To give an example,

Abortion,

Many people support abortion, mostly left and middle winged people.

Men and women are effected by abortions ban.

But abortion effects women more obviously, so it’s a female issue. Despite this, men still want abortion legalised - supporting women.

Yet for issues around men, the left not only ignores and diminishes them, but they actively attack and patronise men.

Kamala’s team spent 10 million dollars on ad campaign saying that if men dont vote for her, they won’t get laid. What the actual fuck.

Young men that were previously voting left, were the swing voters that let trump win.

Men have issues regardless of if feminists want to acknowledge them, there’s higher rates of homelessness; less higher education; higher victim rates of violent crimes; way more depression resulting in being 3.5 times more likely to kill themselves; the draft only effecting men; etc.

(I might see some people saying the draft law doesn’t matter but Ukraine currently is using it and war can break out at any time especially with trump in power).

There are of course other issues, and there are also issues for women, but it’s a fact, no matter what you think, that you need men and women to win an election. And ignoring the election, especially since im not American or rightwinged, for a good society to function, men and women have to be worried about each others well being.

Were men stroking women’s ego when they helped the fight for suffrage? No.

So why would women helping men’s issues now be “stroking their egos”.

Personally, I think latest wave or fourth or whatever feminism has caused a mentality of “most women have it harder than most men”, when the correct mindset should be: men and women have issues, let’s work to build a equal and better society.

A huge double standerard that perpetuates tbis is the idea that women are victims of the patriarchy and men are a consequence. The only time women ever talk about “men’s issues” is “toxic masculinity” but they do it wrong. Why is it that this is an issue that men have to fight for and that men caused, but the women raising these men to believe these things just have “internalised misogyny”. (To be clear when I say men and women dont objectively most of the time have it harder than the other, im talking about western countries).

This, in my opinion, is caused by

1. Feminism having a lot of “members” that are just sexists/misandarists who happen to have beliefs coinciding with feminism because they’re out for themselves and feminism helps women.

2. Women having a significant ingroup bias, and men having a slight outer group bias. Meaning men and women both sympathise and are more likely to agree with women.

3. Feminism treating men like a monolith. E.g., “not all men but always a man”.

Things like “man vs bear” only made this worse. First of all, all the women that genuinely believe they’d be safer with a bear, are just sexist and insane/illogical. Second, the women who are saying they’re trying to show that they live in fear of most men, referring to things like “not all men but always a man” are being hypocritical. I could say I’d rather be with a bear than a woman because a bear won’t falsely accuse me of rape. Now yes im very unlikely to have this happen to me but it would ruin my life in every way and “not all women but always a woman”. Or if we want a similar example, as a minor, i don’t want to be raped by my teacher and forced to pay child support, I don’t want it so a woman can legally steal my sperm or own it and gain half my wealth.

Women’s rape stats being shown but men’s stats being ignored is another problem, just look at 1in6.org (idgaf that it says SA, it says that because even in the uk women cant be charged with rape, and this is a country pro abortion for decades).

The facts are that if you, as a man or woman, are part of the left or middle and support equality, you have to be willing to speak out for both sexes.

It would be like if Obama only had policies and talking points about black people. No, he had things like Obama care and a pretty decent economy plan.

(If you want to debate me, please dont be rude and have an open mind, I will do the same) (Also by more support to men, I mean more than there is, not more to men than women).

Edit: forgot to mention a big issue for men: alimony and family courts (also courts in general being bused against men, especially minority men)
