I’m not proud to admit this, but I kinda went through a redpill phase when I was a lot younger. I genuinely believed women had it better than men because I absolutely hated being male. Not to mention I was really into gender-swapping anime and whatnot because obviously the male fantasy was being a woman according to me at the time.
And don’t get me started on how I reacted to finding out that trans people are a thing. For trans women, which it turns out I am, I was all “Sheesh, why do you get to be a woman and not me? That’s not fair!” And for trans men, it was more “why the heck would you want to be a man?”
For a while I was convinced male privilege didn’t exist because I sure wasn’t enjoying it. Obviously I don’t believe any of this anymore, since now I realize I just really wanted to be a girl and it turns out I can be a girl so it all kinda makes sense now.
Still, it still perplexes me a bit as to how anyone would like being a man, but I know some people like it. Somehow.
