Caloric tax

Men will spend more to meet their caloric needs (even being sedatary) every year than women will spend on tampons and pads.

500 extra calories a day for men than women. So for every 4 days a man will need to consume as many calories as a woman will need to for 5.

Men will need to consume an additional 182,500 calories over women every year. Or basically an additional 91 days worth of food.

This is just as biological as menstruation but because men need to do this every day rather than 5 days a month it doesnt get talked about.

Let's pretend that it costs just 2 dollars a day to get 2000 calories. In 1 year men will have spent $182 dollars just to live more than women. During that same year women on average spend 60 dollars for sanitary products.

Let that sink in, if a person could spend just 2 dollars a day for food they still would spend 3x as much as women do for tampons and pads, yet it's the tampon tax you hear about.

This is true the world over as every person born male needs more calories than every woman born female no matter social status, race, religion and sexuality.

So if every man and women on this earth where given the same amount of money every year, men would not be equal to women and have less to spend just to stay alive.

The draft
The view that rape can't happen to men.
The view that domestic violence is something done by men to women
Male Genital Mutilation
Being held responsible for parenthood being a choice only for women.

...

Just on top of my head.

And they are all issues in the USA as well as pretty much everywhere else across the world and most of time.

Homelessness is heavily male-dominated, especially among those who sleep rough.

I'm sure others can come up with more and better examples so I'll kinda just toot my own horn here. Marriage tax benefits. They used to be an incentive but now they're basically a punitive tax on unattractive men. Any woman can find a partner to marry, but some men are disqualified from that market and can't find anyone at all. Those men end up paying more taxes simply because they couldn't attract someone.

Men drive, on average, 5,000 more miles per year in the US.

I'm hoping this helps: "In 91 (68%) of the 131 countries, men were on average more disadvantaged than women, and in the other 43 (32%) countries, women were more disadvantaged than men" (Link to study).
