Anyone know the actual figures for the claims made in this image? It cites no sources.

SvitlanaLeo · 2025-03-11T22:46:03+00:00

"83% of single parents"

Perhaps then it would not have been worthwhile to protect only motherhood and not fatherhood in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which is a reference point for legislators and human rights organizations around the world?

_WutzInAName_ · 2025-03-11T22:13:46+00:00

The first claim is correct—women are 51% of the population. The rest of it is make believe feminist propaganda.

Look at the bottom of society and you’ll see a lot more men than women. In the United States, 68% of the homeless population is male, and more than 90% of the incarcerated population is male.

Sources: Statista, Federal Bureau of Prisons.

Wait how could women make up 66 percent of the work force, when the same Feminists always say women aren't giving opportunities in the work force?

MarionberryPrimary50 · 2025-03-11T21:55:27+00:00

83% of single parents

Yeah, because Men aren't given the custody of their child, or are more likely to die than mother, given she survives the childbirth

Doing 66% of the work

Not even close

Only own 1%of the land

Talk about made up bullshit

11% of the pay

Oh, boy here we go again

70% of the poor

What parallel universe are you from?

addition · 2025-03-11T21:50:15+00:00

This is absolutely infuriating, which is probably the point.

Women make up 70% of the poor? Actually it’s more like 70% of homeless people are men.

Doing 66% of the work? Where? In factories? Are women the primary bread winners? Get fucked.

Producing 50% of the food? How many female farmers do you see out there in the hot sun?

11% of the pay? Where the fuck does that number even come from. Even when the pay gap was more of a thing it was never anywhere close to that.

Not to mention it leaves off other numbers like male suicides are almost 4x female.

FightOrFreight · 2025-03-11T22:54:59+00:00

I did a deep dive a few years ago on the 66%, 11% and 1% stats. From what I recall, some UN official was talking about the developing world and pulled those stats out of ~~his~~ her ass in the way that we all do from time to time, but it's been repeated in some corners as gospel ever since.

EDIT: Lord, may this be the last time I ever post a link to the Washington Post. I can't read the whole thing, but Google shows the claim received "Four Pinnochios"

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2015/03/03/the-zombie-statistic-about-womens-share-of-income-and-property/

EDIT 2: After further half-assed inquiry, I've learned the UN official may have been Ann Veneman, former ED of UNICEF.

They just give random percentages lol. It isn't true. It's just some morons

jessi387 · 2025-03-11T23:58:10+00:00

In an attempt to combat the myriad of statistics that show that men are trailing in society…. They have resorted to just making things up.

The one that makes me laugh is that figure that they are 83% of single parents are women….. why is that again ? Oh right , because judges grant mom sole custody, 83% of the time! As per the request of feminists. In the words of Daniel Amneus , judges allow women sole custody, so that they can turn their children into mutiliated beggars, so they can receive subsidy for the poverty THEY have dragged their children into.

This is an attempt to generate sympathy and thus subsidy for problems they are actively creating, so that they can be subsidized further by the government.

Go look up what a “mutliated beggar” is, and you will see right through this facade.

2025-03-12T00:46:33+00:00

They sourced it rectally

Langland88 · 2025-03-11T22:56:52+00:00

That is mostly some fabricated nonsense in that post. First off, sure women are 51% of the human population but only because men have shorter lifespans and therefore there is significantly more elderly women than elderly men in the human population as a result.

70% of poor? But yet men are the overwhelming majority of the homeless population.

66% of the workforce? I'm skeptical of that one. Seems like I still see plenty of men in the workforce especially in blue collar positions.

Producing 50% of the food? So that means the other half of that food is being produced by men. But only earn 11% of the pay and own 1% of the land? I'm still skeptical on this one but I'll take an educated guess that those women are likely married to a male farmer and therefore the pay is collective among them. I'm going to also guess the land ownership might be in their spouse's name or even the name of a son of that said woman. But sure let's overblow the statistics to keep making it look like Women always have it worse than Men so we can continue to invalidate Men's Issues and Struggles.

Too2crazy · 2025-03-12T01:07:51+00:00

These posts are depressing. I know that this is the first step towards organizing but we may need to find a way to start implementing policies faster or future men are going to be screwed in a huge way...

Nidd1075 · 2025-03-12T00:19:38+00:00

Wow. Not one number on here is correct!

ChimpPimp20 · 2025-03-12T03:09:19+00:00

If patriarchy works the way they say it does then some of these stats don’t make any sense.

Initial_Zebra100 · 2025-03-12T07:21:20+00:00

This is the point. No sources, shiny short click bait on social media designed to create a reaction.

It's about reaction and feelings (which admittedly I'm doing to).

It now isn't enough to cite sources, as even then, we can look for specific stufies for bias.

The most deranged extreme feminist will still twist it to show men at fault even when confronted with stats that disagree.

So frustrating.

Guillermo665 · 2025-03-12T00:19:08+00:00

Empathy vampires, sucking up pity wherever they can

Intelligent-You983 · 2025-03-12T00:11:10+00:00

I can say for certain the poverty stats are an absolute and wilful distortion. The rest probably are too.

eldred2 · 2025-03-12T00:52:05+00:00

Sourced anally.

MaximumTangerine5662 · 2025-03-12T04:14:59+00:00

Only own 1% of the Land. I heavily doubt that claim would be accurate.

DemoniteBL · 2025-03-12T12:36:15+00:00

It's blatantly and obviously false. Just google "homelessness by gender" for example.

MayumiTakanawa · 2025-03-12T17:27:27+00:00

They treat it like it's an oppression contest. Always wanting to 1-up everything. Then, when men fall towards right-wing propaganda, they say "why is feminism unpopular" and "feminism is for everyone" (which I agree with, but not when you're so adamant on doing this cringe battle of the binary sexes BS).

Juhne_Month · 2025-03-13T09:15:17+00:00

The 70% of the poor part is from a global Oxfam report, if I recall correctly.

CeleryMan20 · 2025-03-13T11:37:40+00:00

Most poor families or rich families are mixed gender, how the hell do you get 70% of the poor being one gender?

That is just one number, if anything this infographic is a roster call of bias and shit statistics. It doesn’t show that men are the oppressors, it shows that women have twisted oppression in their favour.

GodlessPerson · 2025-03-13T17:39:29+00:00

I remember the percentage of poor women including women married to men but who didn't work so they had no money or property in their name. Usual messing with statistics to get the desired result by feminists.

Apprehensive-Sock606 · 2025-03-12T00:58:53+00:00

The correct to response to this is ‘maybe women should try not sucking at life’ (this is a joke!)

Gina Rinehart has entered the chat.

(Australia’s richest person, doesn’t individually own 1% of the land but her mining company …)

Scary-Welder8404 · 2025-03-15T23:57:11+00:00

1% of the land is a number you have to get to by thought like "all marital property belongs solely to men", I saw that and wrote off the whole image.

ForwardCommercial670 · 2025-03-16T00:00:49+00:00

"That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence." Hitchens's Razor applies here.

2025-03-19T02:59:57+00:00

I can't say I know the exact figures, but I definitely feel like this is very biased and made specifically to grab attention in order to rile unhappy women up. That's the problem with social media posts claiming to showcase statistics; they cherry-pick the studies that offer the most engaging statistics possible, while ignoring those that don't fit with the narrative of the post.

That doesn't necessarily mean the statistics shown are false, just that they could vary depending on the sources and methods used to collect the data, which could be anything from government data to scientific studies to online surveys.

So needless to say, I'm skeptical of these statistics, particularly the bits about comprising 70% of the poor and doing 66% of the work. I'm sorry OOP, but I think additional comments ARE required here.

Devils advocate: Okay but from what I'm told we live in a patriarchy, and men have effectively created society. Why would women get a full cut?

I will call BS. 83% of mothers are single mothers. Like for real only 2 out of 20 mothers are in relationship with kids dad, have kids dad involved in child life or haven't started relationship post break up?

MaximumTangerine5662 · 2025-03-12T04:29:10+00:00

Here is some information on when the first woman land owner was around (I couldn't find exact dates yet but time would prove a likely progressing in land-owning from woman.).

Here is an article
