  4. 1. This is what I can see from society: - jobs: easier to be preferred over women because there's no risk if pregnancy, that is a reality men get more money than women under the same conditions. - relationships: girls are badly judged if they "have" more than one man, men are flattered; men are expected to take initiative for the next step, but are the less prepared for that. - physical strength: men are, biologically, stronger. - emotions: men are expected to stay cool, women, to cry and that stuff. - appearance: girls should be well dressed and a man badly dressed is seen as his wife's fault. - attitude: men support economically the house, women stay at home, or "help" economically; men have a strong personality, women are more kind.
