How Do Men Hold "All The Power?"

Women control 80% of all consumer spending decisions.

I'm not saying women hold all the power, but clearly men do not.

Classic apex fallacy.

It is hard to answer your HOW question with anything other than NO. Men do not hold all, nor majority of power and whoever saying that is sexist.

It depends on your definition of "men". If by "men" you mean "adult human males", the phrase "men hold all the power" doesn't make any sense.

To make it make sense, you have to define "men" as "a tiny minority of men and women who make decisions in the government".

Then you have to forget about the change, and continue with your life believing that "adult human males hold all the power".

Well, women basically don't notice men they aren't attracted to. Where men might feel annoyance with woman they don't like, women just...don't recognize them as a person.

The tippy top of society is predominantly male. These are the men women view as people. Therefore, ALL men have the power. Because the rest of the men don't even factor into the equation.

They don’t. I have no more power than a woman has. We have equal voting rights and can equally pursue politics if we want.

We’ve seen many cases where women have had the power to relive men of their jobs simply by making a false accusation against them. The feminist libby is much stringer than the men’s rights lobby having won many laws advantaging women. Women are also empowered by these advantageous laws. They are more likely to be hired under affirmative action, get a contract under women owned business advantages, etc. there are more women voters than men voters.

Feminists often point to the fact more men enter politics, but this isn’t at all the same as men having more power than women.

Someone basically answered a similar question I've asked with "But men are physically stronger therefore they have the power!"

Considering that this person was unwilling to consider legal (dis)advantages, preferential policies, and social powers as "valid" forms of (dis)advantage and kept answering "physical strength" like a broken record...

Methinks that this specific person is fixated on the physical strength they, presumably, don't have and are insecure about this perceived deficiency.

Of course that only answers why one specific person thinks that, but y'know, food for thought nonetheless.

It’s funny how women will bop along - completely without a hint of irony - to Beyonce’s “Run the World (Girls)” and declare, with certainty that men only get to positions they obtained thanks to the woman in their lives, then turn around and feign victimhood and helplessness.

The vast majority of men have no power and the rest work on behalf of women (White Knights).

Nobody calls a feminist when their house is burning down. They all live in a fantasy world where everything is great until it's not. Then a man comes and fixes it. Men's biggest problem is to not be a asshole about it.

In any intimate relationship, the power is held by those with the lower sex drive.

Women can vote, work, have a drivers license, own homes, start businesses, etc. I fail to see how men have all the power.
