I am a 20 year old female and had the groundbreaking obvious realisation today as I am studying for my exam that I am definitely going to fail: If i were a man, I would be homeless. Or work at McDonalds at the very least. I am a fuck up in almost every sense. I have severe ADHD and on the verge of being kicked out of university. My lecturers and support team are extremely kind and bend over backwards to try and accommodate me. I had the realisation, they are probably only this nice and sympathetic because I am a girl and I cried in the support meeting we had (lol). If I were a man, I would be seen as lazy, a waste of time and not trying enough. Hell the only reason I am even able to afford uni is because I am an escort and have an only fans. If i were a man, I would probably be broke asf and have to work part time at burger king😭. I’m even considering dropping out of uni and escorting fulltime to save up enough to buy a house and start my own business. That’s hundreds of thousands of pounds I am able to earn just on the basis of being a semi attractive woman. For the time being while I am still young atleast, I will always be able to fall back on my looks. Even if i dont want to, it’s somewhat of a fucked up safety net. Men don’t have that option. It’s either hustle or drown. Hats off to you guys honestly. I couldn’t cope with it all. I guess this is why the male suicide rate is sadly so high. Especially NEURODIVERGENT men I really feel for you. My life has been very difficult compared to the average person and I struggle a lot already with my ADHD and general life stuff but atleast I am ever so slightly sheltered from the cold brutality of life. Being an attractive woman is a double edged sword with cons of course but also immense privilege. How do you find the motivation to get up everyday? submitted by /u/tigoleyiddies
