There are some pretty serious men's issues: On average, men are on worse health than women and die significantly earlier. Partly because they're less likely to seek treatment for seemingly minor medical conditions (esp. mental disorders) which comes to bite men in the ass when they turn out not to be so minor after all. Men hold most of the unhealthiest and most dangerous jobs, which means higher rates of workplace related disease, injury and death. Men manage to make about 80% of murder victims in the US... But that's largely man-on-man murder. Quite clearly,
NONE of these things are
feminism's fault. They're actually rooted on patriarchy, of all things.
Bullshit notions of toxic stiff-upper-lip masculinity keep men from seeking treatment for seemingly minor problems. When it comes to men having the deadly jobs, turns out sexist men have tried their damnedest best to keep women out their job niches on the excuse that these jobs are too dangerous.
, macho bullshit at work yet again. Feminism isn't at fault for
any of this. Sure, family debts, child support and alimony can seriously screw a working class or lower middle class man in divorce court... But that's not feminism's fault either! It's actually conservatives' fault. Conservatives don't want the State to subsidize single-parent households, so the child support and alimony burden falls squarely on the noncustodial parent, which is typically a man
because of patriarchy.
It's not that men's issues don't exist, but the MRAs are worse than useless when it comes to address them. They can't correctly identify the problem (patriarchy, conservatism, capitalism) because they're a bunch of conservative mysoginist assholes. They support patriarchy and endorse the bullshit macho culture that's at the root of most of men's own problems. Stands to reason that if incomes were more equal male divorcees would owe less alimony, and they would owe less child support if part of it was subsidized by the State. Men have worse school dropout rates, but rather than supporting policies that would allow working class boys not to drop out they choose to bitch and whine about the educational accomplishments of women. That's a consistent pattern here: Some of the issues affecting men can be addressed constructively with progressive politics, but that would get in the way of MRAs' excuses to whine about women and be pathetic chauvinist losers.
