Dr Helen: "Why are men silent?"

Because we are shouted down by men and women when we express a view that is contrary to the narrative.

Because we don't have 40 (100?) years of campaining in favour of the rights of our sex.

Because we are not biologically predisposed to same group preference like females are. Men are competitors to each other first and foremost, to band together on a gender issue simply because we are men is a foreign conecept to our psyche.

Because we fear being percieved as weak. To show weakness amongst men is tantamount to letting the tribe down.

Because we fear being an outcast.

I'm an adult white male. According to the modern media I'm responsible for pretty much every problem in the world. I'm the reason why African Americans are poor and angry. I'm the one preventing the Obama administration from turning this country into the utopia it should be. I'm why women are so miserable. Even though TV commercials portray me as an out of touch, bumbling man child who can't dress himself in the morning, I still control everything, so I have no right to complain when I get screwed over. Go me!

The link to a 'related article' at the bottom for me was "5 ways to forfeit your man card."

Really drives home the point.

Men are silent for many reasons; until women of influence such as feminists lobby groups, the media, the HR departments of major companies, the schools, colleges and universities open their minds the silence will continue to be deafening.

Men don’t join the conversation now for the same reason that women didn’t in the ’50s. In the ’50s if a woman complained about her sexist boss then the entire weight of the organization and society came down on her for not playing her part, and being uppity enough to challenge the real power.

So, basically, we've switched one form of sexism for another, yet people still call it progress?

We're not? Anyone on this sub-reddit knows that.

Only place I have found where I can get promoted on ability mostly is the military. There's some favoritism but that's usually for suck ups and people that are friends with the right leaders.
