I agree with you semantically. While I don't believe men have as many problems with equality as women, I don't think any individual problems are more important than others intrinsically or because of the gender of the person having a problem.

I'm talking about on a large scale like women do, I'm not talking about the odd man-hating mad woman.
I'm sure there's white people who suffer discrimination from black people too. But we don't exactly need a "white lives matter" movement.
These MRA incels need to get some fucking perspective.
You've clearly never spent any time in probate court.
I guess I can think of ONE example. My ex was violent to me but I had to just deal with it because I wouldn't be taken seriously and if she lied and said I'd hit her it would have been taken very seriously. And she only hit me once and it wasn't too bad so meh.
The emotional abuse was worse but she was the one who could turn her tears on just because she didn't get her way even though she was the one mistreating me, and I'm sure she'd have been taken more seriously than me.
But other than that and perhaps some child custody issues. That's about it. My point is it's nothing in comparison to the ubiquitous discrimination against women. There's like a couple of things with men and that's it.
But to top it all off? The discrimination against men is caused by sexism towards women! The reason why men aren't taken seriously when women abuse them is because they're supposed to be a 'man' because of a society that's sexist against women. And the reason why men have harder times with child custody sometimes is because of the sexist stereotype against women that women are more suited to taking care of the children while men do the 'real work'.
So basically, get rid of the sexism against women and you'll solve both problems. Even the discrimination against men is caused by sexism against women. It's not caused by sexism against men.
The TLDR: Feminism will solve both problems.
