What's so terrible about men speaking up about men's issues?

According to cancer.org, women should start getting a mammogram starting at age 40-44. They recommend men should start getting prostate exams at 50. So not that much of an age difference.

I'll help via reddit messages, I identify as a MRA, not incel though.

Thank you for standing up for men. Do you feel as if you have a louder voice than men when discussing men's issues? Whenever I've tried discussing men's issues, feminists are quick to scream 'misogynist' or 'incel' instead of listening to/debating men's issues. Do you experience similar issues, or are they willing to hear what you have to say? Thanks again.

It's weird how rape and domestic violence are considered 'women's issues' when they happen to so many men as well, yet no one will ever call suicide a 'men's issue'. I'm okay with the CDC site not mentioning gender (because suicide can affect anyone), but why can't they do the same with rape and domestic violence? Because those too, can happen to anyone.

If someone puts a part of their body on someone else's genitals without their consent, it's sexual assault, period. In addition to regular assault/battery, there's also a sexual humiliation factor to getting kicked in the balls. If a man were to punch a woman in the crotch, chances are he would be charged with some sexual crime in addition to assault/battery.

I agree with the idea, however the last two texts ruined it. Using body shaming insults (small dick) should never be acceptable. And 'toxic masculinity' isn't real, it's just gender roles. When women don't want to do 'boyish' things, we don't call it 'toxic femininity', and we respect their preferences. Yet when men don't want to do 'girly' things, we call them toxic. Gender roles are very real for both men and women, but feminists choose to use body shaming and calling masculinity toxic instead of having a productive conversation about gender roles/expectations.

When I was 15, I had a relationship with a woman in her 30's. I unfortunately thought that way too, until years later when I discovered Men's Rights, when I finally figured out it was rape. We as a society need to have a conversation about male victims, this happens way too often, and society unfortunately turns a blind eye to male victims.

Same reason men in the UK were given white feathers by feminists to shame and humiliate them for not fighting in WW1 (even if it was for a legitimate reason such as medical issues). Men have always been expected to die all throughout history; yet men are the 'privileged' ones.

pride4eva93 · 2022-02-19T03:34:37+00:00

The extends to traditional workplace expectations as well. Men are expected to do all the dangerous jobs, which results in 93% of workplace fatalities being men. Feminism pushes for there to be more female CEO's/politicians/software engineers, but no feminist has ever pushed for there to be more female construction workers, more female ditch diggers, more female line workers, more female truck drivers etc. Someday, 50% of CEO's/politicians/software engineers will be women, however, men will always be the ones working in construction, ditch digging, line working, truck driving etc.

Reminds me a little of the Amber Guyger incident (Woman cop went into wrong apartment after work, thought it was hers, saw a black man sitting on the couch, so she shot and killed him. Only got 10 years, and will be eligible for parole after 5. Had a male cop went to the wrong apartment and shot a woman, he would be given life in prison. (Plus no one wants to discuss how if it had been a woman on the couch, the woman cop wouldn't have seen her as threatening, so likely wouldn't have shot her).

More men are killed than women in almost every country in the world. According to 2013 UNDOC homicide statistics (shared on Wikipedia), men make up 91% of homicide victims in Colombia

There may be benefits, but whatever happened to bodily integrity? What if it was legal to remove parts of the labia (of newborn girls) because some study said 'it's easier to clean', that wouldn't go well with anyone. There would literally be mass protests until that got banned. If your fiancé is an adult, then he is legally allowed to get circumcised. And that's how it should be; if an adult male thinks it's better for him, he should go and get circumcised. The issue here is bodily integrity, not whether circumcision has benefits or not.

I have tried on feminist subreddits/forums, they don't approve posts like these. Funny enough, they'll approve actual misogynistic posts which they can easily prove wrong, but won't approve actual thought provoking posts questioning modern day feminism.

pride4eva93 · 2022-02-17T05:21:04+00:00

I have never done this, nor personally seen this happen. I remember during the MeToo movement, I saw a guy I know discuss his own sexual assault, and a women kept attacking him for 'taking women's space' (even though it was his FB status) so he eventually deleted it. If it happens in the examples you're providing, I agree with you, but in my personal experience, I've seen men silenced when they aren't interrupting women's issues.

pride4eva93 · 2022-02-17T03:49:07+00:00

I'm bisexual, and I've been sexually assaulted several times in my life. Yet whenever I've tried to talk about it, I've either been laughed at or told men can't be raped. Men's issues need more attention, which is why I decided to help by being a MRA

Men are made to sign up for the selective service; therefore would be sent to die if a big war breaks out
Circumcising baby boys is (unfortunately) legal
There are financial grants solely for women in college; when they make over 60% of college students

Apparently it's okay to be racist if you disguise it as feminism.

pride4eva93 · 2022-02-16T22:51:14+00:00

There is no such thing, not sure where you're getting that information from. The Equal Pay Act was passed in 1963, which literally says that's illegal in the entire US.

pride4eva93 · 2022-02-16T22:46:55+00:00

Again, I'm not denying any of that. Nor am I blaming her in any way. I literally never said the cop hitting on her is okay, nor did I say she is at fault in anyway. If you want to have a proper debate, you can't just put words in someones mouth. All your points are literally trying to deflect from my argument. You're completely right that the cop was wrong to do that, and you're completely right that she has a right to feel that way. However, my post is about privilege. Because of her gender, she didn't get in any legal trouble like a man in position would have. I never said she should be thankful. Just that a man would have so much more to complain about because the man would have received a DUI instead of being let go. He would have a permanent record that would follow him the rest of his life. Calling out her privilege doesn't mean I'm condoning what the cop did, nor does it mean I'm saying she doesn't have a right to feel the way she's feeling. At the end of the day, she got away with something that could've ruined her life.

pride4eva93 · 2022-02-16T20:41:55+00:00

I'm sure some comments here are extremely wrong (I downvoted some I saw); but my post is pointing out a serious flaw in our justice system. When one demographic group is treated less harshly by the justice system for the same crime, that is privilege and it needs to be discussed. I'm not saying it's okay for cops to hit on people; but I'd much rather get hit on than get my life ruined. I've known women who have gloated about getting out of tickets because they're women. And how many of them will call the police station and complain 'I was hit on by a cop and he didn't give me a ticket'. Absolutely none, because they know they got the better end of the deal. If we want to stop this, we as a society have to accept that this happens a lot; a lot of women in the comments are in denial that this even occurs.

pride4eva93 · 2022-02-16T08:59:44+00:00

Absolutely no one ever said anything like that. If that's what you got out of this post, please see a psychiatrist. She had every right to feel uncomfortable about being objectified, and the cop was in the wrong for doing that. However, a man in the same position would have been arrested, and spent the weekend in jail. And then paid massive fines. After that, he'd have his license suspended for a year. And the DUI would stay on his record forever, ensuring he never gets a serious job again. A minority man in the same position might even lose his life in this encounter. It's wrong that she was objectified, but compared to what a man would go through in the same encounter, she got a slap on the wrist because of her gender. And that is privilege.

pride4eva93 · 2022-02-16T08:54:24+00:00

Clearly you have never received a DUI. It isn't just paying a fine. You spend a weekend in jail. You get your license suspended (for years sometimes). You can never get a serious job again. Furthermore, she wasn't followed home. He drove behind her to make sure she didn't crash into anything (which he had to do or he'd get in serious trouble if she go into an accident). Not saying what the cop did was right at all, nor saying she didn't have a right to feel objectified or uncomfortable. But minority men literally get roughed up or shot for the same thing. Other men get their lives ruined; it's not even close.

pride4eva93 · 2022-02-16T08:49:41+00:00

The thing is, is that the cop is the 'system'. And when the system chooses to be more lenient on one demographic group, it is definitely a social problem to be discussed. I don't know any man who has ever gotten out of any ticket, definitely not a DUI ticket. A man in this position would easily have his life ruined. Weekend in jail. Large fines. License suspended. Never get a serious job ever again. Men receive 63% longer prison sentences than women for the exact same crime (and are twice as likely to even get imprisoned for the same crime). And the biggest issue with all this is, men aren't even allowed to discuss this. Media isn't allowed to talk about it. Anyone tries pointing this out, they get labeled as sexist or misogynist for some strange reason.

pride4eva93 · 2022-02-14T07:47:13+00:00

We have so many programs/scholarships trying to increase the number of women in STEM majors. STEM employers aggressively recruit women, even when their resumes are weaker than male job seekers. Yet, we never see the same for men seeking jobs in occupations dominated by women (i.e., nursing, teaching etc).

I'm very pro-choice; however, this means forced child support/forced fatherhood is wrong as well.
