Reading Time: 7 minutes

It bugs me. Every time I hear phrases like, “Why are all men such pussies?” or “Don’t act like a girl!” First, what are the measurements to define what makes a man a man? Second, those phrases are pumped with double standards. Every person who throws those phrases automatically setting women as weak. People, who are insecure or do not get things done will be marked as girls. Mostly, I hear those phrases coming from girls themselves.
