  1. While national crime statistics vary by nation, in the west males are overwhelmingly the victims of violent crime. The odds of being a victim of violent crime as a man are about 4 times more likely than as a woman, whether that be armed robbery, assault or murder. But if you try and search for violent crime statistics by gender you get page after page of search results pushing that women are the victims of SA before you can even get to any other data. The narrative is completely broken because people won't drill down far enough into it. Sexual assault and domestic violence are the only crimes which have women as majority victims, and while the sexual assault numbers are very high (something like 9:1 female to male victims) even the domestic violence numbers are more like 4:3.

  2. ​ @MrEmafon4 i'd pick the one who valued me and treated me with respect regardless their income. And that in a nutshell is where men and women are different.

  4. The simple fact is what is being promoted as "gender equality" is not equality at all. In most of the Western World, legal gender equality happened decades ago. Examples: Canada and the USA introduced their Equal Pay Acts in 1963. Australia in 1969. The United Kingdom in 1970 and so on. Whole there was some lag in societal expectations, the legal groundwork for equality was introduced entire working lifespans ago. But equal opportnity is not equal outcomes, because people have free will. So when people continued to choose jobs based on what they value or enjoy instead of the economic value of that work, wage gaps continued, because women choosing a safer, more social and comfortable job and men choosing longer working hours, more dangerous, more physically demanding jobs continues to be a thing. When feminists saw that the outcomes hadn't greatly changed they demanded more intervention, more resources dedicated to women and more rights, rather than addressing why women didn't want to work 60 hour weeks, or socially isolating jobs. Men have seen this happen again and again ovef thd past decades and now know that the current social model is stacked against us. We watch as news and social media have turned public manshaming and misandry into public policy. Thus our political opinions begin to change, from being initially progressive, to voting in our own selfinterest, which means to vote against political parties and ousting governments which are actively harming our future. People blame Andrew T*te, but he's just a symptom of a system that has become unbalanced and unfair. Unless true equality begins to be sought in education, in healthcare, in judicial outcomes, in government spending, in industrial relations, then the backlash will continue to grow and more and more extremist leaders will be voted by disenfranchised men. Historically this doesn't lead to great outcomes for anyone, and we're already seeing an increase in armed conflict and international posturing. I don't see the feminist movement taking a reality check any time soon, so the likelihood is that Roe v Wade being overturned and the Russia v Ukraine conflict is just the beginning.
