Exactly, and if we get stuck in an argument of who has it worse, we get nowhere. No one wins a pissing a contest because they always end with everything smelling like piss.

[–]Archibald_Andino [スコア非表示]  (104子コメント)

A suffering contest isn't the point. The mainstream belief in our country, that is repeated over and over again, is the myth that females are oppressed and that males use bigotry and sexism to have unfair advantages over women. This falsehood goes unchallenged nearly every time.

Issues that affect men, like the ones on this list, are completely ignored. To this point, can anyone name a single single state-sponsored privilege or advantage that males have? None, right? Compare this to females not having to register for the selective service. Compare this to females being protected by law from being charged more for health insurance where males are charged significantly more for life and car insurance. Compare this to federal funding for breast cancer being nearly 3x as much as prostate cancer even though they have similar number of victims. Compare this to females having 4x the number of scholarships available to them, even though they comprise 60% of college students. Compare this to government grants for reserved exclusively for women-owned business. Compare this to the huge outreach to get more females in STEM vs. exactly zero outreach programs for males. Compare this to men serving 63% longer prison sentences for the same conviction. Compare this to females getting huge advantages in family court. Compare this to every university having a "women's center".

The list goes on and on. So, not only are females not oppressed in any first world country, they have many, many advantages YET the only mantra we hear over and over and over again is this myth of female oppression, male privilege and male sexism.

Why is it so hard for the actual truth to be told?

[–]FatGuyANALLIttlecoatI liked Superbad [スコア非表示]  (101子コメント)

Anyone with a brain knows that it's not perfect for men, but to start quoting these things that men must endure does not nullify the things women must endure, just like how the converse is true. Just because women have it bad, doesn't nullify what men must endure.

It's not a contest. Let me build on what I said above--we need to fix these gender inequality problems, and if we get sucked into a pissing contest where we are all racing to the bottom, how are we going to fix anything?

[–]Reddisaurusrekts [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

It's not a contest, which is why the graphic isn't actually titled "Why men are oppressed" like every single feminist graphic, and why the post is just satirizing the feminist concept of male privilege and the commonly accepted notion that men have it better.

[–]Archibald_Andino [スコア非表示]  (92子コメント)

In America, in the year 2016, please name these "gender inequality" problems you are referring to? Show me one example where a female doesn't have the same equal opportunities as a male?

[–]alcabazarJohn Scott-kin (snipe/sniper/snipeself) [スコア非表示]  (9子コメント)

I work in a blue-ish collar outdoor job that is done in crews. If a man is named supervisor nobody bats an eye; if a woman gets named there's suddenly rumors about what she did to get there and accusations she only got promoted for being female. All male higher ups also subscribe very strongly to the idea that an all male crew will have less drama and work better, so women often don't get hired regardless of their ability to do the job or their experience. The double standard is very real.

[–]gynlimn [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

I've worked blue and white collar jobs, with both male and female dominated jobs. This hypocrisy has been true at all jobs. No matter what sex is targeted, it has the same effect. The firms And employees suffer.

[–]TracyMorganFreeman [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

if a woman gets named there's suddenly rumors about what she did to get there and accusations she only got promoted for being female.

You mean how when people look at the composition of CEOs and politicians and think men being overrepresented is suspiciously sexist?

Statistically women in every field work less than men in that field, including female dominated fields like nursing. Perhaps the reason nobody bats an eye when a man is named supervisor is because typically there are far more men with the qualifications to be so.

As long as people think gender shouldn't matter while simultaneously pushing for affirmation action, there will always be scrutiny over people being hired for something other than merit. You're not fixing discrimination you're just changing the manner of discrimination, so hence the scrutiny.

[–]ivanka__trump [スコア非表示]  (5子コメント)

This is just the outsider effect, not an issue of "gender inequality." The same thing happens for men advancing in fields dominated by women. The underlying cause in your scenario is that there aren't more women in your industry, which is not a "gender inequality" issue, it's the natural propensity for women to find physical outdoor jobs undesirable (on average), just like how the average man doesn't go into education or childcare and faces perceptions of being a child molester or creep if he does.

[–]hajsallad [スコア非表示]  (4子コメント)

Outsider effect has been large part of gender and racial issues for millennia. Just because you don't have the right x does not mean you shouldn't stop your opportunities. It's a core value in any equality ideology.

[–]ivanka__trump [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

Yes, that's what I said...

But to call it a "gender inequality" issue is superficial and disingenuous, when the root cause is that there's a disproportionate amount of one gender in the environment due to that gender's preferences, not some oppressive atmosphere where that gender is prevented from joining the environmet.

[–]bobthrowawaybob [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

But there are many more male dominated fields than women dominated fields, and female dominated fields are often still dominated by men at the top. Therefore it's an issue that disproportionately affects women.

[–]alcabazarJohn Scott-kin (snipe/sniper/snipeself) [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

That's just a spin of words, I could just as easily say a black man has a hard time getting a job in rural Kansas not because of racism but because his skin colour makes him an outsider. That's still racism. Not to mention that yes, when the preference for one gender over the other is self fulfilling that does create an oppressive atmosphere, doesn't matter if we are talking about male kindergarten teachers or female truck drivers. We are not animals acting out of instinct, we are supposed to be rational intelligent people who should be able to ignore ideas we know are morally wrong.

P.S. I have no clue if black people actually have a hard time getting employed in rural Kansas

[–]hajsallad [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

The person you where responding to was talking about the problems for women at his workplace. Not that there were not enough women at his workplace but that there are problems when gaining promotions.

The issue is when a field is hampering a part of the competent work force because of a person having a different race/sex/religion than the norm. Are you saying this isn't an issue?

[–]Archibald_Andino [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Women have demanded and received a long, long list of special considerations, quotas, affirmative action, and lower standards. Then, at the same time, you deem it unfair if someone points out these privileges. Real life doesn't work that way. Special privileges or not. You have to pick one. Again, these issues are equally countered on the other side. A male Kindergarten teacher faces the same issues.

  • Still no answer to why men's issues are virtually ignored.

  • Still no answer to the long list of state-sponsored favoritism towards females vs exactly zero for males.

[–]LGBecca [スコア非表示]  (38子コメント)

I'm going to bet that you've never had a car salesman completely ignore your existence but then trip over himself to go help your husband the moment he walks onto the lot. Or have a landlord call you "little lady" before speaking exclusively to your husband even though you were sitting at the same table.

Edit: to all those with the snarky replies: You would not be so sarcastic if you were treated like you were not worthy of being spoken to just because of your anatomy. It's not about a single encounter, it's about repeatedly being treated as less than the men in the room. It's about your existence being dismissed instantly because of your sex. It matters when it happens over and over throughout your life.

I'm not saying it's a tragedy or that it compares to what women in other countries go through. But it is real, it does happen and it does matter.

[–]Archibald_Andino [スコア非表示]  (33子コメント)

The question, which you ignored, was name a single example where females don't have equal opportunity.

Also not a single example of state-sponsored favoritism towards males, right? The social examples/deflections you make can easily be matched on the other side: a male is treated like a pedofile around kids, a man is a failure if stays at home, a man who doesn't pay for most of the costs of dating is a cheap loser, etc, etc.

[–]NouberNou [スコア非表示]  (32子コメント)

The social examples/deflections you make can easily be matched on the other side: a male is treated like a pedofile around kids, a man is a failure if stays at home, a man who doesn't pay for most of the costs of dating is a cheap loser, etc, etc.

Sounds like you have some issues yourself if you have run into any of those things on a consistent basis.

Are you creepy/uncomfortable around children? Then yea, of course someone is going to think you are a creep.

Do you do nothing and lay around the house not contributing or just being a mooch? Then yea, you probably are a failure on some level.

Do you date shallow women who don't split the cost of a date (I've literally never been on a first date where we didn't go dutch on the checks, even a 50/50 split when I've ordered more drinks than her).

Learn to be comfortable around children (not hard, do you have any relatives/friends/siblings with small children?), get a job and don't be a loser, and quit dating jerks.

If you think those are systemic problems caused entirely by women then you are living in a fantasy world where you are justifying a lot of your own shortcomings on literally half the other people in the world. Man up.

[–]pm_me_math_proofs [スコア非表示]  (12子コメント)

I wonder if you can see the irony in your comment. Just swap the genders in your last paragraph.

[–]NouberNou [スコア非表示]  (11子コメント)

Except they are justifiably and provably systemic issues with our gender in that case. Just because you can switch genders and it sounds like it is a realistic statement of fact, doesn't mean it is so.

[–]pm_me_math_proofs [スコア非表示]  (10子コメント)

So there are no systemic issues that are harmful to males? Neato.

Again. Just because without switching genders it sounds like a realistic statement of fact, doesn't mean it is so. I don't see any numbers from you. And if 77% or 79% is one of those numbers, I already know where we stand. I do see numbers in this picture though, although since it concerns male issues, and males are de facto beneficiaries of "the system", apparently it doesn't count.

[–]Rabid-Ginger [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

Yea, pretty much this. Victim blaming is still a huge issue in the US, and so many people on Reddit will throw up the "well men get raped too".

Interesting that you warn against victim blaming in one comment just above, then revert right back to it in this comment.

[–]NouberNou [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

He is a victim because he dates shallow/cheap women (again counter point to his assumingly anecdotal evidence is plenty of anecdotal evidence from me, and pretty much every single guy and single girl I know in Seattle)? He is complaining that people call him a loser for not having a job and staying at home, well duh, I'm a guy and I'd call him a loser too for that, why should he get a pass on that? He gets called a pedophile for just being around children? I have never seen this and I hang around small children that are not my own all the time and I'm a dude with a beard and a mustache and a shaved head... Come on, if you are acting creepy/uncomfortable around small children then people are going to be apprehensive, stop being creepy around small kids and you wont be called a creep. You aren't the victim if you can not compose yourself properly around other people's kids.

[–]ivanka__trump [スコア非表示]  (13子コメント)

You're literally giving a perfect example of misandry to match the parent comment's example of misogyny.

[–]ShortSomeCashTranskeleton. I'm real spooky on the inside. [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Neither comment is violent or even hateful, so no mis-anything is present. I could see an argument for sexism though, on either.

[–]NouberNou [スコア非表示]  (11子コメント)

The guy is complaining about being called a loser because he stays at home... I mean assuming he isn't a stay at home dad, and literally is just a mooch or a wasteman, then yea, that is a valid criticism by anyone of any gender.

Also I really do not get the pedophile thing or the dating thing. Don't know any men that have had that happen, never has happened to me, and I can't even think of any tales of it happening to a random person or just word of mouth (except for on subs like these).

[–]ivanka__trump [スコア非表示]  (6子コメント)

That's all I'm getting at. I'm a self-sufficient yuppie with no social issues so I expect others to at least put as much effort into their success as I have, but that expectation should be gender-blind. There's plenty of women who live their whole lives as dependents, and even if they have a brief career it's a non-lucrative joke that they end up giving up to be moms. Men who do the same thing should be considered equally, whether that's in a good or bad light.

[–]ShortSomeCashTranskeleton. I'm real spooky on the inside. [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

Would you tell /u/LGBecca "Learn to to be so impressive that everybody thinks you wear the pants in your household."? Someone victim to a stereotype doesn't have to "Man up" and act as a counterexample. The perpetuators of the stereotype are the ones at fault and they should change, not those they harass. You have a backwards, victim-blaming outlook on this.

[–]NouberNou [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

Where did I say to be impressive? He wasn't saying be a stay at home father, he was saying stays at home. Does that mean he lays around the house and does nothing? In the context of dating, what person of any gender is interested in that? In the context of just general acceptance by the population, what gender pushes the "you should be working" stereotype of manliness? We do!

[–]ShortSomeCashTranskeleton. I'm real spooky on the inside. [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

I was just constructing an example of what a person like you would say to the other gender. You're "Men are supposed to be breadwinners, get to fucking work" is just as rude and victim blaming as my example.

In the context of just general acceptance by the population, what gender pushes the "you should be working" stereotype of manliness? We do!

If all your friends jumped off the sexist asshole cliff, does that mean you should too? Change has to happen with individuals, giving up and fitting in is exactly what perpetuates cultural bullshit like this.

Anecdotes about microaggressions - you have thoroughly made your point.

[–]TheSleeperWakes [スコア非表示]  (5子コメント)

Well, women are less likely to be hired particularly in corporate environments because it's expected that they will have children & that will lead to less time spent working. & since I know you're resistant to the idea that women in anyway suffer from gender inequality, here's how that also has a negative effect on men: this leads to the expectation that men will not need much time off from work when a child is born because the mother is expected to be taking care of that. This reinforces the idea that women are caretakers and men are not, which leads to the lopsided custody numbers from the original post.

[–]Ephixia [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

I'm not sure that's the case anymore. There has been such a massive push for companies and universities to meet diversity quotas that things have started to reverse. At least in tech fields.

[–]TheSleeperWakes [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

You're right, these kinds of plans are meant to counteract the bias I'm talking about. Whether you think it's the right way to do it is another question, and up to you to decide. My point is that those biases exist & are reinforced every time you look through a company's website & see that every single leadership position is held by a man.

[–]CopyPasterinos [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

Nah, these plans are meant to make women shut up. Honestly, it's literally just the government or companies giving women a freebie. If you think that these plans are meant to couteract the bias that you're talking about, then who sets these plans in to motion? Who signs off on them? Oh that's right people in leadership positions (AKA Men). So if there's a secret conspiracy to keep women down why would these programs even exist?

[–]TheSleeperWakes [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Bias isn't a secret conspiracy, it's a thing that people have inside them that often they don't even realize.

[–]ivanka__trump [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Bullshit. I'm in a high-performance technology team in finance and if a woman is even remotely qualified they get snapped up. The real problem is finding enough qualified people to begin with, so if a woman's among the initial pool she definitely gets preference over similarly-qualified men for appearances.

The pendulum has already swung far in the other direction from the 80's-era good-ole-boy man-networks you seem to think still exist.

[–]FatGuyANALLIttlecoatI liked Superbad [スコア非表示]  (32子コメント)

Women tend to suffer from domestic abuse violence, tend to get mugged more, sexually harassed at the workplace, tend to be roofied more, raped more (outside of prison) than men do. Sure, they are offered these opportunities, but it doesn't undo the need for battered women shelters in this nation.

I don't need to worry when I go out at night to buy something at the store that I am going to be a target of some fuckery, as I am a tall male.

[–]NouberNou [スコア非表示]  (22子コメント)

Yea, pretty much this. Victim blaming is still a huge issue in the US, and so many people on Reddit will throw up the "well men get raped too". No shit sherlock, we need to stop all rapes, but by and large most sexual assaults are men assaulting women, so much so that there is good reason to NOT trust men around you when you are out at night, even in safe cities.

Off the top of my head I can not think of a single close female friend of mine who hasn't been sexually assaulted or drugged. It fucking sucks. You know how many close male friends of mine I can think of that have been sexually assaulted and drugged? None. You know how many friends of friends I can think of that have sexually assaulted women? Disturbingly, more than zero, and I don't even hang out with a "bad" crowd.

[–]ShortSomeCashTranskeleton. I'm real spooky on the inside. [スコア非表示]  (9子コメント)

You know how many close male friends of mine I can think of that have been sexually assaulted and drugged? None.

You'd be surprised. A lot of men have been assaulted, but most will only speak of it in very specific circumstances.

[–]NouberNou [スコア非表示]  (8子コメント)

And what genders fault is that? If I were sexaully assaulted I'd feel probably far more comfortable talking to a woman about it because they'd at least be in the mindset to understand since it is so prevalent (I just looked up the stats for the US and it is 1 in 5 women will be raped in their lifetime, whereas 1 in 74 men will be raped). As a gender we have stigmatized rape of men by men or women as being weak (I mean the very act of rape is far more power based than sex based). We need to work on that for our gender because we are the ones making it shit there and no one else.

[–]ShortSomeCashTranskeleton. I'm real spooky on the inside. [スコア非表示]  (7子コメント)

And what genders fault is that

Gender is a personal trait, not a conspiracy. That being said, it's pretty sexist to assume that men, who have always had a diminished role in child-rearing, are entirely or even majorly responsible for any tenet of any culture.

[–]NouberNou [スコア非表示]  (6子コメント)

Every woman you know has been sexually assaulted or drugged? Your female friends need to take a closer look at hanging out with you. Something is fucky.

[–]NouberNou [スコア非表示]  (8子コメント)

I know this is a joke, but a lot of them aren't even close friends, it just has come up in conversation, and it is almost something casual to them at this point, which is kind of sad.

I think the statistics are something like 1 out of 4 women will be sexually assaulted in their life. That is a horrifying percentage.

[–]CopyPasterinos [スコア非表示]  (7子コメント)

Yeah it's a false percentage too. Stop reading the Huffington post mate. 1 in 4 women will be sexually assaulted? You have to be retarded to think that's true.

[–]willmaster123 [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

I have seen this too. I would say about 80% of my female friends have at least a few stories about guys following them, grabbing them, trying to make out with them without their permission, drugging them etc.

this is so close to rule 3. I'm letting it through as you are attacking a core point of their argument(and likely aren't serious) It is beyond ridiculous that NouberNou only knows women who have been sexually assaulted/drugged, and would be something people would wonder about.

sexually harassed at the workplace, tend to be roofied more, raped more

I'm skeptical of these kinds of statistics, because as a male who has been sexually assaulted, both drugged and without such courtesy, I know I'm not counted. I wasn't taken seriously by the police, and no data was recorded.

[–]zinlakin [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

You DV reporting rates are all crap. Ever been smacked around by a crazy bitch and then the cops show up? I have (she called them) and who do you think they immediately cornered and tried to arrest?

[–]CopyPasterinos [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

Women don't get mugged more first of all. And saying women get raped more when you exclude prison is basically saying "I'm wrong so i'm going to shape the argument so i'm right".

Women tend to suffer from domestic abuse violence

Not true at all. Women are actually the abuser more often than the man. In one-sided abusive relationships it is the woman who is the abuser in ~70% of cases.

raped more (outside of prison)

Qualifiers; that's how one is able to make the case for the poor oppressed women.

I don't need to worry when I go out at night to buy something at the store that I am going to be a target of some fuckery, as I am a tall male.

Women don't need to worry either, they just say they're scared of everything.

[–]carorea [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Here are some relevant sources, and here are some additional ones.

Generally, most studies tend to find that violence rates are at least roughly equal between the genders, if not with a slight bent towards women being the abusers more often in non-reciprocal relationships. Perhaps that's a result of things like the Duluth model being implemented, or maybe it is from other cultural reasons.

[–]KarlOskar12 [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Violent crime - men are affected more by violent crime and "serious violent crime."

Not only did the CDC find that men are actually more often the victims, but there are almost no systems in place to help them.

And some more thoughts. I'd like to also point out "According to one study, 63% of males as opposed to 15% of females had a deadly weapon used against them in a fight with an intimate partner." from this article.

I know, but the evidence they point to was a study that basically that men on average make more over their lifetime than women because men favor jobs that pay better and women favor jobs that offer more flexibility.

Some of the evidence they point to certainly, there are also studies they point to that are more compelling than that.

Walking alone at night. I'm a bald headed, big dude. I've never once felt threatened when I am walking alone in the city at night.

Girls on the other hand, ask any of them and they will tell you that they almost always feel uncomfortable walking alone at night. Why is that? Because there is a real chance that they will get sexually assaulted at some point in their life, or already have been sexually assaulted.

Very few women I know IRL feel like that.

There's also a real chance you'll be in a car accident, or win the lottery, or get cancer.

Not more than men; by every estimate that measures victimization/perpetration by both genders it's equal or shows that men are victimized more.

tend to get mugged more

When 80% of assault victims are men? Ok.

sexually harassed at the workplace, tend to be roofied more

Proof?

raped more (outside of prison) than men do.

Not when you include 'forced to penetrate' in your definition of rape, which most studies don't.

While I agree with some of the things you are saying, I think it's important to note that one of the reasons there is more funding in breast cancer is due to it generally having a poorer overall survival rates. Prostate cancer is quite insidious and approx. 90% of males survive after 15 years. 30 years ago breast cancer was much lower (70% at 5 years) and due to prioritising research in this area that gap has been reduced dramatically. (this is from memory so feel free to correct me)

Now whether the money spent on screening in some countries actually improves survival rates, that's another barrel of fish entirely.

If you really think women aren't oppressed because of those things then you aren't looking at the bigger picture, or you just straight up have no idea what its like to be a woman.

Woman have certain advantages but they also have an insane amount of disadvantages when it comes to society. Woman aren't taken as seriously as men. Women are raped far more than men. Women suffer sexual harassment on a pretty disgusting scale. Women cannot protect themselves as well as men can, making them obvious targets for crimes. Women often have to take care of the kids while men can continue to live their lives elsewhere. Women are shamed for sleeping with too many guys. Women are shamed for getting abortions. Women are much, much more emotional and less stoic. Women have a harder time getting ahead in the workplace (this is mostly what people mean by the wage gap). Women have much larger self esteem issues in relation to their looks. Women have to go through periods every month which obviously sucks. Women aren't taken as seriously in politics or any leadership position (although fuck hillary clinton).

There obvious a lot more smaller things, but all of those things can be extremely detrimental to your life. Feminists do overreact a lot, and they can come off as crazy and entitled and seem to want to constantly blame men for their problems, but they have a reason to be crazy. Life is difficult for women. Like, really difficult. Womens reasons why their lives are difficult is much different than men, but feminism still has a place in the first world.
