The pole tax on men is why I'm not voting tomorrow

On this I cannot agree with Milo. We need to vote in support of candidates and parties who support men. I'm sure you can find one of those in Britain.

Your vote is one of the most valuable commodity in the political landscape. Please do not waste it.

Oh dear, Im usually a huge fan of Milo and absolutely stand behind everything he has claimed on TV etc, but this just reeks of apathy and whining.

deciding not to vote because you think men have it hard wrt to running costs is just absolutely insane, you cant influence society if you remove yourself from it. and the examples he chooses are pretty weak.

men CHOOSE to buy flashy cars there is no policy or mandatory system that requires them to, if men collectively play the flashy car game that's their choice, if you don't wish to that's your choice.

im pretty disappointed in MILO on this, he is usually pretty spot on and with significant points but this seems like petty whining.

its almost smacks of the feminist victim complex, "oh woe is me tampax is so expensive"

It's fine to have problems with the system, with individuals within it and it's policies. Not voting won't solve any of that. This is moronic

Pretty sure it's a "poll" tax, not a tax on poles or Poles.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 89%. (I'm a bot)

The idea of men being structurally disadvantaged will sound odd to anyone over 30 as I explained in a two-part report last year, younger men are increasingly checking out of society and retreating into porn and video games because they find the world a hostile, gynocentric place.

Not only do women under 30 get paid more than men for the same work in the UK and US, and not only are women disproportionately favoured even in jobs that are better suited to male aptitudes, but even in my parent's generation, the studies simply don't hold water.

Prostate cancer kills more men than breast cancer does women, yet receives a sliver of the funding.

Not reading because of that crazy ad that popped up that I can't seem to close.

It costs more to eat healthily, if you’re a man. According to USDA statistics, among men aged 18-50, there’s aboout a $10 a month premium if you’re a man and you want to get your recommended nutritional needs.

This is pretty much the equivalent of women complaining that they have to pay for feminine hygiene products, birth control, or that they generally have to pay more for shoes, clothes, and haircuts.
