After spending ten minutes on the toilet pondering, I think „growing facial hair“ is the best counter-example I can come up with.

Or I just don‘t know enough women who like growing facial hair.

[–] straightjorkin@lemmy.world 65 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I think you have to expand to a wider topic. I and many other women really appreciate and like beards.

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 43 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, but the question isn't whether you like beards, it's whether you like growing your own beard, respect the game.

my mother in law seems to love it!

as a man I hate facial hair, so there must be a woman who loves it, for balance

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago

I’m very glad for my eyebrows and eyelashes, and there’s that Sikh woman (relevant because of the religious ban on cutting hair) whose wedding picture went viral like a decade ago. She had a pretty full beard and had styled it beautifully with small flowers woven into it.

[–] ricecake@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's simple. Growing facial hair isn't cool, it's facial hair itself that's cool.
Someone with a big walrusy Wilford Brimly moustache is cooler than someone who's working on growing a moustache.

I would really love to have a beard. I have joked that I am clearly wishing I were a dwarven woman, because besides this, I am very happy with my assigned gender at birth

I also have a friend who, due to hormonal stuff, naturally grows an extremely thick and impressive beard and wishes that they didn't have to shave it (if they don't, they get hate crimed :( )

Not a woman, but I know an agender person who's super hyped to get facial hair.

I sent this post to my friend. His response:

[–] Retrograde@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago

As it turns out, spear fishing is indeed cool

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 86 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He is correct, if only by a triviality:

There is probably nothing that only men like

Is there literally anything only men like?

There are male biased things, ie. gaming, woodworking, wingsuiting, cimbing etc.

but are there any things literally only males like?

maybe some things so incredibly niche that only one or two people total like them, if those people happen to be men?

My absolute favourite thing is women doing things that "only men do."

there’s girls who like trains, i’ve met them! reckon sometimes they’re less vocal bc mansplaining is upsettingly common in any male dominated hobby :/

[–] Novice_Idiot@lemmy.wtf 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Agree with the mansplaining angle. Passionate people like to explain, combine this with not being the most socially adept and voila you have mansplaining.

Hi, I am the girl who likes trains :3

so being involved in man on man sex isn't cool? That's kinda homophobic.

edit: 'but women like gay porn' not gonna argue the semantics of 'being involved', or of any gay sex joke for that matter, with any of you 12 smartasses who wrote the exact same thing 👆👆🤓🤓🤓🤓

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago

Gay porn is the second most popular genre among female pornhub visitors. Right behind lesbian porn.

Are you sure there are no women who find man on man sex cool?

Rogan isn't bad because a lot of guys like him (In addition to many women, mind you), Rogan is bad because he platforms right wing bullshit and conspiracy nutjobs.

Look, idk about you, but if you haven't played soldiers and tanks with a bunch of grown ass men, get yourself to a WH40k group and learn what cool is.

[–] bus_factor@lemmy.world 43 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I refuse to believe that there are no women who enjoy Warhammer 40k.

[–] juliebean@lemm.ee 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

personally, the only person i've known who actually played wh40k was a woman (she played tyrannids). i've been wanting to get into it since they introduced leagues of votaan, but it is a pricey fuckin hobby to get into.

“as a gay man…”

wait

no, women quite like us

[–] j4k3@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (10 children)

Define only men like
Are we talking hobby scope or like alpha extroverted abusively insecure narcissistic misogynists with very small penis... rule

[–] boboliosisjones@feddit.nu 64 points 1 week ago (5 children)

having a small penis doesn't make anyone a bad person, all your other terms are fair and objectively bad, but how do you bot realize you are potentially hurting perfectly decent people with the last one? I know its a widespread practice and that and I am not really mad about it, but it still amazes me how the insult is still used. If someone is an abusive, narcissistic misogynist then that's bad enough, don't gotta go there.

Think about your harmless bros with insecurity issues over this thing that doesn't make them a lesser person.

End rant, again not mad at you just a thought.

[–] j4k3@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

I apologize if anything I said appears judgemental or degrading. It was intended as I personally view people that are concerned with size like someone handed a fine instrument that is concerned about the recycling value of the metal and wood. Or, someone that compares movies and songs where they focus on brevity as a primary measure of performance benchmark. I will try to avoid the comment in the future

[–] WolfmanEightySix@piefed.social 13 points 1 week ago

Yeah you know what this is so much better than my comment.
