men are defective females in a lot of ways, though the causes of those things are cultural and not anything inherent about being male.
maybe "emotionally damaged or stunted people" is more appropriate than any gender-assigned positive or negative traits.
my parents ruined me in a lot of ways, especially my mother. I'm male. I still carry her selfishness and shortsightedness with me decades later in a few damning forms: A) it is very hard for me to view myself as being worthy of the attention of any healthy female (the emotionally healthy females I've known agree that I am unworthy), B) my desire to attain even the most meaningless forms of approval from females gives those very females an extremely strong sense that I am horribly broken and to be avoided, and C) I am almost exclusively attracted to women who ignore me, manipulate me, or actively try to distance themselves from me, which is not surprising because those are the exact same interactions which constituted 95% of my relationship with my mother until I was in my mid-20s.
so yeah I am a defective person, a male, made defective at the hands of a female who simply hated me (her words) for being born. (as if I had a choice.)
lots (lots) of therapy means I can analyze this and understand her motivations, somewhat, but it doesn't really heal me on a fundamental level. I just won't ever be acceptable to women that I am attracted to, or wish to know on a personal level, because I am broken enough that I can only ever scare these women away.
now, to the point: the fact that no men in my childhood stood up for me, reassured me in any way, or did literally anything other than say things like "suck it up", "be a man", and "are you sure you're not a girl, you're really sad all the time HAHAHAHA" and the like, tells me that yes, men actually are like defective females in a lot of ways, especially in terms of emotional awareness and emotional health.
