This may be the only subreddit not flooded with debate about Obama/Romney/whoever else, and without "GO VOTE" plastered everywhere. I'd say it's safe to say that male interests were not being addressed in the presidential election.

What part of being an oppressed minority group are you not understanding?

I don't want us to be pandered to like our issues are the only things important, that's stupid and it's already ruined the democratic process for women.

Sad, but I blame men. Present company excepted.

Men who cares about mens rights need to become a bigger voting bloc. We'll never be as big as womens groups but at least get to the point where men are acknowledged.

It's laughable we don't even get a token "I care about men" from the candidates.

"I'd say it's safe to say that male interests were not being addressed in the presidential election."

Understatement for sure. I'm not into Dems or Repubs or politics for that matter. I don't like Romney. Nonetheless, I voted for Romney largely based on the hope of getting at least some relief from the cruel abuse of half the population (men). When it comes to the well-being of men, Obama is little better than an android programmed for female entitlement and misandry.

The reason they don't do it, is because of the implication. When someone stands up and says "I care about men", 85% of the population is going to read into that as "I don't care about women". Journalists love reporting on this sort of thing, and voters treat it like a dichotomy.

The real question is, what will happen when they actually start doing it? It's quite possible that someone will say "I think Mens health is an overlooked issue in our society", or something to that effect. Would we vote on that person then? I think some might, especially the millions who have suffered workplace accidents, have been diagnosed too late, etc....

It would be a good idea to encourage men to get out there and vote. In this day and age, most voters are women.

If there are more male voters, then candidates may be more encouraged to discuss male issues. Candidates are almost forced to bring up female interests often because of such a large base of voters.

If people thought that Obama and the Dems pandered to woman this term, just wait to see what the next four yrs brings. Woman's groups are gonna want "payback" for getting Obama re-elected.

Male interests included: jobs and foreign policy. Adult matters. Check the polls. Men cared more about these things than women (who cared the most about abortion).

Determining which group gets the most cookies from the cookie jar was what feminists were screeching about.

Well folks, it went to Obama so now we have to deal with more blatant anti-men legislation... I'm looking at you April 4th directive. I don't honestly know what to do. I had co-workers who only wanted to vote with their "vagina" and when the ACA only panders to women why wouldn't you? Oh what is that... you want Vasectomies covered? BAHAHAHAH. Sigh, not going to be a fun four years... both the candidates sucked but at least Romney would only care about re-election and most likely do absolutely nothing. And even more terrifying than that is the justices he will appoint shudder

drinkthebleach · 2012-11-07T05:17:28+00:00

This is why I didn't vote. People would tell me "Other stuff besides the president is on the ballot", but not a single men's issue even came up. If I could find a candidate that wants to talk about that 'list of disposable people in case of a war' thing that I'm on, I'm set.

Why care about the 50% of society that sucks at everything by comparison to the other 50%? Especially if the other half has their heels on.
