You might have heard about the protests in Iran, that Iran is deeply patriarchal misogynistic and evil, and doesn't give women any rights. While most people focus on women's issues in Iran, they are forgetting men in Iran also have issues.

To give the run down on the protests, a few days ago a 21 year old woman called Mahsa Amini was kidnapped by the morality police and then beaten to death. Protests erupted over this and rightfully so, women should have the right to wear what they want without being hurt for it.

However, we will see soon that although the media focuses on women's issues, men are also being treated badly in Iran. A few key facts about the protests:

Out of 76 deaths in the protests so far, 60 of them have been men, 6 of them women and 4 of them being children: Source

That means 78% of the deaths have been male.

Out of over 700 protester arrests, 640 of them are men. The article makes clear to tell us "Over 700 protesters, including 60 women, arrested in Iran" source
