Why is being called insecure an insult to males but just a normal trait to women?
In nearly ever thread here I see the word insecurity is thrown around, and when it's about a male it's an awful, horrible thing but when women are insecure it's taken as "just let her know everything is alright :)"
>though most threads where the male is insecure the woman is legitimately testing him (not responding to texts, hanging out one on one with guys, etc are just a few examples from recent months) and he has a valid reason to be
>a girl will post being insecure and it'll be because her boyfriend doesn't pay all his attention to her

Because men are supposed to be strong

Gender roles.
Women are supposed to be caring and loving, emotional, weak, submissive. Men are supposed to be strong, unemotional, secure, dominant.

Never thought about that

Exactly, is 2016. Minorities and women can be whatever they fuck they want, men still have to be strong and productive or unwanted

Unless you are top 1% of male population, it makes no sense to be secure.

Come on! We've decided to change mentality 40 years ago. There is no way we're still slightly influenced by something that has been going on for 5000 years.
I don't think it is necessarily right or reasonable, but gender roles are definitely still a thing.

Also most men find womens insecurities to be really fucking annoying if they're not the type of asshole to ruthlessly exploit them.

This.

And this. Insecure women are just as annoying as insecure men.

Women have never needed to be secure. Its not a hallmark of femininity, its not especially useful as a survival mechanism, its neither attractive nor off-putting. At best, a secure sense of self is psychologically healthy but socially irrelevant for women in a western social sphere.
Men, however, need to be secure. Being insecure means feeling doubt, it means feeling as if you do not measure up, it means feeling as if you are not qualified to compete. Insecurity directly undermines every social message about masculinity there is. Calling a man insecure is effectively calling his manhood into question.

Because women are still expected to be weak. I don't find weakness attractive in anyone, and was lucky to have had a strong, capable wife (RIP).
The expectation of weakness is the real insult. Know the difference between sensitivity and weakness, compassion and weakness, and dizzyness and weakness. Weakness is bad. Weakness is to be UNDERSTOOD because you cannot overcome what you don't understand.
