I’d like women to say what they mean directly. None of that passive aggressive bullshit.

Maybe men should consider feelings/emotions a bit more in their reasoning and women should consider rationality a bit more in their reasoning.

Painless? How about none.

I’d want men to be more honest. Just be straight up about who you are and what you want.

I'll elaborate, and wish that men were more genuinely communicative. But, I've been out of the game for a long time, now, and I am just fine with friends who have common interests.

I wish women would be more aggressive. As a guy I get tired of always making the first move, asking for their number, planning the date, paying for the date, and initiating sex.
And quite frankly, too many women expect to be made love to. And don't know how to make love to a man.

I’d like women to say what they mean directly. None of that passive aggressive bullshit. I do say what I mean. One thing that bugs me that it tends to be guys who do it more is when I say I'm fine or something's fine I mean fine. If I'm asked what's wrong and I say nothing I mean nothing is wrong. They want to interpret it as some kind of passive aggressive bs and not believe me. They press and press until it isn't fine because the 3rd or 4th time they won't believe me it's highly annoying. I've reminded guys "Remember when you did (insert thing that pissed me off)? Did you have to ask if something was wrong? No, I told you. We discussed it."

Sometimes with these stereotypes I wonder if I ought to do a genitalia check because I match what's expected of men much more. Well I didn't meant it to the extreme but in the approach.
I got 2 examples from the top of my mind.
1. A few years ago, my ex and I were at a friend's house for supper. They (the hosts) had 2 other couples over. Now, I wish had pictures and a legal document (deed is the word?) to prove it but the hosts, my ex and I are are french, caucasian, canadians. The other couples were Rwandese (they both survived the genocide but met here in Canada) and Chinese. So we had a few different backgrounds. At one point, the hostess talked about her baby girl and the fact she had issues breast feeding her. She felt some pain in her breasts and there was some "blockage" in one. Now the stereotypes comes in, has the guys pretty much all said that going to the hospital was the thing to do, like as soon as possible while the women insisted more on the support and I swear, the fact it was what was needed the most. Both sexes acknowledged the other's vision but stood their ground on what was the thing to do. Sure we didn't have the whole spectrum represented there and one example doesn't make a statistic but we had people from different backgrounds, who didn't all grew up in Canada yet all the women instinctively had the same reaction while all the men instinctively had another.
2. I work in a government run long-term care and nursing home. A few weeks ago, my coworker got a call from the nurse of the 7th floor saying a patient tried to take the carafe from the silex coffee maker but dropped it. It shattered on the floor. They had the spill cleaned up but they needed a new carafe. Since I was talking with the guy from the inventory and supplies and needed to go to the upper floors for some repairs (I'm on the maintenance team) and I told him I could deliver it. Since the carafe that are usually used are in glass and now it was known some patients could try to pick them, my coworker from the supplies decided to pick and send one in metal. It does fit the machine, has a slightly bigger capacity, the handle is just as ergonomic and it doesn't weight that much more. The other upside is it won't break if it is dropped on the floor. There might still be a spill but it won't break. So I get to the 7th floor, I go to the small kitchen they had and deliver it to the nurse. The moment she saw it, she said "Don't you have any other?" I was puzzled, since it fitted the machine (as I demonstrated) and it was damage resistant, on top of other characteristics listed above. " I don't like it. Don't you have any in glass?". Sure but they will break if dropped. There is no gain from those over the metal one I brought. If you wonder they make the teas and hot water individually, using the little "nozzle" on the machine. The carafe only holds coffee. Yet I heard the "I can't see what's in it!" Then a orderly (those who wash and help the patients) came in and she sided with the nurse. So after a few minutes of arguing back and forth, the only argument I couldn't "beat" with empirical demonstration was the " I don't like it". They stuck with it and wouldn't move, kinda ganged up on me with that. So, facing some serious resistance I told them I would have another, glass one, delivered and they got it.

I don't know about a hospital, but a doctor certainly should check out a blockage. Seems like a physical issue. Support while nice won't clear it up. Oh and the baby probably should be formula supplemented until all is working correctly. In the 2nd case it was a glass one that broke in the first place, probably will happen again sooner or later. Sounds like your original idea was a solution to preventing that from happening.

I'm glad to hear you are an exception to the stereotype. As for people who repeatedly ask a question when they've already been given a clear answer, yes I agree that is highly annoying, but I don't think either gender is particularly more guilty of that than the other.

They handled the situation properly for the baby.
As for the coffee carafe, like I said, I actually placed it in the system, demonstrated the volume but even if I actually demonstrated my points and the criteria listed, I was still facing a barrage of "I don't like it". There was no reason left but it was still "I don't like it." So, I gave up and they got a glass one. So far, I haven't heard about a new accident but maybe it happened and I simply wasn't around or knew about it...
