The fact that you wouldn't be taken seriously is exactly the problem that men face in society.
Quote: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.
The fact that she would have been taken more seriously than you is exactly the problem that men face in society.
Quote: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.
Again, do your research. It's not "a couple of things", and even if it was, it shouldn't matter. The fact that there is any discrimination against men in society is bad. Just because women face worse discrimination doesn't mean we should just ignore the discrimination faced by men or put it off to a later date, we can fix multiple issues at the same time.
Quote:But to top it all off? The discrimination against men is caused by sexism towards women! The reason why men aren't taken seriously is because they're supposed to be a 'man' because of sexist society.
That's not sexism towards women dude, that's sexism towards men.
Quote: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'.
...then that's sexist towards both men and women simultaneously.
Quote: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 not by sexism against men.
I don't think the solution is as simple as you seem to think it is.
