Man up and Take it: Science confirms that there is greater concern for female than male suffering

That's the greatest challenge MRAs face.

Feminists never had to prove that women suffering was a bad thing. They just had to convince people women were suffering.

But for men you can convince them that men are doing badly and the response is "so"?

And they say they're systematically oppressed

Roy Baumeister is the man.

We're fighting psychology that has been ingrained within us by millions of years of evolution. Technology has upset everything in just the past century or so.

The center cannot hold.

Thank you for posting this. While no study is definitive, I think this one nicely reflects a sentiment that often goes unspoken. It shows in how we react to acts of violence. If it involves inflicting that violence on men, most don't even bat an eye. When it involves women, though, it strikes a chord.

I think the best example of this is that scene in Iron Man 2 where Black Widow breaks into Justin Hammer's facility and beats up all those men in her way. If you were to reverse the genders in that situation, it suddenly takes on a VERY different meaning.

I think that disparity is incredibly relevant and one that presents an immense challenge to more egalitarian policies. If the suffering of one gender is elevated over the other, how can they possibly be equal? They can't. I don't think those attitudes are going to change overnight, but I do think they can evolve over time. It's an arduous process, but one that's worth doing.

In short; society is fundamentally sexist against men, and always has been.
