![Nora became a man for 18 months.
[Nora, as Ned, went on about 30 dates with women]
Reporter: Did you have any fun?
Nora: Rarely, it was pretty unpleasant.
[She says the pressure of Ned having to prove himself was grueling, Nora was surprised that many women had no interest in the soft, vulnerable man.]
Nora: My prejudice was that the ideal man was a woman in a man's body, and I learned that no it's really not, there are alot of women out there that really really want a manly man.
[Ned joined a men-only therapy group, a place where guys try to bond and show their emotions instead of hiding them]
Nora: They don't get to show the weakness, they don't get to show the affection, especially with each other. And so-so often, all their emotions are shown in rage.
Reporter: And they kept talking about their rage, often their rage toward women and what they would do physically and voilently towards women
Nora: Right, a lot of this was blowing off steam. It's sort of talking about things that need to be said that you know you would never do, I mean, you know, they would talk about fantasizing about chopping up their wives or something and it's not that they would ever do that. But it was a way to get out the blackest thoughts.
[Nora began to empathize with the fear and stress men feel for having to always be the strong provider.]
Nora: Men are suffering. They have different problems than women, but they don't have it better. They need our sympathy, they need love, and they need each other more than anything else. They need to be together.
Reporter: Do you think women understand what it's like to be a man?
Nora: Not at all, no clue, no idea.
[Nora is happy that she is a she, the irony is not lost on nor, that it took her a trip into manhood to help her appreciate her own femininity]
Nora: I'm so much closer to myself than I ever was. I really like me, I really like being me, and I really like being a woman.
Reporter: Did you like being a woman before (becoming) Ned?
Nora: I did, but it like it better now, because I think it's more of a privilege.

Sen finns det ju rätt jättemånga tjejer som gillar snälla, gosiga killar som visar sina känslor. Le Louie face

Ironin i att du lägger upp detta och sedan förnekar alla problem kvinnor har p.g.a sitt kön.

Well, det var inte speciellt länge sedan du sa att du endast skulle snacka allvar med mig i skype. Sedan dess har du visserligen ändå svarat på typ alla mina kommentarer, men ändå. Undrar om du trollar eller om du på fullt allvar är en konspirationsfemenist.

Det är fint att du t.o.m. ger dig själv komplimanger i mitt kommentarsfält.

Det är ingen stor surprise att majoriteten av alla kvinnor vill ha manliga män, och majoriteten av alla män vill ha kvinnliga kvinnor.
Men ja, detta experiment kommer inte få någon uppmärksamhet.
Det kommer köras över med löjligheter som "äru kränkt eller?" , "ooooojdå va svårt du har bubben" eller "patriarkatets fel".

Tänkte mer på de manliga feministerna som endast försöker få bort könsroller för att de inte kan fylla sin egna. Literally "feminist4pussy".

Blir säkert skitstorm i vanlig ordning för ingenting av det här, men det jag menar är att det finns fler och mer effektiva sätt att se på könsdirigerade problem än att försöka applicera förlegade politiska strukturer på allting.

Jag vill gärna veta mer om hennes förutsättningar i livet och hennes omgivning innan jag bildar mig en åsikt om vad hon säger. Kanske är hon en av de kvinnor som varit lyckligt lottade nog att aldrig ha befunnit sig i en situation där det manliga privilegiet/kvinnors utsatthet varit tydligt eller framkommit. I såna fall är det ju inte så konstigt att hon anser att kvinnor är mer privilegierade än män. Privilegier på grund av kön är dåligt åt båda hållen tho.

Mest för att visa att somliga har riktiga problem. Jag hade absolut inte brytt mig om att ta upp mäns situation i samhället om ni inte envisades med att hitta på kvinnliga problem.

Eller, det är inte direkt som att problemen är påhittade, det är mer att de är så pass löjliga att man inte ens kan ta dem på allvar. "Teach ment not to catcall and manspread!!!"

Jag vet att det fanns någon dokumentär om en man som gjorde i stort sett samma sak, visste inte om detta.
Tycker det är bra either way.
