    Pointing out gender-related issues is not a “gender war”. Discussing someone else’s issues is not an attack on you.

      Putting the gender-related issues into a meme with a “if this affected men then there would be more funding” doesn’t feel like discussing issues and more like “gender war”.

        Taking “this issue involving women is not taken as seriously” as an attack on men or a “gender war” is a you problem.

          “Not taken as serious” vs “not taken serious”. The former implies that medical conditions affecting primarily men are taken more serious. I’m honestly not sure there are any medical conditions that mostly affect men which are taken more serious than medical conditions which mostly affect women.

            Have you looked at any studies to determine if this is the case or not?

        How often do you see women come on to a Lemmy thread about men’s issues and try to make about women’s issues?

          I’m new to lemmy, but at least on reddit it happened pretty much any time people tried talking about men’s issues
