Thank you. We support women too!

But you're right, there are a lot of things that need to be fixed for men at the moment, that are generally ignored.

"mens health issues are already taken care of'.

Heh, did the individual in question even bother to check that to see if it was true? Such people are boneheaded enough to be safely ignored at any rate.

I know that there is a belief out there that "if mehh-yehhhn could get Chick Disease X, there'd be a cure for it!" and the obvious riposte to that would be "prostate cancer." But, hey, there's no use in adducing obvious counter-evidence.

Your sincere concern speaks well of you.

On behalf of a woman

You don't need to apologizes for other people being cunts. Don't let bad women represent you, your a good person.

Lethn · 2017-09-17T14:03:35+00:00

Don't apologise, if you weren't one of the man-haters smugly acting the way you describe then you've got nothing to be ashamed of. Now feminists on the other hand who let these people run amok or even actively encourage them have a lot to answer for.

RapeMatters · 2017-09-17T16:18:44+00:00

You don't have to apologize for other women. Women are not a hive-mind, and each woman is responsible for her own attitude in the same way each man is.

All I ask is that you keep trying. The only way this gets better is if we all keep talking, trying, convincing, and helping.

mens health issues are already taken care of

Sadly I've also been told this when trying to bring up men's health issues. And this was by someone who works in the medical/health field. The ignorance is painful.

jeff_the_nurse · 2017-09-17T14:11:37+00:00

Thank you, but don't be angry. Stay calm, and we'll be respected more!

Blutarg · 2017-09-17T17:27:57+00:00

Thank you. Keep fighting the good fight.

Aeternalis_ · 2017-09-17T16:20:41+00:00

Thank you for doing what you can for us.

iamtigerthelion · 2017-09-17T17:52:09+00:00

The current narrative is that women have it worse (as if it's a zero sum game) despite the evidence to the contrary, and as long as that narrative remains, we can't expect anything to change.

UNLIKELYME · 2017-09-17T18:51:59+00:00

Women and men aren't two antagonistic classes. It's just a narrative to say they are.

vexorum · 2017-09-17T17:59:00+00:00

Don't feel bad. It's not your fault. Thank you for showing your sympathy. Perhaps you can set an example. Don't give up.

Pinuspalustris · 2017-09-17T17:59:17+00:00

Your empathy is greatly appreciated. Your rage too. But don't feel like you need to apologize on behalf of yourself or women in general. You aren't responsible for these problems and women in general aren't either.

factsenrageyou · 2017-09-17T19:40:46+00:00

Thank you. It's good to know there are exceptions to the rule. I fear that you and those like you won't matter, because it's already too late.

Zerabus · 2017-09-17T19:51:27+00:00

Well the fact that I've tried to kill myself multiple times clearly shows that men are being taken care of

cld8 · 2017-09-17T23:32:17+00:00

Thanks for the concern, and do try and raise these discussions. I believe that people will take men's issues more seriously if they are raised by a woman.

Dembara · 2017-09-18T00:05:52+00:00

Thank you very much for your support! I wouldn't say we (men) are worse off everywhere, I am sure there are some difficulties women suffer that men don't suffer as much. There certainly are in other parts of the world. But what I care about are the legal rights and treatment which we measurably lack.

As others have said, you do not need to apologize for other's wrong doings. Just because people who share your sex have done bad things, doesn't mean anything about you or even your sex as a whole. Same is true for men. Focus on doing right by the world in anyway you can, and who cares what others do or think. What matters is helping others and getting others to help.

IF you need any suggestions on what you can do, the fine people of this sub would be happy to help!

Also, I still find it peculior that no one finds it odd if a man is a woman's rights advocate, but they express shock that anyone, much less a woman would be a men's rights advocate. I suspect it is because they can easily dismiss men as being selfish and reactionary to women having rights (which we are not, I consider myself a woman's rights advocate as well as men's rights advocate, as it is necessary to be both to be a human rights advocate). Then a woman comes along and says the same thing and they can't just dismiss it from their sex, so they come up with things like "internalized misogyny" so they can claim that those women just hate themselves and are against women having rights.

Whitified · 2017-09-18T00:26:15+00:00

Female here too.....I love you lmao I have literally stopped talking to all my female friends because they are so far gone with their psychotic bullshit. They call it feminism, but it's not about equality at all. I'm glad to see there are some women left that take responsibility for themselves. Too many women want to play the victim and have everything handed to them. They'd rather claim discrimination than put in hard work for what they want. These crazy ass militant feminists are literally teaching little girls that they are owed something because they were born with a vagina. Sorry for the rant, I get really heated everytime I think about it!!

Macheako · 2017-09-17T14:50:16+00:00

We'll be fine chick. Thanks for the concern, but if you really care, dont waste your time telling us, SHOW the men in your life you do care.

Do what ya can, while ya can. What other chances at this life are ya gonna have ;)

UtahStateAgnostics · 2017-09-17T21:12:00+00:00

Love the post, but I am wondering if you could provide some specific examples of how education is taught in a way to benefit females. I've asked this question before and gotten some pretty vague answers.

I ask because I'm a teacher and I really try to be egalitarian in my approach and want to make sure I'm not doing anything that hinders either sex's education. Thanks.

Volcanic-Penguin · 2017-09-17T22:27:26+00:00

Thanks for caring!

2017-09-18T00:34:41+00:00

Reading these comments puts it even more into perspective. So many men saying you don't have to apologize for the actions of other women, since we're not all man hating assholes. This versus almost every female I used to be friends with, who are adamant that all men are rapists. Apparently if they've never raped, it's just a matter of time until they do,so they should all be locked up or put underground. No, bullshit, I couldn't even make this shit up. It's sad and so fucked up.

full_control · 2017-09-18T01:27:55+00:00

Thank you for having unbiased sympathy. I feel similarly in that gender is immaterial for things that screw people over and that suffering is not a zero sum game. I also read twox and feel a lot of sympathy for women as well.

DuelFan · 2017-09-18T01:33:41+00:00

Thanks for your concern. Hopefully one day we will achieve equity for all, no matter their race, religion, and/or gender!

Rethgil · 2017-09-17T20:18:55+00:00

What sort of behaviour did you see from women who objected? Have you found feminists to be worse? I'd be interested to know how they react as its useful for us to know as we often face such mindless thug like abuse.

Whitified · 2017-09-18T00:55:27+00:00

you're angry cos mens issues managed to make you emotional

Pity the ones whose plight can't even cause emotions in others.
