(25,592 posts)How dare men/boys be having the same or similar problems as women/girls. How are women going to be portrayed as victims if the male gender has the same or similar problems. Perished the though!
We are all human. We have to live together on this world. Men and women are not natural enemies, even though some try to convince those around them that we are. We are different sexes of the same species. We were literately made for each other.
Stop treating the male gender as some sub-species, not worthy of respect or to be heard.
You say you want equality? Then stop treating the other half with derision and disdain. You think we have it so much better, so much easier? Then strive for that yourself, instead of trying to tear us down to what your perception of us is. That helps no one achieve equality. That is counter productive. Maybe that is what you really want?
I know you don't know this, but most of us at least, prefer the women we deal with in our lives, to be autonomous equals. Most of the people I know and have known do treat others as equals, regardless of the gender. It makes everyone lives easier and better. But you keep trying to make enemies of those that otherwise, would be your friends.
