RE: How about the problems men face in the society?

in #life7 years ago

Upvoted! Awesome insights - I'm just curious what inspired you to write this post...how did you think of the topic on "masculinism", for lack of a better word..? I've often thought about this myself since I have a few close friends who consider themselves strong feminists (which I think is great by the way) and often advocate their views.

On the flip side though, being a man is something that is rarely if ever discussed - at least in US society - through the lens of potential inequality. Definitely something that should be promoted, since it's different although no less important than being aware of feminine issues and rights.

Sort:  

There are agencies devoted to the welfare of women and children. Why can't we have agencies devoted to the welfare of men? Even men avoid the topic, for fear of being considered chauvinists.

I second that! Although to be fair, there are definitely more violent crimes committed against women than men, but it still does happen... and not only violent crimes, but more psychological (ie, bullying, mobbing) as well.

Yes, more crimes are committed against women than men but it is like that in an hypothetical case of nation A and nation B. If members of nation A are harming members of nation B and vice versa, will we say that the fact that members from nation A are being affected the most implies that we should only help members of group A and leave group B members to their own fate?

Yep, makes sense.. good analogy, totally agree, you're preaching to the choir here lol.
