A test of 'Gendered Issues'.

Someone once wrote it shouldn’t be BLM, it should be men’s lives matter. This does a good job proving that point

Even if one already knows the statistics that comes afterwards, it's still definitively is very impacting and engaging! Like at each first bit I really try to think, what is it,and if the given percentage warrants it being a gendered issue or not. Well done for that!

I would although slightly disagree with your conclusion, some of the statistics you showed shows clearly some issues are gendered and hence needs a gendered lens approach, even some times the same issue needs to be approached with a different lens for each gender even if the proportion of impacted people are roughly the same (I'm thinking domestic violence here for eg). Although I understand it's hard to fit such a distinction in such a medium, so original wholesome conclusion might be better than nothing.

And because I never had the occasion, before I wanted to thank you for the content you're creating. It is just better than anything that there is out there at the moment, you've got a real talent, and I appreciate so much you're putting it towards raising awareness of men's issues!

I haven't posted this on my Instagram page, but it has been something I've been thinking about for a while now.

Is this technique the best way of undoing the flawed concept of 'Gendered Issues'?

As we know, most issues are not gendered at all – as they affect all people.

What do you think?

It’s a great approach. You want to shock people compare two priveleged (unprivileged?! Who knows) groups:

White women Black men

I don't want to be too critical, but maybe a better question for these would be "Which gendered issue is this?" rather than "Is this a gendered issue?".

I think it invites more thought and engagement, because the answer to "is this a gendered issue?" is simply just always "yes, because percentage different" so I found looking at the question slide felt meaningless. And without a meaningful question slide it's just a fact sheet.

Maybe the question "Which gendered issue is this?" is implied, but why not ask it directly?

Your slide on dysphoria/dysmorphia has two different words for the same thing, and one of them is misspelled.

I like that your sources are right there with the stats though :)

By the way not sure how this is a left wing issue. This is skmething both right and left ought to be able to see I2I on

Would I be able to post this and credit you or should I wait for you to post on a lage and I can share it?

One of your best works so far!

It's more complicated than just looking at gender breakdowns by percentage. The why matters. Why are men shot so much more than women? Is it because they commit more violent crime by massive numbers or because police are prejudiced against men? The answer matters. How about homicides, are men putting themselves in proportionately more dangerous situations or do murderers just prefer killing men? Are women just more vunerable to body image problems or does our society encourage them in women more? And on and on and on. You have to look at differences in behaviour just as much as differences in treatment if you want any of this to mean anything.
