Are Men and Women Forever at Odds?

It feels like every day there’s a new fight between men and women online. Everyone’s blaming each other, yet no one listens
Especially in our Somali society it has turned into self-hatred When you talk about Somali men or women in the ugliest way and that they are ugly, some people now use memes that non-Somalis use
There doesn't seem to be a solution it will just continue.

Gender wars are not unique to Somalis. It happens in every group.This is symptomatic of something global. The divide is everywhere.

The childish antics are one thing but it takes away from the real issues like inequities via gendered assymmetries of male-female relationships (romantic, instrumental and platonic).

Women bear greater costs and reap less rewards. Until there is a move toward something more egalitarian and reciprocal, the status quo won't change.

Women are extracted from more. That's why I believe in my new motto. Be boring. Be bland. Be dumb. Be lazy. It strategic incompetence so when you do something normal. You get a clap.

No one can engage in offloading, emotional siphoning, idea theft, personality swapping or beauty borrowing if there is nothing to take from.

What rights do women not have in 2025 in the Western world in which we live? There are none, yet some feminist women still demand gay rights and abortion.

Forget abortion nacas, our own doctors don’t even believe women when we talk about our physical pain until it’s too late. How many women have died from endometriosis while they keep researching erectile dysfunction.

we can’t even freely walk outside at night without worrying some man without self-control wants to end our life.

come when you have genuine fear for your life. This is the worldview of child, no wonder there is such a divide.

I think it's this America society we have adopted that causing the issue. For instance look at the house wife tvs shows they never show a house hold that listen to each other but they are always yelling and throwing stuff at each other. They never show a family that a couple talk to each other as adults
