There is an existing stereotype that women are the more jealous gender than men. In fact, some research actually supports that. But at the same time, describing women as jealous beyond any other emotion is damaging to not only their own self-perception but also how others see them as then people tend to take them less seriously and that impacts their lives in various ways. And, well, we can only assume that men definitely do not envy women for being perceived as the more jealous gender. But today, let’s look at what traits of women men are jealous of and the other way around. After all, jealousy is an emotion that every person, no matter their gender, experiences.More info:RedditThis post may includeaffiliate links.

POCKETS! Actual f*****g pockets in pants that hold more than a damn quarter.
Doctors tend to take their complaints seriously instead of chalking it up to being dramatic, on their period, or fat.
Not having periods
Not having to put up with near-constant sexual harassment from the age of 13.
Being allowed to express all of their emotions in otherwise completely acceptable and healthy ways. Let me squeal with joy at kittens m**********r
Not having people look at you suspiciously when you take your daughter to the park.Don’t get me wrong– as a dude I appreciate that it takes incredibly little for me to be considered a “good dad” while for women it takes incredibly little for them to be considered a “bad mom”– I just wish that I didn’t literally have some random bh go up to my daughter and ask her if she felt safe while I was keeping an eye on her.I didn’t even know what to say… but my daughter did, “my daddy says not to take to weirdos” (we use weirdo and strangers somewhat interchangeably in our home). I bought her ice cream afterwardsEdit: I appreciate the kind words and awards— the judgement isn’t an everyday thing, just something that happens every once in awhile. As some have pointed out, it may not be a gender thing; some people are just a***s. This happened earlier in the week and I’m pretty sure it’s just one of those cliquish park moms who can’t mind their own business. The elementary school mom’s in the area have formed their own Mean Girls clique at the park and I think they’re just trying to make me uncomfortable. Probably gonna get some temporary tattoos put on my face for the next time I go to give them something to really have a moral panic over :D
I don’t know if this has been said yet and it will probably get buried however I feel it must be said.Sensible sizing. When looking at women’s clothing it’s always a massive guessing game because there is NO standardization. A size 2 in one store is a 4 in another, or a 0 at another, sometimes even in the same brand but at a different store. Don’t even get me started in on the fact that they typicall also tend to skip over the odd numbers in ladies' and juniors have the odd numbers only.No matter what I do or where I go, I ALWAYS fall between the sizes. I always have to buy a size up and then do a bit of altering in hopes to get it to fit.
The diversity of their wardrobe. Don’t get me wrong. I know that women’s fashion is often frustratingly inconvenient and unpractical. That said, I wish men’s clothes can include more than 3 colors and like… 4 styles.
I have a bright AF personality, why can’t I let that show without someone feeling the need to let their opinion on my sexuality be known? I’m a peacock captain, you’ve gotta let me fly!!!
Not worrying about appearing creepy, or scaring people while just walking home at night.Edit: My phone is at 1%, so I gotta make this quick but ty so much for the gold. Never had anything upvoted this much!
Being able to go shirtless, not in most businesses obviously, but like outside or swimming etcETA: I didn’t realize it’s technically legal where I live. However that conflicts with indecent exposure laws:https://www.findlaw.com/state/new-york-law/new-york-indecent-exposure-laws.htmlAlso people would stare, be creepy, freak out, etc
Sun dresses in summer. They look so cool and comfortable!
Guys don’t have to deal with the side effects of birth control (or just birth control in general).The weight gain, hormonal issues, and other side effects can be a nightmare, especially if you’re just starting and trying to find what’s best for you.
Men can’t/don’t get pregnant
Generally speaking, having people take your problems seriously and being able to safely express that you’re having them rather than being told to “man up” and just deal with it. You’d be shocked and horrified what kind of stuff men just shove in a box and mentally lock away and keep going like nothing is wrong.Again, generally speaking. I recognize there’s a lot of women with a lot of problems, but people are generally more open to listening to them and taking it seriously, in my experience.

Not having to be conscious about who your walking behind, the distance you are from somebody or the way your walking to appear “less threatening”
I would say being pretty. Men are not considered pretty and people don’t compliment us so we live our whole lives being un-appreciated in that way. This is just a generalization, but I’d say most men like me simply don’t get complimented and are not considered inherently valuable unless we do or accomplish some great thing.
