The litmus test for whether men are subjected to oppression or hate is in the responses garnered by raising a concern about it.

Isn't that a feminist argument?

"The reaction to feminist rhetoric is proof that feminist is needed."

Something like that. It even had a name.

It not the near-automatic dismissive or hateful responses, it is the no-platforming, protests, censorship etc.

This is precisely why I get annoyed at the mods on this sub, they're very relaxed usually but I think the way they delete the genuinely hateful stuff towards men posted by feminists who like to brigade only helps the cause of feminists.

Especially those "NotRealFeminist" types who come on here, it's really helpful having threads to directly point them towards that show everybody exactly the kind of hostility not just MRAs but anybody who sticks up for men generally experience daily especially when they bring up real men's issues.

If you censor the people spewing genuine hate, it not only gives their claims credibility and allows them to push a victim narrative. It also means there's very little evidence out there that shows exactly what these people get up to, I'm half wondering whether or not we should be all documenting cases of the kind of shit that feminists post when they brigade us like the "Hahah incel losers" bullshit. It's more annoying than 'offensive' these days I think to most of us because we're that used to it now but you have new people all the time and especially feminist apologists who hop onto the sub to defend these cunts that have no idea what's going on.

Why do you need to test it?

Another simple test is to just replace "men" with "women" (or some other group), in a given case of suspected anti-male discrimination:

-[Women] are more likely to be killed on the job

-[Women] are more likely to be homeless

-[Women] are more likely to commit suicide

-[Women] are more likely to lose custody of their children

-[Women] receive harsher sentences for the same crimes

-[Women] have significantly shorter life expectancy

-[Women] must be taught that rape is bad

Can you imagine any of the above issues just being dismissed by feminists, if they were disproportionately harming women, rather than men?

Edit: For a controversial application of such substitution logic, here's a subreddit that takes anti-male media and replaces the male terms with equivalent words for minorities targeted by the Nazis: https://www.reddit.com/r/menkampf/top/
