Women living in unstable African nations will likely be raped sometime in their life. Young girls in China are frequently abandoned, if not aborted. If you've ever been to Central/South America, then you'll know how sexually objectified women living there are. Have you seen the photo of the young Pakistani girl who's nose was cut off by the Taliban? I'm too lazy to look up references for these references, as I feel they are well known.

If you can show me how men the world around are being screwed over systematically, I'd love to hear it. I'm an MRA and I firmly believe that Men, especially in long industrialized western societies like the US and Europe, suffer from gender discrimination with little/no sympathy in society.

My opinion, which I never claimed as factually provable, is that the aggregate suffering of women around the world, is greater than men's.

Also, questions are usually punctuated with a "?".

They are, and it's curious how you seem so selectively blind or uninformed about it.

Looking just at child soldiers, which is roughly the counterpart of the African rape issue you mentioned (since it's often the soldiers doing the raping):

http://abandoned-orphaned.typepad.com/paulmyhill/2007/09/a-child-soldier.html

With guns pointed at his head, a child might have to kill his own father and mother with a hoe or machete, often with daddy and mommy telling him that it is ok so that their boy might live, might have a chance to escape and lead a normal life. As such, many children are the very instruments used to cause their own orphaning.

Regardless of who they are forced to murder, the children start to think of themselves as evil, damned beings...unforgiveable, unredeemable. In that state, they can be further exploited to do diabolical acts of violence and hatred.

IE: instead of being used as occasional sex objects, men are used for long-term labor or fighting objects, enslaved in both body and mind.

Take your sexist white knighting elsewhere.

Women living in unstable African nations will likely be raped sometime in their life.

There have been a number of important posts about man rape in African countries in the last week, I urge you to research them. Basically, man rape is also an epidemic in war-torn countries, but men have no access to NGOs dealing with rape, because it would detract from efforts to help women.

Some victims are living in constant pain and no surgery is available, their families and friends abandon them, and they can get no succor from their government or NGOs.

Once again, men are held to be disposable, and their lesser value confirmed through discrimination.

My opinion, which I never claimed as factually supported opinion, is that the aggregate suffering of women around the world, is greater than men's.

No, I think what goes on here is that you don't feel that men's suffering is important. I'm not attacking you, but it is a very common sentiment, reinforced by a lifetime of seeing male deaths glossed over, men's pain dismissed, and men's issues poo-pooed by a culture that assigns men no intrinsic value, like it does for women.

Perhaps you'll be able to remove these cultural blinders, perhaps not. Suffering is the one common human experience, but its value varies according to sex. Even a cursory look at news or action films will impress that fact upon you.

Peace.
