It used a very broard definition of sexual assault (as many that only surveys that only question women do.) And the surveys that ask both men and women this way generally seem to find that men are just as likely or sometimes more likely, to be victims than women are.

Short version is, their short form survey doesn't ask about 'made to penetrate' rapes. They even say that that's the main way men are raped.

| 11 | Cna you give me examples of traditional house chores mostly done by men?Wow, that's crazy. While there is some difference in ability here between male and female it's not as much as between a small person and a large person. It's hard to measure but the Olympic weightlifting Sinclair calculation is one way to get a rough idea. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 18/09/22 11:15 AM |
| 5 | Reading 'The Myth of Male Power': ch.2TLDR: work safety/workplace equality is improving a lot but it still sucks/is disproportionate. Also more gender equality = less women in STEM. Because they are free to choose passion. for some reason we assume men are free to choose passion and that their passions just happen to line up with financial security... ----z---- Work safety has definetly improved.

As a mum I sometimes feel like every option is criticized. But I still think I've got more choice than a lot of dad's do. I know one guy who's having serious mental health problems because of work, and I've thought that I'd just quit, but he wants to support his family.

| 2 | feminism, oppression and male sufferingI think feminism started from a good place of getting women some basic stuff we all agree is good, like the vote and same work same pay. They made groups, bonding, friends and an identy as feminists. Like lots of activist groups when one problem was solved they moved onto the next 'most noticeable' (they probably didn't know how to move on or what to do next, and really there's always a 'next biggest' problem.) Add it's been a long time since that start. (I'm not young but I've (I'm a woman) alw… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 25/07/22 10:24 AM |
