Men have problems. Women have problems. Men and women are people. People should matter equally.

Now why is that so hard to understand? Feminists are quick to counter any mention of men's issues with "b-but male privilege!" As if that diminishes the severity of men's issues, including:

-high suicide rates
-low access to domestic violence shelters
-increasing numbers of high school and university dropouts
-prostate cancer
-overwhelming majority of the homeless population
-longer prison sentences
-anti-male bias in family and divorce courts
-huge majority of workplace deaths
-majority of veterans suffering from PTSD
-and much, much more.

Does "male privilege" make those problems go away? Do they not matter just because women have problems, too, which feminists deem automatically worse because 'patriarchy'? Screaming "privilege" doesn't help the veteran about to kill himself because the family courts took his children from him. Screaming "privilege" just lets feminists get away with ignoring him.

And even if privilege did negate people's problems, most of the feminists screaming 'privilege' should just shut up because they're white and have "white privilege" and black people have it worse.

Yes, I know, "intersectionality," "power politics," "oppression of women," other buzzwords yada yada yada. But feminists crashing conferences about the male suicide epidemic, shutting down shelters for men, and throwing a hissy fit when a Men and Boys focus team is proposed to address dropout rates isn't helping anyone at all.

And no, you can't just blame it on the "patriarchy."

If you block me, I'm hiding your comments.
