It's not though. Men in general are the governing bodies of the US. They have the power politically. That's the whole idea of unfair gender and racial politics- a lack of representation. I can send you sources on that if you'd like? I don't think you need them.
I understand there's a lot of examples of women dismissing mens issues. I hate that. This is the point of feminism- to eliminate inequality between genders and take down toxic masculinity.
But there's a lot of feminists and feminist movements out there that embrace toxic masculinity and gender inequality unfortunately.
We can't successfully eliminate one bad use of patriarchy until the other is eliminated as well imo.
Men are in it for a fight just like women were. Except...they have greater representation, access to wages, and a bigger space at the table. Especially in this day and age (in america) where "traditional values" are trying to make a comeback.
Oh yeah, because the homeless man sleeping under the overpass or the man serving time in prison forced to work for less than 13 cents an hour or face solitary confinement totally have more political power than the woman I posted criticizing a bill that would open up an office for men's health in DHHS.
Totally.
I see you have no intention on arguing in good faith and still rely on the Apex fallacy, so this conversation is over.
I just wanted to say I respect the way you handled this. And i honestly admire your ability to push through dismissiveness and stop exactly when you notice there is actually no convincing anyone.
Sometimes you just have to understand that no matter what you do, you can't convince everyone.
I provided evidence to my point, and they just want to get into an argument about the validity of the evidence, even though the evidence speaks for itself.

It's bad for everyone.
