    Over 90% of the people that die in any high risk jobs, on construction sites and in wars are… men. Why is there no complaint about equal deaths? Or, why are military recruitment standards different for men and women?

    Here is another one. Talk about female SA and suddenly you get infinite people and weirdos coming out of their caves in support. Talk about male SA and everyone looks the other way. Some feminists will even come and dunk on the abused male.

    There is a lot of selective agenda going on that must be against men, no matter what, something I will keep voicing against. If anyone shits on men, they are not my ally.

      The reality is that the patriarchy also oppresses most men who arent super rich white men (and they still have weird oppressive restrictions placed on them) and in the following case:

      Liberal feminism and cultural feminism make for shitty reactionary feminism that still enforces rape culture. You can’t replace class analysis that includes analysis of gendered oppression with “men are oppressors and women are oppressed”

        Absolutely.

        On a side note, if we were to frame the inherent biases of feminist movement today vaguely as “matriarchy”, does it also not work against all men blindly? With “patriarchy” you have elites and white Anglo men benefitting exclusively. No matter what, non white men that are not 1% elite keep suffering and bearing the burden of societal struggles and selfish elite factions. What are we supposed to do, when feminists openly say men and their struggles are not their responsibility? Would non white men not want to protect themselves?

        YES! Finally I hear something good. Radical and reactionary elements backpedal us from societal progress towards equality. Biases in academia need to stop, so that we can quantify society objectively instead of trying to force ourselves towards a particular end result.

          You might like “The Will to Change” by feminist bell hooks which goes into the devaluing of men amongst other things.

      You know women were only cleared for all positions in the military as of 1994, right? Who do you think pushed for that?
