A womans death is a tragedy; a mans death is a happening.
Thats the military view at least, but this mentality spreads throughout.

Men have no choice when it comes to pro-choice.
Ill probably get killed for this, but anyway, Im very pro-choice.
Women, your body, your decision, zero issue with that.
Id probably step up anyway, cause I have a conscience, but whats with the obligation?
Athletes/actors/celebs are targets for groupies trying to get a payday.

Were expected to not have any emotions.
At this very moment, Im sitting at a table for 2 eating alone.
This was supposed to be my first date in months.
Im emotionally crying on the inside but I cant show it.
I cant cry, because Ill look weak.
I cant slam the table, because Ill look dangerous.
I cant yell, because Ill look crazy.

We are never allowed to appear weak.
Society demands it on every level.
And its absolutely grounded in shame.

Maintaining your personal mental health in a society that emphasizes the exact opposite.
Policelaugh at uswhen we report domestic abuse.
Courtslaugh at uswhen we try and get custody of our kids from an abusive spouse.
We becomejokesto our own family.

The suffering of men is less important than the suffering of women.
I havent seen anyone here mention obligatory military conscription for males where females do not.
Some other include the idea of women and children first.
Inherent in that belief is that mens lives are less important or valuable.
That the suffering of men is less important than the suffering of women.
Women receive much more pity and help when struggling with issues while men are expected to deal with it.
Males receive much harsher punishments on a systemic level for crimes rather than females.
Men commit suicide at much higher rates than women.

Nobody gives a shit about us.
The expectation that I should be able to deal with all my problems myself without any help.
Were just told to man up and deal with it.

We have unequal rights in general regarding children and child care.
Unequal paternity leave/rights… Just unequal rights in general regarding children and child care.

Its way harder to feign ignorance/powerlessness as a male student.
I dont know how true this is, but its way harder to feign ignorance/powerlessness as a male student.
They were always softer with girls.
But maybe thats just IT.

If a female slaps a man in public its not extreme for people to call her empowered.
Males get the least sympathy, it seems for abuse.
If a female slaps a man in public its not extreme for people to call her empowered.
Many would assume the man is in the wrong for getting slapped.
Not everyone does this but its at the very least a large minority.

Despite the statistics, were assumed to be the primary aggressor in all domestic cases.
(Douglas and Hines, 2011) Some 302 men were surveyed.
(p. 8) The partner was deemed the primary aggressor in 54.9% of the cases.

People think youre some creepy freak whenever you go out in public.
We had a group of kids who returned every year so we all got along well.
I have younger family members that Im now afraid to interact with because of this social stigma.

Back when men had virtually all the power, they had all the responsibility too.
Over past several decades, the power is more and more uniformly divided between men and women.
Homelessness for example, 1 in 4 homeless are women!!
47% of male victims of domestic abuse are threatened with arrest.
21% are arrested.
Males receive, on average, 63% longer sentences than females for the exact same crime.

A woman plays with a random child on the playground?
Aw, so sweet.
A man plays with a random child on the playground?
CALL THE POLICE!!!

A wife works extra hours to make ends meet?
That poor woman… A husband works extra hours to make ends meet?
Well, thats his job!
A woman claims abuse?
Send the man to prison!
A man claims abuse?
Well he obviously did something to deserve it, hes probably exaggerating, etc.

The amount of power women have over men legally is terrifying.
Knowing that a casual fling with the wrong girl could ruin your entire life.
The amount of power women have over men legally is terrifying.
Its completely possible for a woman to decide after the fact that something consensual wasnt to her liking.
The laws exist to prevent and punish real sexual assault.
These laws are necessary and I personally cant see a better solution.
Thats what makes the ability to abuse them so scary.

I have yet to meet a woman that understands this at all.
I had horrible depression for about a decade.
Nobody in my own family helped me.
Without going into details, he saved my life.
Im even saving for a house and getting back to school.
This is all thanks to him, Ill consider him a brother for life.
Something about that is simultaneously very logical and very sad.

If a girl cries, its OK; if a guy cries, he is acting like a baby.
If a girl sees that you are skinny, she rejects you because skinny males are unattractive.
I can think of so many examples given that the list of variables are endless.

There would be earsplitting whining of the highest order and rightly so.
