Not that anyone expects anything resembling intelligent or meaningful conversations on Twitter/X, but earlier I saw an incredibly stupid comment from someone saying that men are too privileged a demographic to ever experience the same systemic issues supposedly affecting women. I mean WTF? How ignorant can someone be to suggest men don't experience problems, don't have systemic disadvantages and that every man is somehow in a position of privilege? This is just more of the usual BS deflecting of issues affecting men and enforcing the "women most affected" narrative that does nothing but divide both men and women, and continue to trivialize or even ignore real issues affecting men.

I'd say men still being forced to register for the draft, lack of due process for potentially innocent men falsely accused, society's failure to recognize and condemn female on male violence/abuse/rape, etc., how badly boys do in schools, the "women and children" narrative (with "children" really referring to girls) and of course how infamously misandrist the courts and legal system are, I'd say these issues affecting men are pretty damn systemic and continue to go ignored and unaddressed because of the ignorant train of thought that men supposedly have it easy and things are much harder for women. Not saying women have it perfect in life but there's so much in the way of aid and services for them, and both misogyny and violence against women are constantly recognized and condemned (and rightfully so). Contrast this with men having next to nothing in the means of aid, people denying misandry exists and how little attention and condemnation violence against men (especially by women) frequently gets (or doesn't, rather).

It's so infuriating and irritating to constantly see this kind of deflecting from issues affecting men, by claiming supposedly anything affecting them isn't "systemic" even when there's so much evidence it actually is. Just like you can't convince some people there's a fire even when it's burning out of control and they're set ablaze and burning to a crisp, you can't convince people of systemic and societal problems affecting men even when presented with hard evidence.

Don't get me started when these same people deny misandry being real and claim it's not systemic like misogyny allegedly is, despite the tons of evidence showing misandry is not only real but has infinitely more systemic power.
