They didn't even bother to mention how many men sacrificed their lives fighting for women's rights in protests in Iran.

Have women ever given men comparable help? For example, right now in the united kingdom, north korea of feminism, men's and boys' rights are constantly being trampled. Do women protest against this?

OP, the ratio of men:women killed 434:49 which means 90% of the killed adults were men. I see no reason to assume that the ratio among the children is significantly different.

That said, this ignoring of men's plights is nothing new. In fact it's omnipresent.

Let this be a harsh lesson to us men: stop participating in the foolish fight to defend the ungrateful modern woman. The world and most modern women only see men as tools that can be easily discarded when broken.

Remember boys, no State gives a shit about you, no religion gives a shit about you. I come from a Muslim family and I’ve heard this from Muslim men: everything they do is for the women. Women run everything behind the scenes. Christianity is not that different. I mean, do you think ivanka really likes the orange man’s eyes? Her eyes are on the prize, being set for life.

When have women ever helped men unless they benefitted as well?

This isn't even a "women's rights" issue. It's a human issue. Men in Iran get arrested too for improper dress and are killed more in protests. Men get less consideration when abused. Even in Iran

During the Iran-Iraq war, the Iranian government supposedly gathered up boys who were war orphans, indoctrinated them with propaganda about the "evil invaders", then armed them with sharpened sticks and sent them to charge entrenched Iraqi positions, often tied together with ropes so they couldn't change their minds mid-charge and run away.

Oh, and those charges were often against machine gun emplacements, across minefields. Even World War 1 wasn't so pointlessly wasteful of human life. But Iraq had tanks and air support and Western backing; Iran just had people filled with religious fervor.

When I read about that in school, I was horrified, and- alone in the class- for BOTH sides. The awfulness for the Iranians is obvious, but think about the Iraqi soldiers (how willing do you think THEY were? More than the Iranians, but still...), watching a screaming mob of children running across a minefield towards you and your machine gun, occasionally exploding when one steps on a mine, and you HAVE to open fire, because if they reach you, they'll kill you.

When I said as much in class, the attitude I got back was basically "who cares; they're all just terrorists anyway".

Sadly, the value of human life has long been considered quite low in that part of the world- and the rest of it seems to share their opinion, at least about their lives.

They have no sympathy or empathy for men. Even men who die for them, are treated like animals. Liberate yourself from playing the traditional male gender role of protector/provider. Its time to be free, to choose your life, not have it imposed on you like a prison sentence.

I should clarify that it was the West that isolated it as a women's issue. While the lritest broke out after a young girl was brutalized, the women refused to do the women's chant and included men, knowing their sons, brothers, fathers, and husbands were also being brutalized in ways we in the West struggle to comprehend.

I don't wanna victim blame and imma get downvoted like hell for this one, but they fought a battle that wasn't theirs, and their deaths are not worth noting.

LaoboZeus · 2026-02-04T04:37:05+00:00

89.8551% of dead protestors were men

Responsible-Yam-9475 · 2026-02-08T02:34:35+00:00

So... most people killed were men, but the UN is looking into the minority of female victims?
