A very big part of being is sacrifice. For women, for your tribe, for your country etc. Almost everything you have you are expected to give up for the benefit of the collective, or the benefit of a woman. You are biologically disposable and unless you prove yourself useful are utterly worthless unless you're the last man left alive. It is very frowned upon for a man to live comfortably and indulge in personal hobbies instead of working to benefit society, but a woman who does the same thing is encouraged. Men are expected to solve problems but must never have their own. And if they suffer, no matter how great, no one bats an eye; but if a woman suffers, no matter how trivial, everyone rushes in assistance. Men are constantly judged and punished for every little mistake, and women get off on the biggest crimes. Men are consistently expected to put their lives on the line but never women. Be honest, most of you instinctively care about women but affection for men does not come naturally.
But it turns out that it's not just society that treats us as disposable, it's our own selves too. Even down to the structure of our bones, our looks, our height, our sexual function, our body chemicals, and our neurology. Our bones shift to uncomfortable bulkiness, and our faces become squished and tight and look ugly, so we can survive fighting better. Our sexual organs do not give us pleasure like a woman's, but give us discomfort if we don't get our release. We look mean and ugly to appear dominant, which doesn't do us any favors outside of our fighting duties which women don't have to do. All across the board it's sacrifice comfort and aesthetic and fun and personal choice for utility. While women keep their default equipment which allows for far more personal freedom. But the worst of it is in our neurology.
Women are happier than men everywhere in the world. When they are oppressed, they are still happier. Children are also happier than adult men. Therefore, we can see that post-puberty males are inherently unhappy for some reason. And it's simply our nature. Our body chemicals and neurology encourage anger, aggression, disatisfaction, and monotony. Everything else is severely limited. Be aware that this does not elminate our need to feel such things, it only prevents us from doing so. From a natural perspective this mindset makes sense for fighting and providing. But it sucks for us, but I guess we don't matter. There is even a happiness gene which male development blocks. Our physical senses too, become duller; we see less colors, we can't smell as well, and it's a whole lot less vibrant. Compare this to a female profile, which enchances positive stimuli and dulls painful ones, and additionally makes them forget the pain afterwards.
There is a serious talent gap as well. Women have exponentially more natural talent than men in almost every pursuit, even stereotypically male ones such as math and programming. The reason is because males rededicate most of their brainpower for thinking to controlling the body. Male brains have few neurons and connections in the cerebrum and can generally only think with the left (logical) side of the brain. Their specialty is in the cerebellum, which controls coordination and spatial awareness; again not fun, but practical for their social role. In women and children the opposite pattern is found, they have a lot of neurons and connections in the cerebrum, and can think with both the right and the left brain, and combine the skills. Meaning more creativity, better logic (thinking outside the box and all other types, whereas men are limited to a very specific kind of linear logic), better intuition, better multitasking, and better at just about everything, because they haven't had to give it all up to perform some stinking social role. Better and faster learning skills too, the same way children grasp new concepts very quickly with minimal effort, which men lose to more boring stuff.

There's even more. Female biology generally rewards them for doing good and having empathy. Male biology rewards us for dominating and doing evil. That means in order to be a good person, men have to work very hard to deny our urges and accept that it will be a negative for us, whereas for women it just comes naturally and makes them feel good.
Are there female-specific struggles? Yes, but the list is short. It can generally be summed up as periods, breasts being annoying to some, and being physically weaker. The last one isn't even a straight disadvantage, since they can usually just make a man do it, and these days it's rarely helpful, and being jacked up and bulky can make you feel uncomfortable. There are other supposed disadvantages, but they are easy to debunk. Pregnancy and childbirth is optional. The wage gap is because women choose jobs they like over jobs that pay the bills. Men occupy more positions of power because a lot of women expect them to and aren't used to doing the work it takes to get there. Women do more housework than men because for some reason most of them are huge perfectionists about it and men don't see the point of half of it. Dumb social expectations for women can be solved by not participtating in girly cliques who probably aren't real friends anyway.
And how does the world react? By complaining that womens' burdens still aren't light enough and even more must be moved to mens' already breaking shoulders! Is life even worth it for us?
