Looking for a fair perspective on women's issues from Men's Rights

Considering they have 5x the birth control options as men, I can't even say child birth as that's the only biological problem women face that men don't that would be "unique."

The problem we have is feminists sweeping mens problems under the rug entirely. This sub tends to accept that both men and women have problems and all of them should be dealt with 100% instead of just the percent that affects men or women. There is no "unique" problem for one gender that the other gender doesn't face.

I think you will find that helping men will naturally help women in a lot of areas, I hear in the discussion of child support most feminists would agree with you to your face, men are suffering in the child courts is usually retorted with because women are discouraged from working, as if that is comparable to loosing your kids and most of your income, and this pisses me off a lot because when reform that will help the issue is put forward, feminists did everything in their power to kill it, and it got killed, and now the system is even worse then it was before the reform.

With that perspective what issues do you believe exist in western society that uniquely affect women?

unique is very strong word. And honestly, I can't come up with anything that uniquely affects women. If you had asked for "disproportionally", I'd said:

- aligning career and children

- not being taken seriously (in professional contexts)

- being the victim of sexual misconduct

- being the victim of DV/IPV

If you took every U.S. state and ranked them according to population density you would find that at the top and bottom clusters there is a little gender disparity. It isn't a whole lot, usually 1% more women and 1% fewer men in the dense wealthier states in the Northeast and similar numbers in reverse in Alaska.

Some of the discrepancy is probably just from the fact that women live longer than men and a little of it is probably from women being able to successfully navigate career paths. Not the part that matters.

Getting tons of women to form a marginal majority in a few states is good for political representation only in those areas. Overall it makes womens votes less powerful since the Constitution gives outsize power to rural regions.

No, you're looking for a feminist / sexist / bigoted view on women's issues.

I could name more issues facing billionaires than facing women.

This question deserves a serious answer. We want feminists to acknowledge that men have real problems, so we should also acknowledge the real problems faced by women.

We spend a lot of time talking about false accusations of sexual harassment and rape. But we shouldn't let this distract us from the fact that real sexual harassment and real rape exist as problems for women.

I can't think of any others just now, but I'm sure that there are many more.

They get glances from short Indian men on the bus. They also get pump-n-dumped by tall Aryan gym rats, which is totally not OK.

Good thing you brought this up. It’s a seriously neglected issue. Time for men to sit down & shut up.
