The reason why men have joined the military and not women is because of PATRIARCHY ( a system that US men created). We told women to stay home and take care of the children and don't lift a finger and us men are going to fight wars, work, open doors, buy you flowers, pay for everything and protect our families.

We created patriarchy so how can we be mad as men that a system that we created is biting us in the butt? That is why I don't get upset when women want to destroy patriarchy, because the destruction of patriarchy actually works in mens favor they just are too emotionally angry to see it.

The one thing i'll agree is the court systems are rigged in women's favor and hurt men constantly but then again the court system are rigged in white peoples favor and hurt people of color constantly. We need to find a way to make the court system fair all around because it definitely isn't.

Hehe yeah it's pretty silly. Afraid of change I guess. There is still this notion hanging around of what a real man should be, the sole provider and protector of his kids and wife. We could have a whole other thread about the male identity crisis. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/wired-success/201406/the-male-identity-crisis-and-the-decline-fatherhood Ironically women working more doesn't get fathers more involved in raising the kids, the opposite actually. Now is that because independent women don't want the father around, fathers don't want to be around independent women or without feeling needed it's not worth it to them?

And agreed about the justice system. Justice is only blind to its own prejudice.

 

It's more men not wanting to deal with "independent" women. As a man I can admit we have been indoctrinated with this patriarchy nonsense where we feel inadequate as men if women tell us "I don't want or need anything from you other than being my boyfriend or husband and working as equals". So a lot of men have been trying to instill patriarchy back by shaming and bashing women who want to destroy patriarchy. The hilarious thing about all of this is men don't realize if patriarchy is destroyed it actually HELPS men more than it helps women. Men will no longer have to always fit the "male patriarical role" of having to be financially stable, tough as nails, have no emotion, be able to support a family all while having 6 pack abs and looking like Channing Tatum or Odell Beckham to be valued. LOL

I'm a man but I strongly support femism because I see its benefits in not ony helping women become independent but it also allows men to actually be human beings instead of having to be Bruce Wayne in real life just to be valued in the patriarical system. Feminsm has been wrongfully bashed by us men relentlessly on the internet and it's extremely unfair.
