About men's situation

Hi everyone, I wanted to share my view about the appalling condition of men's rights.

As we all know, in the western world men are 2nd tier citizens, and that is not hard to see: men are the only category which can be sent to die to war and cannot leave a war zone, men have little reproductive rights (nasically a man can be abducted, raped and put on child support legally), men usually can retire after more years of job, then, beyond thr the purely legislative realm, men's gender roles are widely accepted in society and strongly pushed, men are still expected to do what they used to do in the past, with little changes; we can also speak on how courts usually hold a strong bias against men in divorce, or we can also go back into the legislative realm and say that Germany has around 20 laws which discriminate men, in short, if we want to talk about men's discrimination in the western world, we could speak for hours, but that's not my main scope, my main scope is WHY the men's rights situation is so appalling, why nothing changes and nobody cares.

One main issue is that nowadays both the right and the left wing are hostile to men: the right wing, of course, because it strongly pushes men's gender roles and generally speaking sees as okay that men are widely discriminated because it's their role, the right-wing says it loud and proud that men are disposable, the only merit the right has is that they want to erase those laws which favours women in the workplace over men, but, again, for anything else the right-wing is perfectly okay with the status quo.

The left-wing is devious on the other hand, they claim that they fight for gender equality, that they want to "free men too", but then, what have they done for men? Little to none? Have you ever seen a progressive party speaking out against men's discrimination in Ukraine? Of course no, because they ultimately don't care. In the actual left-wing world the reality is that men's rights are ignored and sometimes even made fun of, while in the left wing world misandry is strongly tolerated. If you say that they may answer that is not possible to discriminate a category which holds power, forgetting that the 99,9999999 % of men hold no actual power in our society. Some feminist will defend themselves saying that fighting for women's rights will ultimately help men's rights too, but that's cleearly false, and the today's situation of men's rights prove it, women have full rights granted, while men are trapped in the same gender roles of 100 years ago. We can sum it up saying that the left is like a mom which claims to love equally her two children, but then ultimately cares about just one.

But why is the situation such appalling? The uncomfortable truth is that the main reason why the whole political spectrum sees men as cannon fodder is because for the vasy majority of men THAT'S OKAY, or they just don't care, and I think it comes from two main reasons:

1) Women, due to the feminist battles of the past decades, hold a far stronger common consciousness, they do care about their rights and their caring makes "women rights" (which in 2026 cannot mean anything but women's privileges) a priority. We can sum it up by saying that the majority of men have a strong internalized misandry.

2) Men are brainwashed since childhood to think that being disposable and being basically a 2nd tier person is "cool", we can see for example in the film industry, how men gender roles are often normalized, how mistreating men is normalized, in contrast to the "strong indipendent woman" (and we are talking of the entertainment world, where left-wing is far more influent), that's just the main example, in general society since childhood tells to boys (then men) than providing and protecting is cool, while tells to women that they should only care about themself. This and the first poing are related, this works easily because the majority of men ultimately don't care and reinforces in thr future generations the idea of being disposable.

But, how can it change? How should we move to make it change? In my opinion, our priority now should be to make men wake up, to make them understand how the state treats them as a 2nd tier citizens, and make them understand that we must fight back. To achieve this goal, we must work outside of the right-left paradigm, again, they both don't care, and radicate into those institutions that shape everyday men's life, which may be school or those recreative activities that men do, and anything else that shapes cultural and social life, which is not different from what the socialist-communist left in western countries after ww2, which is to achieve influence and power by gaining a voice in institutions. If we achieve a place there, we can do a counter-brainwash and make many men wake up, change the perception that society forces on men since childhood, and when we will have gained a strong support base, we can go to mainstream parties and force them to listen, since qe will have gained a strong political weight. I think that something that can help men's rights is the fact that in the future a big chunk of men will be single, so they won't put their family first (not having one), but themselves, ultimately (and hopefully) caring more about their rights.

Again, this is just my thougth, I'm open to a free debate about that 😊
