Despite the best information system in the history of humanity (meaning, of course, the internet), there still are all too many myths, misconceptions and stereotypes that just won’t give up the ghost. Surprisingly, even something as big as “how roughly half the population lives and thinks” can still be swirling in mystery.

“Men have no feelings.” No, they do have them. They are just stigmatized like crazy if they outwardly act vulnerable with anyone. People put pressure on men to be these stoic machines. “Man up, and deal with it.” And the second they show any emotion that can be seen as a weakness, it is used against them.

Private part size does not correlate to any other body part (hands/feet). I can almost palm a basketball, but... you know what, never mind.

Men can't cook. If I didn't cook, my family would never eat good meals.

That we’re safe walking around alone at night. I’ve been jumped twice and there’s always a woman ready to point out, that my attackers were other men as though it made some kind of difference.

That it's not manly to have feelings, appreciate compliment on our looks, to want hugs or to cry.

It's a total myth that men don’t express their feelings. Many guys are just as emotional and vulnerable as anyone else!

That men don't clean. In my experience, the "dirty people" percentage is simular amongst men and women. Someone who wants a clean house will clean it. Someone who will find excuses will find excuses. Someone who wants a clean house without cleaning it, is an a-hole. (Degrees of cleanliness can vary).

Men are just as social and/or also just as lonely as many women. There is no mental divide when it comes to our social needs .

We lack emotional intelligence. I’ve been in serious relationships where I’m the one with more emotional intelligence. As a guy, this can be weird in certain instances.
