>Else they're sending the message that they only care about women.

In news just to hand, they do only care about women.

Yes, I agree.

One would reasonably assume that equality means that women are included in traditionally males spaces, and men are included in traditionally female spaces. If the government or other institutions are financing initiatives to support women in this regard, it should be expected that men would likewise be supported in similar ways. Of course, we know that in reality, men are not given the same supports.

This is not new. This has gone on for decades and generations in various ways.

I’m a man and a nurse. I completely agree.

Brooooo, no one is telling you men not to be hair dressers, fashion designers, therapists, women’s and minorities rights social workers, strippers, escorts, sub porn stars, or stay at home dads. You degenerate men who make people not like all men for a good reason just don’t want to because you are afraid that if you act like a woman you will be treated like one. Queer and/or trans men are the only men I see doing these jobs because they aren’t uncomfortable with their masculinity. You insecure men need to learn that you don’t have to prove that you’re a man all the time to still be considered your a man. What I see is that this page jumps way too ahead in giving men what they call “rights” (more tools to make themselves feel superior to all marginalized groups). Stop trying to be better and instead talk about the feelings that make you feel like you need to be better. Then maybe you won’t be killing yourselves more than women because you don’t question your image an unhealthy amount. Being feminine is usually described as being intuitive, emotional, loving, nurturing, and comfortable with yourself. What are you so afraid of? Masculinity does not exist. Masculinity is the fear of being feminine. It’s not being strong, powerful, and important. If you think about it actually NONE of those things are good in a world where everyone had “feminine” traits. They are too broad of concepts. Being emotional makes you strong along with every other positive trait a person can have. I think that men only view being strong as a masculine thing because it makes femininity look like it only has a SMALL amount of traits that make people strong. If I try to think of masculinity in broken down traits as I did with femininity all I can think of is unloving (tough love 100% kinda thing), uncomfortable with their feelings, scared of being inferior, and having a constant need to have reassurance that they are better than all others. None of those make men powerful. All they do is make men scared, pathetic, and immature. Stop thinking of what is considered masculine and instead think of what you want to do. You bum ass hoes are so “lonely” because you live in constant fear of feeling disrespected. Don’t make it feminine people’s problem that you’re so afraid of being as comfortable and confident as them. Queer people aren’t fags, cis het white able men are. Just like a single cigarette they are harmful, same as all the rest, and viewed as not a big deal when they get lost because they are easily replaced and never actually valued (and for good reason if you fit the description of masculine that I said)

I agree, but I also agree that there should be more in place for the trans communities and we still only have binary man/woman conversations.

I also feel that you need to consider the gulf between women's exclusion from the workforce vs man's.
