Actually I read in some history book that the Great Depression in the U.S. was categorized as a men's issue because most of the women would rather live in poverty than bring attention to their situation
Don't you think that's a little sexist, and something you want to try changing? I am confident in my competency and self-sufficiency, yet I am completely fine receiving help from a girl and don't feel it makes me any less of a man.
Yes i agree it's not a good thing, but it's beyond annoying when someone tells me to get help from a guy because I'm "too weak" or I "need a man to do it" or whatever. So I'd rather do it on my own, which transformed into me wanting to do most things on my own haha
That sucks. It makes sense now why you hate it. Hopefully you come across people with mentalities that they want to help a person not because they think the person's incapable, but because they'd be pleased to help.
I think most times guys are well intentioned, but there can still be that feeling of "I'm doing this because you're a girl," especially when it comes to physical or technical stuff
I've gotten negative comments from men, but surprisingly the ones I've gotten them from the most were middle-aged+ women
Why do some girls resist help? Confused.

Also maybe others aren't like this, but I personally hate getting help from men
