Female Privilege and Male Oppression

[Rational Agnostic]

For those of you who insist that males have it so much better than females in society, perhaps you should consider these statistics. Source: RealSexism.com

Males are 97% of combat fatalities.
Males pay 97% of alimony.
Males make 94% of work suicides.
Males make up 93% of work-related fatalities.
Males make up 81% of war deaths.
Males lose custody in 84% of divorces.
Males commit 80% of suicides.
Males account for 77% of homicide victims.
89% of males will be the victim of at least one violent crime.
Males are 165% more likely to be convicted than females.
Males get 63% longer sentences than women for the same crimes.

Am I saying that females aren't oppressed? Of course not. Both genders face difficulties, although I would argue that as a whole, the difficulties and oppression faced by men are greater than those faced by women. Do I have a solution? Not necessarily, but perhaps all you woke feminists could start by not referring to all men as trash.

Adding to the above, male life expectancy is 5 years less than for females.

Life expectancy in the USA hits a record high

The above is just info.

That seems rather combative and unrelated to the first portion of your post. Do you think RF feminists call men trash?

If men are oppressed, it's by other men and cultural concepts of masculinity. Feminists agree that patriarchy harms men, too.

I don't know, but it's a popular hashtag among many of the Twitter feminists, including one popular Twitter feminist who said she doesn't care if innocent men's lives get ruined by false accusations of sexual harassment.

I agree with you that it is primarily males who oppress other males, and not females oppressing males. The point that men are oppressed still stands however.

It's difficult go get a discussion going when the OP addresses feminists (extreme ones) who aren't here.

Oppression - the state of being subject to unjust treatment or control

Men and women have a different definition of Unjust.

Some do. but some as male RF posters insist upon it. I equate it to linguistic sadomasochism nerd style. Sex really isn't relevant!!!

Recent forum gathering. See how happy they are!!!

Strange looking things we are, eh.

 

[Curious George]

Some do.

Please point out where.

I have not seen evidence that would suggest that men have happier easier lives than women on average

 

[Orbit]

Perhaps you should go engage on twitter or wherever those fringe feminists are, because they're not on RF.

I'll add that individual variation greatly trumps group trends.
Just compare @Shadow Wolf & me....
She's facing great trials, while I just coast thru life phat, dumb & happy.

Just shows that, even sexually, men are invaders.

What? How did you get that from that?

Some of us have risen above that.
For me it was touch & go for a while....I was
prepared to act illegally to avoid invading Viet Nam.

I hear ya. I enlisted in the Navy so I wasn't drafted into front line killings.

Testosterone= aggression. When wisdom is absent.

Dare anyone speculate what estrogen equals when wisdom is lacking?

Both have their downsides and upsides. I'm not jealous of women, I just think lots of countries neglect giving boys positive models in education or culture and fail to play to their strengths.
