Description Men have problems. Women have problems. Men and women are people. People should matter equally.

Now why is that so hard to understand? Feminists are quick to counter any mention of men's issues with "b-but male privilege!" As if that diminishes the severity of men's issues, including:

-high suicide rates
-low access to domestic violence shelters
-increasing numbers of high school and university dropouts
-prostate cancer
-overwhelming majority of the homeless population
-longer prison sentences
-anti-male bias in family and divorce courts
-huge majority of workplace deaths
-majority of veterans suffering from PTSD
-and much, much more.

Does "male privilege" make those problems go away? Do they not matter just because women have problems, too, which feminists deem automatically worse because 'patriarchy'? Screaming "privilege" doesn't help the veteran about to kill himself because the family courts took his children from him. Screaming "privilege" just lets feminists get away with ignoring him.

And even if privilege did negate people's problems, most of the feminists screaming 'privilege' should just shut up because they're white and have "white privilege" and black people have it worse.

Yes, I know, "intersectionality," "power politics," "oppression of women," other buzzwords yada yada yada. But feminists crashing conferences about the male suicide epidemic, shutting down shelters for men, and throwing a hissy fit when a Men and Boys focus team is proposed to address dropout rates isn't helping anyone at all.

And no, you can't just blame it on the "patriarchy."

Indeed.

-Men CAN be raped and sexually harassed by women.
-Men CAN by domestically abused by women.
-Men ARE subject to societal prejudice.

And, yes, saying "b-b-but patriarchy" is NOT a vaild response.Β  One reason is that the patriarchy has also set up certain standards for men that they all have to (apparently) fit.

A man is someone who...

-Is able to subsist on a diet of barbecued meat and beer.
-Never shows any emotion besides anger or indifference (and they ESPECIALLY never feel sadness or fear)
-Has sex whenever they want, however they want, with whoever they want.
-Goes hunting each weekend, or gets shipped off to war.Β  Either way, they never feel guilty about taking a life.
-Joins the NFL and has a perfect never-miss career.

Because of these stereotypes, men are either ignored or denied help they SHOULD be getting because patriarchy says they should just handle it themselves, or they just bottle up their negative emotions and let them fester inside them.

The sooner people understand all this, the sooner the world can make a more positive change.

All these have roots either in some innate tendencies that are stronger in males or the patriarchal society that most cultures have been based on. The issues feminism tries to tackle are not antithetical to better conditions for males. The victim mentality you people have are ridiculous.

Male/Female? You do matter!

Black, White, Red, Brown, Yellow, Child, Teen, Adult, Young, Old, you matter!

If someone says you don't matter, then something is wrong with them! Don't listen to them!

TalesofOlde In reply to sabaiism [2017-12-23 12:14:03 +0000 UTC]

First of all - women are not taught by men to hate each other. As a fellow woman I can confirm this myself. The hatred and distrust of other women comes from an instinctual drive in order to dominate and place ourselves higher above competition. Educate yourself. "Bullying for being weak, masculinity." - These issues are heavily reflected off of how women treat them as well. You've obviously haven't been out in the world long hun because if you were then you'd soon see how wrong your statement is. "When was the last time you saw a woman spit in a man's face and call him a pussy." About as many times as I've taken to calling other women cunts for being cunts. *Shrugs* Which happens frequently if you couldn't tell by how done I am with our gender's bullshit and attempt to shift society into a hyena - esque matriarch

Probably because due to your grammar and lack of common sense in the world you don't have the capacity to. But that's okay I can talk slowly and bring things down to your level if it'll make it easier for your simple mind to understand. The masculinity movement was indeed started by men but reinforced by other women. This can be seen from the abuse men and boys who neglected the draft call received for not being a man and protecting their countries. ( Most of these insults were delivered by women and even handed out white feathers which were signs of cowardice to men ) So how can they be any different when they're still expected to go off and fight for us without word whereas we sit on our asses all day and do nothing? Also - slut shaming is just as, if not instigated by other women. Hell - if I see another woman throwing herself at my husband while I'm not around I'm going up and punching her in the mouth and calling her a slut. Does that make it clear enough for you? Or do I have to dumb it down even more?

can y'all set ur writing into paragraphs i cant fuckin read that bro. like idc if a man got called a pussy once cuz he cant throw a ball, im more set on the fact that masculinity is violent

like theres tons of sources proving it pal...

and yeah, calling that woman a slut is an act of violence and slut shaming, but the context has literally nothing to do with the rest of my comment and makes u look like a violent impatient ass instead of telling her to leave off :/

So if I call another woman a slut what am I then? If she was really comfortable in her lifestyle she shouldn't care about being called a slut. Everyone gets judged daily for what they do with their life, how they raise their children, what food they eat. Why should her lifestyle choices being judged matter anymore than mine or others?

If you come up to my man and hope to sleep with him knowing full well he has a girlfriend then yes - I'm going to punch you in the face and probably strangle you with your ovarian tubes for intruding on my territory. My man wont fall for your charm but it doesn't mean you should go unpunished by me for being so disrespectful as to pursue a taken man. If you want to sleep around with as many single guys as possible be my guest. As long as they're single and you're not intruding on anything by doing so. Cunt is a slur - that's my point. I still call other women cunts when they deserve it and I've been called plenty of things as well. I don't get offended so why should other women? If they're happy in their lifestyle then they should enjoy it and stop caring about what other people think. I'm sorry that they're so insecure that they can't take an ounce of judgement even though plenty of people get judged every day for even the littlest details about themselves.

When did I say that? Learn how to read xD I said that if a woman ever comes up to a taken man then she deserves to get punched and strangled. That - in my eyes would be a slut. However - if you enjoy sleeping around with other single people then good for you. If other people call you a slut for it then just ignore them. If you're confident enough in your lifestyle then you shouldn't care what people say. Did that dumb it down enough for you? Because I'm prepared to resort to simple toddler rhymes if needed.

"Guess I've won this argument I guess."

"Okay but that's ur man's fault." No - if we wasn't receptive to her advances and she continued doing so which one woman did at one point and I had to intervene it isn't his fault. I'm fully prepared to teach another woman a lesson if she oversteps her boundaries.

"Can you pls stop implying I sleep with people." I didn't - I used "you." as an example for other people.

"Maybe you could just not call people a slut." The only women I'll call sluts are the ones who try to hit on my husband. Any others who sleep with single men I'm perfectly fine with.
