    Is there literally anything only men like?

    There are male biased things, ie. gaming, woodworking, wingsuiting, cimbing etc.

    but are there any things literally only males like?

      maybe some things so incredibly niche that only one or two people total like them, if those people happen to be men?

      Urinating standing up. Its so much messier when you’re a woman and writing half your friends name in snow with it is almost impossible.

        If you watch Caleb Hammer on youtube that does financial audit, there was a girl on there who had some massive debts, and one of the reason was crashing her jag and getting another one.

      Some obscure math, and obscure programming languages. I dunno, but it feels like no women would be dumb enough to devote tons of effort into things like haskell-adjacent languages.

      “cimbing”

      What? Did you mean climbing? That’s a bad example, and so are the rest except woodworking. Climbing is close to 50/50 men and women. For gaming, the male bias is only for very male-oriented games, which is is logical, obviously there are more female oriented games and those have a female majority, and then we have the vast majority of games which isn’t a big majority in either way. And extreme sports are also pretty even.
      Woodworking is the only one here that is close to truth, and a big reason for that is simply the male-oriented tradition of it, many women who try it get their interest shut down just because of that shitty tradition and history of “it’s a man think, women can’t do this”.

      Your post only manages to show your own subjective, in a bad way, and ignorant views of these things. I highly doubt you have much knowledge about any of these them, and if you do it’s a very narrow part of that thing. Like if you only play CS, CoD etc.

      It’s sad that people still think this way, and are unaware of their own shitty subjectivity.

      Yes there is:

      Only men like nothing.

      Explanation:

      “Only XYZ like ABC” is equivalent to: “Everyone who likes ABC is also an XYZ.”

      Since everybody likes at least something, there is no one who likes nothing. The statement: “Everyone who likes nothing is also a man” is true because the “Everyone who likes nothing” part results in 0 people. And it’s true to say that everyone in a group of 0 people is a man. It’s also true that everyone in a group of 0 people is not a man.

      But other than vacuous truths, no sentence stating “Only man like XYZ” is true.

        But only men like set theory, so…

          This woman likes set theory because she was involved in a set theory workshop:

          https://dmg.tuwien.ac.at/sandramueller/conferences/

          But you’re kind of right that it’s not great that math is still a strongly male dominated field. There is not a single woman’s name in the Wikipedia article for set theory, where I first tried to find a counterexample.

          Also, you don’t necessarily need set theory to arrive at vacuous truths. Logic is enough:

          FALSE => [statement]

          Still, I think vacuous truths are fun because they are meaningless. Especially because they have to be considered in math or else your carefully constructed proof becomes invalid.

          It is!

          That’s the fun thing about vacous truths: They allow both a statement and its inverse to be true.

        Women can rape women — although masculine rape culture is definetly the biggest culprit behind rapes.

            Well, considering the question was, “is there anything that literally only males like”, and there are in fact women that sexually assault other women, then yes, you are wrong.

              That’s just something like 0.01% though, so I’d say it’s negligible

                While certainly a minority, they are not negligible. Especially so in prisons, where inmate-on-inmate SA can be over 3 times higher for women than for men.

                  where inmate-on-inmate SA can be over 3 times higher for women than for men.

                  You’re referring to the fact that women are 3 times as likely to be victim of SA, not the offender.

                    I can’t tell if I’m tired and missing your point, or if you misunderstood me.

                    I am specifically referring to inmate-on-inmate SA. As prisons are typically segregated by gender, the offender and victims would both be female in this case. Guard-on-inmate SA on the other hand is mostly male offenders as one might unfortunately expect.

                    If it’s inmate-on-inmate, and they’re in a woman’s prison, I think it’s safe to assume that both victim and offender were women, no?
