This is why I feel like we will never be equal

Be part of the solution and start hyping up the men in your life and strangers for that matter! And also speak up against the injustices. Keep fighting the good fight 💪

I just saw a post on the french equivalent of "AskMen".

A dude that was battered by his wife. He called the cops, he had black eye, hematomas, scratch marks. She had nothing.

They took her to the station, he spent 20 hours in a cell. In his deposition he described having been beaten and scratched. His own wife admits to having beaten him and scratches him. The coroner examined him and declared he was beaten.

The dude was charged with battery, and has been sentenced to follow a formation to reform violent men.

And in the comment, a guy said he was in the same situation and was sentenced to 2 years in prison...

It's disgusting.

Nice points.

False accusations basically reveal the issue. The problem is that women are invested in each other, and their mistakes are minimized and not punished.

If you speak against false accusations, they'll tell you about how you always need to take it seriously because it could be real, ignoring the whole moral of crying wolf.

Men bring up mothers killing their own babies (not by abortion), women always jump in and talk about how she's not in her right mind and should be forgiven. Do they think most criminals are in their right mind? Recently I had some chick try to minimize how a woman was acting when she shook herself in frustration until the baby fell off and just sat their angry while the baby tried to find a new way to approach her. "Oh she was touched out," it's a fucking baby... Her fucking baby, what are we talking about!?

It's pathetic. Imagine you had the ability to fight for anything, and you fight for the innocence of harming born children. Let's defend the ability to lie, and fight to maintain the image that every single one of us is a 10/10. But if we request they consider treating men fairly, they bring up poisoned skittles. We're in a similar boat but it's a two way mirror. They see what we do, but when we look, we're only allowed to see what we do.

You learn a lot about people based on what they're willing to fight for. If this is what they want, they're no good.

Correct. We will never be equal. Don't sit around waiting for it.

Men and women not equal... and never have been, never will be, nor should be even try to be.
But that's not a bad thing. That just IS how it is.

What you're largely describing is the impact of, yes, feminism upon western culture (and still more broadly across the globe)... but also flat-out misandry.

While the examples you give are, sadly, too common... they're not the case for every person in existence.

Men, simply don't be so needy with women.
Sure, you may want a woman for companionship and/or intimacy, etc., but you do not NEED them.
If they're nice to you, great, but never expect it, and never depend upon it. You're better than that and a woman's approval should not be necessary. The hilarious part is, of course, that you'll easily see women all over social media claiming the same about themselves. By and large, the truth is quite the opposite in their case.

Don't post pictures online looking for female approval. Just don't. You've proven the chances aren't great a guy will get it UNLESS he's super-mega-chad or whatever. Sure, post whatever you want... but have adequate expectations.

Don't fight with your wife. Period. If she fights with you... don't give in and respond with any energy she would expect. Stay calm. Stay collected. Even if anything, that will help your case by making her angrier... unless she's actually a mature adult human being. Let's hope she is.

Also, the opinions of her "friends" don't and shouldn't matter... not really. If she's a good woman, she'd agree.

Don't commit crimes. There, solved.

Yeah, human beings are born broken, and we all suck. It's up to our internal nature AND how we're raised that has the chance of countering that. Toxicity is not monopolized by either of the (two) sexes. So, yes, western feminist society is structured so that women will more frequently be treated with greater leniency. I agree, that's dumb... but it's also part of human nature (often called the "women are wonderful" effect) to be softer toward women UNTIL they do things that are profoundly beyond monstrous.

The sexual harassment double standard sucks as well. The harsh truth... get over it.
None of us as INDIVIDUALS will change that. Those changes have to come from WITHIN a person.
So if you're sexually harassed... as long as it's not violent or legitimate of a violating nature, stalker-ish, etc.... just let it go, at least in the moment. If something can be done about it later, and successfully... then do what you feel you must.

Otherwise, yourself, don't do things that are commonly understood to be sexually harassing.

But OBVIOUSLY... too many people are virtue-signaling freaks who don't know the difference between "hey, nice hair cut" and "nice boobs"... seriously. Those people are the problem and we can't do much of anything about. Like the above, them changing has to come voluntarily from within themselves.

Good luck. 🤝

Because neither of us has a womb, this is all we have right now — building value through reputation, humor, contribution, friendship, and connection. In ten years, perhaps we may have wombs. But now, we collaborate with others like us, become better, and wait.

we will never be equal because the society would have to be 100% liberal to get past paternalism + disposability -> fair gender neutral...
