You're not worth my time and energy. Go read a book and entertain yourself.

Dehumanizing people different from you (the "other") and then finding personal entertainment by saying mean things and "hurting" them is a large reason why our world is in the shitter.

Men who hate women live unhappy lives. Women who hate men live unhappy lives. There are plenty of toxic internet echo chambers to reinforce this hatred, coddle it, reinforce your biases that your side is innocent and the other are the bad guys.

The reality is, we're all just individuals capable of controlling our own emotions. Hating the other because they're a different gender, skin color, religion, sexuality, nationality - all it does is make you into a useful idiot. Easily manipulated, easily controlled, distracted by some unwinnable war against the other.

All you do is add more misery to your own life, and more misery to the people you pick "fights" with. Adding more misery doesn't fix any problems, it just divides people further.

It's not a competition

One question. More than who or what ?

Prove it.

Let's say that it is true. What difference does it make?

I've removed this post because you can't fight. You are just bravado and bluster.

Fight the good fight. Do stuff that helps out women. A gendered perspective doesn't (usually) hurt.

Prison rape is a gendered issue (women inmates suffer higher rates of it, both from other inmates and from male guards). I bring this up first since it's something that you might not have heard of before, not because I think you're ignorant, but because the mainstream media/populace isn't aware of it. A lot of people think it's just a men's issue.

There's very little point in arguing your larger question, since one can bring up varying statistics on the gender of victims of various issues. A few issues very obviously affect women more, but some are contested.

★The economy (Wage gap, workplace harassment...) -The factor analysis of the wage gap is highly disputed. I will not claim that the wage gap is "debunked" as some say, but I suggest you look into factors that are known to contribute to the raw wage gap: women pick different college majors, spend more time raising kids, do more unpaid work, etc.

★Incarceration (sentencing, rehabilitation, safety...) Search up "feminist pathways theory". Everybody knows that women get incarcerated about 10x less than men, and many believe that they do indeed commit less crime. What some contend is whether or not that female population is as violent, criminal, and/or recidivist as the incarcerated male population. Women prisoners have experienced higher rates of abuse than their male counterparts, so it might not be ethical for them to experience punitive incarceration.

★Schooling issues (dress code, teacher abuse, bullying, gangs, teacher bias, achievement gap...) -Its pretty clear that boys are underperforming in academic results, with the gender gap being aggravated by other factors like race and class. This gap becomes worse for college men. The issue isn't that women are too educated for their presumably male partners, it's that undereducated and alienated male youths are at risk of incarceration and mising out on success.

★Sexual Violence (Street harassment, campus rape, prison rape, war rape, dismissal of victims, fear of sexual violence) -Obviously non-survivor women are far more afraid of rape than non-survivor men. To the best of my knowledge, women do not perpetrate street harassment at significant rates. I'm not very well versed in rape statistics. Search up the legal definition of rape

★Intimate Partner Violence (economic, social, emotional, physical, legal, spiritual, sexual ...) -Women suffer more serious injuries requiring hospital visits as a result of DV. In the US, they form 75% of intimate partner homicides (including exes). This is clearly undisputable. Search up the debate on gender symmetry in IPV. The key debate revolves around reciprocal violence and determining the primary aggressor of such relationships.

★Family Court -I'm not well versed on this. One thing I can say for sure is that mother's rights is not as socially visible as father's rights. Consider reading these links: Op-Ed that refutes idea that family courts are biased against men Organization that advocates for mother's rights

TLDR; both men and women experience suffering . Only recently have women gained power over their personal lives and the political sphere. Some of those who suffer are ignored by those in power due to ignorance/apathy/prejudice.
