Finding myself vaguely disappointed in the replies to "What do you like about being a man?" thread and I'm not quite clear on why.

The answers that blow my mind are like "women are luckier because they can sleep with men anytime, because women are choosier than men" I'm always thinking "do you wish you... were choosier?... or that women were less choosy than men...??"
I think there's a real thing being pointed at there which is that the default heterosexual norms of men approaching women do (especially but not exclusively in male dominated spaces) end up giving women a lot more freedom of choice than men feel like they have.

So it's less "women are choosier" and more "our social conventions are set up to give women the ability to more easily be choosy". I don't think those norms do either gender any favours TBH, but it sucks from both sides in different ways.
