Men Are Discriminated Against In Society Too

Before I start, let me just say that this doesn't apply to all cultures and countries. In the country I live in, women still don't have rights over their own body and there's still quite a bit of misogyny in society. However, the below points regarding the discrimination against men still stand, but I will point out that women do have it pretty hard here too.
 
 * * *

Contrary to the beliefs of some, males aren't more privileged than women (at least in the more developed countries).
Or, if you'd rather, there are benefits to both being male and being female. 

To claim that all males have "privilege" is simply untrue. Women have many advantages over men and the discrimination of men and males is still rather problematic in society.

I thought I'd make a journal that people can refer back to and use if trying to debate any 'feminazis', 'SJWs' or other idiots who want to claim that men are somehow more privileged.


- Parental custody rights favour women over men. (www.avoiceformen.com/the-facts…)

- More money is pumped into breast cancer, a predominantly female disease, when prostate cancer (which has a similar death rate proportionally to men as breast cancer is to women) sees far less the amount of funding. (mjperry.blogspot.com/2009/08/g…)

- There are far more counselling services and support services for women than men (for example when it comes to domestic abuse centres, they're predominantly for women and there's barely any male ones in comparison).

- As a result 94% of work suicides and 80% of suicides are men, and men are more likely to commit suicidewww.suicide.org/suicide-statis….

- You're far more likely to be attacked and killed if you're a man. When it comes to homicide attacks 77% of the victims are male.

- Males are discriminated against in school and university. (web.archive.org/web/2014042516…)

- There isn't a wage gap. That's a blatant myth.

Legally men and women are equal. Men earn 61.5% of all income but only account for 25% of domestic spending. Men only spend 40% of what they earn after tax. In contrast women make up 38.5% of all income but control 75% of domestic spending, women on average spend 90% MORE MONEY THAN THEY EARN. Men are exploited as cash machines and even with spending on children accounted for women still spend more money on themselves than the combined spending for men and children. This can even be observed in the floor space allocated to women's products in most shopping centres.

89% of men will be a victim of violent crime in their lifetime.

- Men are 165% more likely to be arrested and convicted than women.

- Men receive longer prison sentences 63% of the time.

- Courts are extremely biased against men. (www.law.umich.edu/newsandinfo/…)


I'd like to both give credit to this site and recommend it: www.realsexism.com. Much of this journal is quotes from them, as they can say things far better than I can. I think it'd be great if they were more neutral and covered the issues of both the sexes, but they certainly serve to give the male side of things which people often forget about or overlook. :)

But "baaawww man tears". 

Poor women have to do all of the cleaning! While men only have to climb the hoof to repair it.... But it's okay, dangerous or difficult things are "man's job" anyway.
Poor women had to work very hard during the war! Yeah. Do I even have to mention what men had to face during wars ?
If mommy want to leave with the kid, she leaves with the kid. Daddy has nothing to say, he can't have his kids, he can just pay the custody.
Women ARE indeed paid less than men. Because they leave work at 4pm to pick the kids at school while men stay at work until 6pm, but eh.
Cleaning ladies are ALWAYS women!! It's even in the name!! How discriminatory! Okay binmen are always men but hey, it's a man job !
Women are not allowed to wear whatever they want!! They can wear either male or female clothes, they can wear skirts or trousers, they can wear girly or manly tops, BUT they are not allowed to show their ass in public, how rude!! While men can wear WHATEVER they want!! Except skirts, dresses, girly tops, heeled shoes, ballet shoes, pink stuff, make-up, jewellery, pantyhoses, etc, BUT they can wear whatever they want without anyone saying anything about it, can't they ?
Girls can play with car toys. But a boy playing with a Barbie? Eww!

Also, men can have breast cancer too. But who cares.
