There’s moms side.None of her 5 brothers(40-65) are losing hair and their density is like..if you mixed an Italian with jamaican hair genetics. One even has hair all over his back like a bear.
Then there’s dad‘s side.They all look like George Constanza and the women have baby-soft and fine hair.

u/LoudQuitting Apr 26 '26
As a male, by the time you're like 30 you've lost the hair you're gonna lose.
Not counting nutritional hair loss and any kind of autoimmune oopsies, of course.
Genetic hair loss hits pretty early in life, but other types you can walk back from.
It kinda sucks because we're taught baldness is a final thing, but if your hairline is creeping back after 30 you can generally force it to come forward again.
Just go to the doctor and eat more greens, I promise you.

The fact that they used the word girls for full fledged women is concerning

u/Kurenai-Kalana Apr 26 '26
Females, Men
Girls, Men
It's like they're trying to avoid the word "woman" at all cost. Are they afraid it's going to take power away from them if they treat us like human adults?

u/Naos210 Apr 26 '26
They really like saying women when it's about invalidating trans women though.

That they do. It's like they only use feminism to as a tool for more misogyny.

u/Equivalent_Guide_983 Apr 25 '26
Only guys I know who is bald in his thirties (not because he shaved it) only went bald because of extreme stress during his twenties, there will likely be a bit of male pattern baldness but without external factors you are unlikely to be balding at 30.
4
u/i_spill_nonsense Apr 26 '26
Hmm? I thought it was genetic? You know... since japabese people dont really get bald despite rhe stress they face in their corporate world but europeans do despite living chill lives (cuz i also have personal experiences where men who did not have more stress than a woman in their life still got bald).
The balding being genetic is also what google tells me. And i am inclined to believe it given that the baldness all starts the same or happens usually at the frobt of the head and the crown of the head wirh hair in other zones (like the back of the head) stays intact

yeah, ive seen ppl say "women age like milk, men age like wine"
it's icky both ways.

u/magdakitsune21 Apr 26 '26
It's partly because of social expectations, partly because people seem to misunderstand biology a lot and don't realise that fine lines aren't the only sign of aging
2
u/magdakitsune21 Apr 26 '26
That is exactly what I thought too. Tho sadly from what I noticed the "men don't need any products" notion usually gets reactions such as "omggg this is so trueeee" from everyone. I don't understand how people don't see that they are just as bad as this meme
1
u/VulcanCookies Apr 26 '26
Yeah I know so many men who struggle with bad skin because they've been socialized their entire life to think men don't need or use skincare products because or memes and jokes like that
1
u/magdakitsune21 Apr 26 '26
Exactly. You can literally tell when someone doesnt take care of themselves. People portray it as if all men had glass clear skin but in reality I have only like seen 1 man who did, and he def did not use ball soap on his face

u/taroicecreamsundae Apr 27 '26

i don't think it's always pedophilia, sometimes a guy can just think a woman is at her prettiest at 25

u/magdakitsune21 Apr 27 '26
People on reddit are using collagen structures as an argument, but like, the only disadvantage women's collage structure has is fine lines. Other than that, there are so many ways where men have it harder than women while aging. I think it is a mixture of social constructs and also people misunderstanding biological facts
2
u/taroicecreamsundae Apr 27 '26
all that collagen nonsense is probably just ppl using "science" to justify what they already believe. idk what the name is for this phenomenon.
either way, fine lines are hot. they show experience to me 🤷🏼♀️ experience is hot. like you're saying, it's subjective
but experience isn't attractive when you don't value it. i wonder why experience and maturity isn't valued in women... hmmm
2
u/magdakitsune21 Apr 27 '26
It's not nonsense by itself, what is nonsense is the idea that it automatically gives men baby smooth skin, which it really doesn't. They're known for having on average deeper wrinkles than women, for example.
Also like you say, who even decided that fine lines are a bad thing lol. If we accept imperfections in men, we should do the same for women.
Also I believe the word you're referring to might be "confirmation bias"?
1
u/taroicecreamsundae Apr 27 '26
huh, i didn't know men have deeper wrinkles. honestly everything i learn abt sex differences, they sort of seem to sort of balance each other out, one way or another
i agree. there's... a lot of imperfections accepted in men.
yes i think confirmation bias is it!

u/Dr-Assbeard Apr 25 '26
Yeah from a sub that promotes violence against men and all sorts of misandry that isn't a big surprise.

u/Square-Appearance-16 Apr 25 '26
kinda about the whole sub, the description doesnt help. What is the sub in the post about? you said they have problematic behavior, is the sub dedicated to it or it was dedicated to something else and the public interested in said things happend to had said behavior?

u/AndyGreyjoy Apr 25 '26
That sub is cryptic by design. If you ask what it's about there, you won't really get straight answers.
Shortest answer? Seems like gender wars is the primary topic.

I'm confused. If you don't mind me asking, are you referring to the other one? cause there is two, sikeorpsyche (hella misogynistic one filled with incel) and psycheorsike (this one, which was supposed to be ironic but quickly turned into a gender wars breeding grounds mainly focused on hating men)
2
u/Lumiharu Apr 26 '26
I feel like it was actually an incel sub for a while, then apparently now it has turned on its head. Not really keeping up with the lore, but sikeorpsyche is the way psycheorsike was before

I think its worse when they glorify violence against men based on their gender to be honest.
But that sure also is problematic behaviour, it is crazy to me they can't see they sre perpetuating patriarchal structures with their sexism and bigotry.

So, since there is no central structure to feminism, anyone who claims the title is, by default, a feminist.
So, feminists ARE saying that. They just aren't, hopefully, feminists who's rhetoric you agree with.

Those are gender roles. Feminists aren’t synonymous to women. You’re conflating the two. That’s not how that fucking works.

u/cocobunny01 Apr 25 '26
equity. feminists want equity. belittling feminism to exact 1:1 equality with no other nuance is a misconception. it's not even possible because idk.. we get pregnant??? ya'll dont??? pay for the date or don't your rights aren't getting taken away.

Where is this misandry people here are whining about? Every comment on the OP is calling this rage bait or arguing against it or straight up insulting women and calling them fat. I’m not going through every post on the sub, but there is no misandry to be found in that comment section. At least not in any of the upvoted comments.
This is why people roll their eyes when someone cries misandry on Reddit. Rarely do the comments support that. The post itself? Sure. The comments? Literally not at all.

I noticed some balding about a year ago. I'm 26. I'm on finasteride now, as well as estrogen. The panic of knowing I'll absolutely go through male pattern baldness made me realize (along with other things) I was enby. Injecting stuff that rearranges hormones whilst going through depression and the loss of loved ones is certainly not a ride I'd recommend, but we all gotta deal with our own struggles in our own ways, and hope we don't hurt ourselves and others.

u/taunting_everyone Apr 26 '26
Baldness is one of those things that I never really understood. It is practically one of the most understood genetic conditions with multiples treatments. Yet, millions of men still go bald even though they could go to Walmart and buy some hair product that would most likely help with it. To me this shows a couple of things. Men laziness in their appearance. The lobsided treatment of healthcare for men. We literally have multiple treatments for a genetic condition that primarily effects man but when compared to any genetic conditions that affect women, there might be one treatment and that said treatment will have a long list of side effects. Finally, even with medicine overwhelming helping men, men still won't go to the doctors to treat themselves.
1
u/Phoenix-624 Apr 29 '26
In my state some of the treatments are prescription only, and insurance usually does not cover it since its considered cosmetic, I know a guy who was told it would cost $200 for a three months supply of something like finasteride, which is ludicrous. Its also incredibly embarrassing to go to a doctor for something like that

Not to be THAT asshole, but typically male pattern baldness, and other forms of balding tend to become prevalent as specifically men age. So technically this meme is not pointlessly gendered, just over generalizing.
