    Not really. There’s many areas that women do have it better. Sociologist have started to label it even. They’re called the lost boys. A generation of boys who for one reason or another have failed to move onto post secondary education. Education in our society is something that increases our chances of success in life. But right now post education is filled with women. They believe the push to get women in schools was successful but nobody put the same effort into the boys. STEM careers and other post secondary streams were advertised to women and the boys were forgotten. Can’t tell me that those boys are not now feeling that pressure with having reduced social and capital mobility as a whole. It’s just one example of how women do not have it “much worse” today then men.

      One supposed generation of boys compared to every generation of women isn’t the flex you think it is. Only 35% of women in STEM careers and that drops to 24% for engineers. Management in STEM field is even worse. Looks like the guys still have a competitive advantage despite all the female hype you claim eliminated their chances.

      In the US in particular you see extreme limits on bodily autonomy. A health system that delivers worse results for women. Hell, the states never even ratified an equal rights amendment for women. Things are still very bad for women and that is not even getting into partner abuse or topics like rape.

      I can’t help but feel these manosphere fucks pushing the false narratives are filling young men’s heads full of garbage. Blaming others is never a good look, but they can’t help it because it works and they are charlatans.

        Things are still very bad for women and that is not even getting into partner abuse

        Did you know that in nonreciprocally violent heterosexual relationships (i.e. only one of the two partners is violent), women are the perpetrators over 70% of the time? Yet, domestic violence is most often treated like a thing with only male perpetrators and female victims.

        or topics like rape.

        The narrative is such that the public consciousness is so skewed that you’re not aware that women rape men as much as men rape women, are you? Successful feminist lobbying (primarily attributed to Mary Koss) to call the rape of a man by a woman something other than “rape” so that female rapists can ‘fly under the radar’ on “rape statistics” is the primary reason this is so uncommonly known.

        If you think underreporting and a lack of justice is bad for female victims of male rapists, your head will explode if you objectively look at the respective rates for male victims of female rapists.

        It’s bad for both sexes, but it is literally objectively worse for males. Your ignorance of this subject just proves how wide the empathy gap really is.

        The Innocent Project, is all about getting wrongfully convicted people out of prison. Check out the linked list, filter it for “sex crimes” if you likes, look at the years and decades of wrongfully-served prison time, then see if you can find any women.

        There are no cases of a man molesting a girl and then successfully gaining both legal custody of the child, and legally-awarded child support - from the child he molested. But reverse the genders, and precisely that has happened.


        This constant trivialization/erasure of male suffering just makes it clear how little people like you actually care about equality. Anyone truly seeking equality would be equally outraged about injustices suffered by both sexes.
