genital mutilation.

double standards around abuse.

In 15 countries around the world only men and/or boys can be subjected to judicial corporal punishment for crimes. This includes lashing, caning, and whipping.

In at least 1 country only boys (excluding all women, girls, and men) can be subjected to judicial corporal punishment.

I say this as a boy who had human growth hormone deficiency as was smaller, weaker, and shorter than all of the girls in my grade level from Kindergarten until around sophomore years if high school. That means that if I was found guilty as a boy for a crime, sufh as stealing some cash, in one of these countries I could have been caned as a skinny and short 8 year old boy but a girl at age 17 who committed a far worse crime, such as murder, would be exempt from any caning whatsoever or even a girl the same age as me who would be taller, heavier, and stronger than me. Not all boys are physically stronger than all girls and not all men are physically stronger than all women. Even a grown ass woman is exempt from caning while little boys are caned for far lesser crimes. This is the world we live in!

Yet the United Nations completely ignores this blatant discrimination and normalization of violence against men and boys.

The normalization of violence against men and boys along with thousands of other double standards against men and boys worldwide.

Male suicides aka - talking about your feelings, - destigmatizing getting help

False allegations is big. Maybe my biggest is the fact that women are allowed to do just about anything they want to men with little or no consequences. Man slaps woman, he's a monster. Woman kicks man in groin, everyone laughs. Man rapes woman, gets decades in jail. Woman rapes man, if he reports it's more likely he'll go to jail than she will. In fact, a woman can make money from raping a man by suing him for child support, even if he was underage when she raped him. I gotta stop typing this comment, it's getting me pissed off.

The lack of evidence needed to convict men of sexual crimes, and the startling disproportionate sentences men face when convicted of those crimes.

Raising awareness that men are the main victims of murder and other violent crime.

Getting people to understand that drafts are slavery and should be banned under international law. Zelensky should be charged with mass enslavement of his country's men by the ICC.

Making it unacceptable to support abortion rights without supporting LPS as well. Either everyone gets reproductive rights or no one does, period.

Awareness of the empathy gap, because how can we combat it if no one knows what it is?

Making people understand that misandry is real and systemic.

Promoting congruent and realistic standards around dating and courtship (e.g., none of the current situation where women are encouraged to earn the same as or more than men without any social pressure for women to finally accept having male partners who earn the same or less than them). I think men mostly already do have realistic standards, given that they rate women along a normal curve rather than only treating the top 20% as being above average, which makes sense, given decades of social pressure for men to not be shallow and accept women who don't have model-tier bodies; women have clearly never been subject to similar social pressure, and it's about time they were.

Combating the assumption that men who get murdered must have done something to deserve it, while all women who get murdered were innocent little angels.

Mental health within our community

1) equality in criminal justice system - prosecution and sentencing should not be gendered. A woman who hits a man should face the same consequences as a man who hits a woman. Equal resources should be put into saving boys from kidnap/rape/SA/abuse/murder as saving girls.

2) equal resources for mental health, dv, and homelessness. Especially in publicly funded shelters/clinics, discrimination should not be allowed

3) gender rolls - society should not be so much harsher on “feminine” men than on “masculine” women. It should be as socially acceptable to be a SAHD as a SAHM. And ok for men to be vulnerable and talk about feelings etc

4) draft should be abolished but as long as it does exist it should not be based on sex. This would move up on my list if I thought it would actually happen but with modern warfare I find it doubtful it will ever be used in my country. In say Ukraine this would be top of the list

5) genital mutilation - a baby cannot consent to circumcision

6) I consider this part of my number 2 priority but also fixing the public education system. Such as how boys are over diagnosed with ADHD and autism because they don’t sit still well or whatever when in many cases the issue is largely the classroom setting not the child. More scholarships for men in nursing, education, etc to equal the funding for women in STEM etc or eliminate the discrimination on the basis of sex in scholarship giving. Prosecute female teachers as harshly as male teachers when they rape a student.

7) custody - default should always be 50/50. Progress on this has been made in many states but more change is still much needed

8) reproductive responsibilities - abortion should be legal up to say 3 months and the woman’s choice. The man would also have the opportunity to opt out of paternity rights, thus not being liable for child support, up to the same time period. If the woman failed to notify the man of the pregnancy by, say, 2 months into the pregnancy to give adequate time for the “paper abortion”, she would lose the option to claim child support from him.

Circumcision.

CCMF_volunteer · 2024-05-31T21:10:37+00:00

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I’ll get to work on this!

A few related things:

The biggest for me are the biases against males in education. This negatively impacts so many and has potentially life long consequences. (I also work in higher education so have seen this very first hand).

I’m very frustrated by the push to deny accused males due process procedures. For me this isn’t just about men’s rights. Due process in my view is a corner stone of any civilized society.

Related, things like MeToo, BeliveWomen, etc., where men are assumed guilty, have careers and more ruined all due to unproven allegations.

My underlying belief is that nobody should be discriminating against due to their sex, race or other demographic characteristics. At this time in history, men face a lot of discrimination.

There are quite a few made redundant by earlier posts.

Conscription, biased laws, p*ssy pass for heinous crimes, male disposability, messy divorce stories, ignored mens' mental health, blatant discrimination against men, male genital mutilation, fatherless families, female pedos, the imposed "666" dating standards by women.

For now, that's all I could think of.

Personally, i think I would say between false allegations and child custody cases
