if I make sure they don't get it, then I get this and they don't."
