Just a list of issues that men face in the dating world and how it spills over into other areas of life (including a few that end up negatively effecting women as well).

In a perfect world, men wouldn't be subjected to any of this. The fact that men are treated poorly in this area is itself evidence of discrimination against men. And I don't think we can ever have gender equality elsewhere in society if these issues aren't fixed.

The good news is that some of this can be effected by many of the same policy changes that MRAs already advocate for. I actually think most men can navigate the dating world just fine and the real problem lies with legal and social standards that men run into. Those standards (and the potential ramifications of them) in turn influence how men behavior in relationships.

For example, many men are afraid of defending themselves from an abusive partner. And a lot of men don't like the idea of getting married because of what might happen if that marriage dissolves. To a very large extent, this is what leads to things like MGTOW and even the so-called "incel problem".

Feminism and women's advocacy has addressed the dating world pretty heavily so I think there's room for the MRM to address this as well.

What do you think?
