Top Ten Things Women Can Do (That Men Can't)

A lot of sexually secure, liberal minded straight men have to adhere to insane standards that just aren't right for this day and age. So, here are ten things that are socially acceptable for heterosexual women to do, but not heterosexual men (in the general sense, of course). Both men and women CAN do most of these things, but the social implications are what often stop men from doing the things on this list. If only people were more open minded...

Women Can Openly Own Sex Toys

How many guy's guys do you know that proudly own a Fleshlight?

For various reasons, some biological and some psychological, women sometimes have more difficulty pleasuring themselves sexually than men do, whereas most men are content with using their hands and a certain degree of lubricant (although lubricant may be optional… actually, so are hands).

Thus, women are often encouraged to employ sexual aids that provide steady vibration or even a faux phallus to stimulate themselves to orgasm without a partner should the need and/or desire arise. Straight men, on the other hand, are generally discouraged from owning sex toys for their own personal use. The typical fear is that a potential romantic partner, or even mere friends and associates, would consider a man needing a faux vagina (often modeled after the actual genitalia of a famous porn star) for masturbatory purposes to be either a sexual deviant, pervert or pathetic loser.

Although women don't usually flaunt their sex toys in public, and would be at least a little embarrassed when the said toys make a sudden appearance at an unprepared party, most social circles – and potential romantic partners – are pretty forgiving towards women who own sex toys for their own personal enjoyment.

Seems like a double-standard, doesn’t it?

Yes. It does. And it is one of the worst ones on this list. Because we are lonely.

Women Can Wear Men's Clothes To Work

First of all, men have penises and t*******s. If ANYTHING, they need more space in the bottom half of their wardrobe (i.e. the kind of space skirts or dresses would allow) than women. IT'S BASIC MATH.

Given the horrific impracticalities of women’s fashion (some of which still linger to this very day) it’s easy to understand why women have fought for their rights to wear pants. Maybe they had some hurdles, like the preconception that a woman who wore men’s clothes was a lesbian or a (vaguely-insulting) "tomboy," but over time it's become perfectly acceptable for a woman to wear pants, t-shirts, and even practical shoes.

Now what about the men? Not so much.

If a man wants to wear clothing specifically designed for a woman he’ll have to also wear the label of "transvestite." Of course, while much of the Western World is increasingly comfortable with the idea of transvestitism, actually wearing high heels and a corset in public will nevertheless turn heads, and not in a positive way.

It's not that every man actually WANTS to wear women’s clothing, but there’s no denying it--being ABLE to do so could be liberating. I mean, have you ever worn a dress? Then you know how it compares to a pair of pants on a hot summer day, and I'm not the first to say, that THAT'S freedom.

Women Can Openly Experiment With Homosexuality

Of course, many subcultures in the Western World are still hostile to homosexuality in all of its forms, but over the last few decades in particular, society as a whole has become more accepting of the homosexual way of life. Regardless of whether homosexuality is a choice or an innate facet of one’s being, Kinsey was already telling us over 50 years ago that homosexual experimentation is a fairly normal part of the human experience. But attitudes towards sexual experimentation are not uniform across the sexes.

While there will always be detractors, naysayers and outright intolerant bastards, as a rule a certain degree of homosexual experimentation amongst females is considered socially acceptable, even "completely awesome" (see video), whereas amongst males it is pretty much not.

Many straight women are comfortable admitting to having gone through a "phase," or at least kissing another woman in a social setting; from intoxicated college reverie to innocent games of Spin The Bottle in their youth.

If a woman admits to these things (assuming of course she’s comfortable doing so, and that it’s the truth) she can still be considered heterosexual by pretty much everyone in the room. There’s a certain amount of potential sexism in this observation – if nothing else, men often find the idea of two women experimenting sexually so alluring that they lose any interest in being judgmental – but it’s certainly a preferable situation to men who have had similar experiences.

Sadly, a man cannot amongst most social circles admit to homosexual experimentation – no matter how fleeting, or even if they decided they did not enjoy the experience – without fear of being permanently labeled "gay" by those around them. There’s nothing intrinsically wrong with being gay, but some still think so, and if nothing else the frustration inherent to being inaccurately labeled based on healthy experimentation is so palpable that many men live in fear of being "discovered," even to an obsessive extent... not to sound "gay" or anything...

Women Have Multiple, Viable, Birth Control Options

If a man and a woman wish to have sexual intercourse and protect themselves from sexually transmitted infections then of course condoms are the most effective contraceptive. But if a woman simply wishes not to get pregnant – perhaps in addition to condoms or instead of (if they are, for instance, married or in a long-term monogamous committed relationship) – they have many other options.

Birth Control Pills, shots, rings, diaphragms, patches and more allow a woman to dramatically reduce their body’s ability to procreate and what’s more, allow them to change their minds and actually procreate should they make that choice later on.

Men? They have condoms. Or condoms.

Unless they opt for a vasectomy, i.e. surgery. So it's either rubber or surgery.

One option is inconvenient and diminishes sexual pleasure, while the other is somewhat permanent. Men are still waiting on a pill, shot or some other form of reliable contraceptive that can give them control over their ability to procreate.

Frankly, most sexually active, unmarried men have no desire whatsoever to impregnate their partners… certainly not unintentionally. If there was a regular pill, patch or shot that could be taken to prevent unwanted pregnancies – particularly one that would allow men to procreate later in life, should they choose to do so – then most men would take it RELIGIOUSLY.

There are always rumors of a male birth control pill looming on the horizon, but until it actually hits the market, this will be one area men will ALWAYS envy women for.

To make things worse, though a female condom DOES exist, the standard for single heterosexuals across the nation is for him to always carry a MALE condom around. From the looks of the female condom though, that might actually be a good thing for men.

Women Can Call Each Other Attractive

Although women can be competitive amongst their own gender, they are also allowed to be mutually supportive in ways that straight men usually cannot publicly. This is due mostly to, again, the insane amount of homophobia present in our Western culture today.

Women are allowed to compliment each other’s looks free from social awkwardness, often to explicit degrees. Admitting that other women have attractive clothes, personality traits and features – even predominantly sexual features, like bitches and hips – is not exactly taboo.

Heterosexual men, however, are not generally "allowed" to say that other men look "sexy" in any context.

In fact, any compliment regarding a degree of physical attractiveness must usually be qualified out of social insecurity. "I can see why women go for him," for example, is reasonably acceptable. "Nice haircut" is vague enough to generally be fine.

Something like, "Dude, sweet abs" might be allowed in certain contexts, usually in an exercise-centric environment. But, "Oh man, you look totally hot in that tank top?" Not socially acceptable. Not socially acceptable at all.

Here's a scene from Swingers that shows the hoops, metaphors and insane language straight men have to jump/wade through in order to compliment each other in a way that doesn't sound "gay".

If the guy doesn't want a kid he just has to make sure the woman is on some form of birth control AND use a condom, seeming as nothing is 100% effective. Once the woman is pregnant its her choice as it's her body.

Top Ten Things Women Can Do (That Men Can't) at 3/19/2011 2:39 PM

I have to say I really don't want to wear a dress, put on make up, or even kiss another guy. Sex Toys are not something I'm entirely into but the the flesh light does not sound so bad. However as far as hugs go, I have no problem hugging another guy. In fact both of my parents used to hug me as a small child so it's not a big deal. Now, if a man or woman were to hug me then pull the old "I'll give you a little bit more than a just hug" trick I would probably have the urge to punch them. In fact I hate anyone who thinks it's alright to push set boundaries. As far as abortion goes, well women have to bear the child so she should have the larger part of the decision making. But what your article seemed to glance right over is the unborn child. What right does anyone have to terminate where life can grow (which is hard for me to take sides on because is the child really alive). Yes, a man might have partial say in a pregnancy because it might have been his sperm that helped create the child but he doesn't have to go through the same changes. Unfortunately many liberal and even some conservative minded folk have a outstanding stance on saying "well who cares about kids". We all were children at one time and we wouldn't have survived if someone had not taken care of us. So, I say the old cliché "Think of the children" might be something we should consider. Now this does not mean I hate people who choose to abort or think it just means that our society is moving towards accepting more selfish behaviours. So unlike other comments from dudes which just say things like "GGGAAAAYYY" because they are actually are proclaiming their sexuality not insulting you I'm here to say that almost everything posted on this article I couldn't really relate to on a personal level.

Don't we all start as female at conception, yet those foetus' that go on to become males are generally derided if as boys or men, they exhibit female traits, no matter their heterosexual male status!

I'm pro-abortion. If I get a girl pregnant I believe that she should get an abortion. She may have the right to choose on that point, but I have made my choice clear. If she doesn't want an abortion, that's fine. But let's kill off the double standard already and make it so men aren't financially responsible for a baby they would have aborted. H**l, I'll pay for the abortion whether she uses the money for that or not. Just don't screw me over for the next 18 years.

Women Can Choose To Have Abortions at 1/27/2011 1:20 PM

I'm pro-abortion. No, not pro-choice. I support abortion and think that we should be required to be licensed to keep our children. Our society is plagued by morons having children uncontrollably. This is because the same gullible people that believe in religions that tell them not to use birth control (and those idiots that simply choose not to use birth control) also feel that it is their purpose in life to procreate. Meanwhile, the intelligent people that recognize when they are and are not capable of supporting a child use discretion when deciding to conceive. Here is the way the abortion law should work, assuming we never implement a system that requires a license to have a child. If a man impregnates a woman, it could be for a variety of reasons. They may have used birth control and it simply failed. The blame isn't on either party. If they become pregnant and both agree to keep the child, no problem. Either they get married or the man pays child support or otherwise supports the child and the mother during pregnancy. If they get pregnant and both choose to abort the child, they can split the cost of the abortion and once again, there is no issue. If they become pregnant and the woman wants to abort but the man doesn't, tough luck to the men. It's her body and she ultimately gets the choice of whether to abort. Men should be required to split the cost of the abortion unless they are able to demonstrate reasonable proof that they have made it clear in the past, to the woman or others, that they are against abortion and would not abort a child in the case of an accidental pregnancy. If they become pregnant and the man wants to abort and the woman does not, the situation is similar. The woman gets to choose whether she wants an abortion or not. BUT, just like in the previous case, child support is another story. If the man has made it perfectly clear in life that he supports abortion and would abort an accidental pregnancy if it were his choice, the woman should not receive child support. Choosing to keep the baby is fine, but we should all know that if you don't have the means to raise a child alone, then having sex is a risk. Abortions are cheap and when performed legally, are safe procedures, especially in the first trimester. The other nice thing about this plan is that some guys would change their minds and choose to support the child anyway. But if a man has no say as to whether the abortion occurs or not, it should be possible to avoid the financial hardship that child support ensures. Here's another idea rather than just having to prove your beliefs. There could be a new field on the driver's license/state I.D. form that asks your stance on abortion. To avoid conflict, that information could be saved on the mag-strip instead of emblazoned on the card. Everybody would choose, hypothetically, whether they would abort an accidental/unwanted pregnancy. This results in infallible proof of a person's beliefs. Listen, I'm not being insensitive. The fact of the matter is, accidental pregnancies are a real problem. But even worse is the double standard that while men cannot choose whether an abortion is performed, they will still be financially responsible either way. We all have the right to an abortion within the first trimester, and if I accidentally got a girl pregnant, I would fight to have an abortion. If she doesn't want one, I should have to pay for the child. With my plan, we'd be out $600 and have our lives back. That's all I ask for. ps. S**t, I could give her the $600 and then not pay child support. Then, I have paid for the abortion I believe she should have and still avoid the double standard. There.

Yeah. This one ties heavily into the whole male contraceptive pill etc ideas...

What about a girl who refused sex unless there was a condom used, so a condom was used, but the boy took it off without her knowing halfway through? What if this girl was 15 or something? Obviously being unaware etc...

What about number 10 being something like: Women have physical evidence, therefore a better reason, for having mood swings every month. Haha. Because some guys are so moody, more moody than the moodiest woman on the rag.

Great article pointing out some of the many inequalities which our society chooses not to be aware of, because they're tipped in favor of the wrong sex. In fact the whole thing can be summed up as "A situation which causes a discrepancy between the living conditions of the two sexes is defined as unfair/inequality by society if and only if it is in favor of males."

Women Can Choose To Have Abortions at 9/10/2010 7:07 PM

Thats a good plan on the surface but if the female finds it morally abhorrant to abort the child, the man should not be allowed to neglect what would be his responsibility. What if the abortion doesn't work? There are way too many variables to consider in costs of living, schooling, medical costs and potential countless other responsabilities that parents can incur that cannot be simplified to signing a waver.

I'm pro-life but I understand there are way too many details and variables for any simple fix to be possible, and its irresponsible to think that it is. At least, it would be irresponsible if you actually had a say in it and presented this as the final copy of the law.

  If she finds abortion to be morally abhorrent then she shouldn't be having sex. Child support should only be paid when it is voluntarily agreed to ahead of time (except in the case of rape). Otherwise, tough luck. Plan ahead next time.

Top Ten Things Women Can Do (That Men Can't) at 9/10/2010 5:26 PM

On the Abortion statement, there is another way to look at it also. The women has the choice to keep the child and the man has no say in it. That means that even though the man didn't want to be a father he will still be writing child support checks for the rest of his life. If he doesn't pay then he is a dead beat dad and the women can get him put in jail.

I agree. The situation is messed up. The potential father of the child should have a say so also. Sexual assault, assault, battery, or r**e or would negate this right, obviously.

  Women Can Choose To Have Abortions at 11/30/2010 5:54 PM
  
  Actually, no. Judges have consistently ruled that child support is the right of the child. In fact, they've gone so far as to rule that child support is the right of the child...regardless of whether the man is the biological father or not. Being sexually assaulted or raped is not an excuse to not pay child support.
  
  You need to pay a little more attention to the news.

Hmmm i never thought of contraceptives that way... personally i've always felt that women get the short end of the stick with that because we have to take body-altering substances at the risk of complications and side-effects just so that the man can screw us. I'd understood that they don't make alternatives for men because men don't have enough interest in it, and are more likely to forget to take a pill or something.

  Welcome to the 21st century, Michelle. It's not JUST so a man can screw you. It's also so YOU can have sex with a man. Scientists believe that SOME women DO enjoy sexual intercourse.
  If you want to avoid the body altering substances, and I would not blame anyone for wanting that, you can wear a female condom or have the male partner wear one. All for under a dollar.
  Female contraception is not an attack on women. Once upon a time women demanded the pill so they could have control over reproduction. Now they whine because they have to take it. Drug companies don't make male contraceptives because drugs are more effective at blocking one egg per month than they are at blocking a few hundred million sperm every day.

(btw i do not agree with the term homaphobe/ic as it suggests one has a fear of homeosexuality or even just a fear of two or more things the same rather than a hate or dislike or inagreance with homeosexuality.)
Will
Women Can Choose To Have Abortions at 8/16/2010 10:09 AM

Okay, here's a voice of reason in this quagmire of dunce we have building up in the comments section.

The author is talking about the simple fact that our society tells men they have no choice in whether or not a pregnancy is terminated, unless they resort to horrifying, illegal means.

The author is openly conceding that the ultimate decision does (and should) belong to the woman as it is her body, and she has complete sovereignty over it. The point being made is that it seems unfair that men should have no options at all, considering women cannot get pregnant without a man being involved at some part of the process.

In so far as women being forced to carry children they do not want to carry, I'm sorry guys, we're out of luck. We cannot, and should not be able to take away a woman's sovereignty over her own body. That's just wrong.

HOWEVER.. the child support issue is a different story. If a woman chooses to keep a baby when the man definitely does NOT want to keep it, then I suggest the following option.

During the first trimester (that being the amount of time a woman can still choose to have an abortion in most places), the male can take this time to decide for himself whether or not he wishes to support a child he did not intend to help create. (condom broke, she forgot to take her pill, whatever the circumstance) If the man and woman agree, then BONUS! Everyone goes home happy. But if the woman wants to keep it, and the man doesn't agree, he should be legally allowed to draw up and sign a document that would prevent him from having any financial responsibility for the child. I'd say that this kind of solution would have to be implemented within 30 days of the decision not to abort being taken. Otherwise, we open up the possibility of men getting cold feet at 8 or 9 months, and backing out unfairly. And that's just not cool AT ALL.

I'll leave the arguments for access to the child in such a case for another time.

  Women Can Choose To Have Abortions at 11/30/2010 5:56 PM
  
  And what of the men who never learn of the pregnancy until they discover that their paychecks are being garnished?
  
  The only equitable solution is to have every mother go to court as soon as she identifies the father (whether she's father-shopping or in a relationship (including marriage)) and have the father agree to be the father then and there or be permanently barred from being in that child's life.

erm...women can chose to have abortions? like this is purely a privilege and not a responsibility? men don't get an automatic say in it because the issue is not that "the child is partly the responsibility of the male, provided they are around and willing to accept such responsibility"--in fact such wording lend credence to the fact that the immediate effects of the decision, i.e. all the things that happen during pregnancy and birth itself, affect the female in a direct, physical sense that there is no parallel to for the male. This is where the whole "it's my body" argument comes it to play. If, in your statements, you are putting aside the moral issues regarding abortion and simply talking about the fact that it happens and how it affects couples, it's important to note that it is not a woman's "privilege" over man that she have direct control over her body--it's a right. If abortion is immoral, then neither party should desire it, and that's an argument that looks at the long haul rather than the short term effects on a person's body. But simply stating that the fact that pregnancy happens to women and so they therefore have some control over it, and putting it in a list of "things that women can do that men can't" trivializes it to the extreme.

This is stupid. I'd go through each numbered item and tell you why you're an idiot, but I'm far too lazy. So I'll just go over the first one quickly.

Men are typically seen as "pathetic" or "a loser" if they own a fake vagina because society expects a man to be sexually active and with many partners. If he is successful then this is something to be admired and for other men to strive for. Women who are sexually active are deemed "s**ts" and looked down upon. So the slightly more socially acceptable option is to buy a sex toy so she can get off and avoid people calling her a s**t.

  But Marsh, your example just proves the point. Why should it be that a man should have many partners while a woman would be considered a "s**t"?

Women Can Choose To Have Abortions at 7/17/2010 8:49 PM

UM? Abortions make no sense at all. At every point on the spectrum the woman CHOSE to not use protection. Except for r**e, but women get pregnant less than a fraction of percent from r**e. The woman chose not take a pill, chose to have sex chose not to take a morning after pill, About every time it is HER fault. Also, put the kid up for ADOPTION derp herp

  some times the pill simply doesnt work and a condom may break so after taking bothe these precautions you might not think to take the morning after pill? i do not understand your last statement are you saying go thru with the pregnancy because its your fault and put child up for adoption or are you asking why a woman would have a baby and then put it up for adoption because there are several reseonings for and against both

This is more like a list of things women can do because men find it "cute" or sexy. Or, even a list of things women HAVE to do to be seen as attractive to men or to protect themselves (eg, use birth control).

Also just for the record, men in other cultures openly hug and even (in India and the Middle East) walk arm in arm or holding hands.

  You seem to be forgetting the men who don't want to sleep with women. Also it is completely false statement that women "only have us men." Women can have sex with other women too.

in islamic countries men wear similar clothing to women. these points are mostly relative to homophobic culture in conservative countries and even some western ones. the abortion one is still debatable compared to the others.

It's not clear whether the author is upset with biology (men being unable to get pregnant) or the law.
If it is the law, I don't get why this is unfair. Going through a pregnancy can take a heavy toll on a woman's physical and emotional health (look at the % of women whose deaths were from childbirth before modern medicine). Ideally, both the woman and the man would be in agreement, but if this is not so, the woman should be able to overrule. It is her body after all.

  I dont think the auther is "upset" about any thing. do you have to be upset about it to think about it. i think it is sad that there are some women who have had abortions or split from their partner and had the baby without even telling the man that they where pregnant he might have said "I love you and i want this baby but i will suport you what ever you choose" perhaps that would be better than days months or years later when he finds out she has an infection she got from the abortion clinic or that he has a child who is actully now 18 but she wants to claim back suport money? obviously it is the womans choice but it would be nice if a man was aloud to give a little input for her to consider.

  Guys, if you don't want to support a child, wear a condom or get a vasectomy. You don't get a say after the pregnancy has occurred. Do your planning BEFORE. If you do want a child, ask her to marry you and support your family.

Women Can Make Sweeping Denouncements of Men at 7/09/2010 4:51 PM

I think you've got your interpretation of this one backwards. Sure, it's bad for one group of people to be allowed to wholly dismiss another, but the root of the double standard is the deeper problem in this instance. Women are allowed to make that statement because we, as a society, allow, even expect them to be irrational. A guy who calls all women b***hes will be either shouted down for sexism or will be patronized and told to be reasonable and not to generalize one experience with one woman to the billions of women around the world. A woman who calls all men bastards, on the other hand, is allowed to be emotional to the point of irrationality because she's a woman, and they're emotional, irrational creatures, right? That kind of thinking makes it a lot easier for people to dismiss what they have to say rather than having to engage with them. It is a manifestation of the still deeply rooted idea that men are smarter and more capable of reasoning and logical thought, while women are emotional and prone to uncontrolled hysterics because they can't think rationally very well. That's the real problem with this double standard.

Women Have Multiple, Viable, Birth Control Options at 7/09/2010 4:44 PM

In the 1980's I volunteered to be part of a male birth control study. It actually worked, but the method used left a little to be desired -- I had to give myself testosterone injections in my thigh!

This was definitely on the 'terrible' end of the writing spectrum. Granted that some of these points are true, dancing and calling each other attractive mainly, the remaining 8 were terribly weak. Men can't hug? Men can't make sweeping denouncements of women? I don't think those are true in any sense. As for a few others, wearing men's clothing, wearing make-up, abortions, and viable birth control, I never found these points of 'liberation.' In fact I would think that make-up isn't exactly a bonus, rather a necessary social chore; birth control only exists for women and is quite a pain to get used to considering it affects your body's natural cycle; As for the clothing point....I am not sure if I really understand. Women can wear men's clothing to work? Where? Why? What world are you from?

I think changing the title to 'Top Five Things Women Can Do That men Can't' would have been a bit better.

    I am Bisexual and i do believe all these points are true... All but the one about birthcontrol. Did u run out of topics or something? Ovbiously birth controll is only for women because theyre the ones who have periods not the men. Also the topic about abortions seemed to be like the one u put most of ur work into so try and spread the love to ur other paragraphs.

I'm pretty sure men can have abortions, coat hanger, stairwell, various difficult to procure pharmaceuticals etc, but these are very illegal (arguably evil? yes). This is why a male pill, shot, or whatever is so necessary.
Until then, man up or coat hanger up..... jk
