Women's '''hypoagency''' (Greek ''hypo'' "under") refers to women's lack of agency, i.e lack of control (whether as a result of their own preference or by social norm). This is equivalent to women (with few exceptions) fundamentally lacking status, a drive to lead and take on responsibility. The result is that they are rarely accountable because they are never the cause of anything and they are also less often held accountable because nobody expects women to take on responsibility due to their childishness and weakness. | Women's '''hypoagency''' (Greek ''hypo'' "under") refers to women's lack of agency, i.e lack of control (whether as a result of their own preference or by social norm).

Women's lack of agency often expresses as helplessness. Women will often even exploit this status and make themselves look weak in order to manipulate men into helping them. Men will often comply with such wishes, especially [[nice guy|nice guys]], in hopes of a (sexual) return. | Women's lack of agency often expresses as helplessness.
