Men are 97% of combat fatalities
Men are more likely to become alcoholic and drug addicted
Men pay 97% of alimony
Men make up 94% of workplace suicides
Men make up 93% of workplace fatalities
Men are 81% of all war-related deaths
Men lose custody of their children in 84% of divorce cases
80% of all suicides are men
77% of homicide victims are men
Men are 165% more likely to be convicted than women
Men receive 63% longer prision sentences compared to women for the same crimes
Court bias against men is at least 6 times stronger than racial bias
A man is vastly more likely to be homeless than a woman, with men constituting 60–80% of that group
Women’s cancers receive vastly (up to 15 times) more funding than men’s cancers
At least 10% of fathers are victims of paternity fraud
Roughly 1 in 3 US fathers have lost custody of their children
The Duluth model assumes men to be the perpetrators of domestic abuse, despite hard evidence showing that women instigate just as often, if not more so than men.
The number of shelters for male victims of abuse is functionally zero
Men have to overcome soft discrimination, in the form of quotas, when seeking work/education opportunities
Men have no feasible way of opting out of being a parent. Women can abort the child if they so choose (and there are several other options as well), men have no such option
A man raped by a woman can be forced to pay child support if the rapist becomes pregnant as a result
Male victims of rape are often mocked and ridiculed
Men’s lives are prioritized last in any emergency situation
Nearly zero modern mental health and psychological aid practices are designed with helping men in mind
Men are expected to ask women out, select the venue, secure transportation to and from, pay for the whole experience, etc
There are more women in college than men. Despite this, there are still female exclusive scholarships designed with the intention of getting yet more women into higher education at the expense of men
Young women are paid more than young men
Women have mainstream, widespread social movements to tackle female exclusive issues. The male equivalent is consistently shut down, freely labeled as misygonists, and has little to no mainstream support
It is hard-wired into the biology of all humans to think of women as being inherently better (see the “Women are wonderful” effect)
Society views nothing as being more expendable than a young man
Do women have it harder? Hell no. Do they absolutely have certain legitimate issues? Hell yes.
But let loose in the comments. Tell me how tough it is to be seen as the more valuable sex by society at large.
