There are valid men’s rights issues though: circumcision, male only conscription, paternity fraud, police brutality against Black men, etc.

it can be real in a technical sense it just ain’t of a comparable severity to other kinds of discrimination

99% if not 100% of men’s rights issues are problems that exist because of misogyny

Plus in certain places men can’t report something as rape unless they were the ones penetrating or being forced to penetrate

And yet, these issues aren’t really examples of ‘misandry’. They’re consequences of the patriarchy. The first is a result of religious imperialism. And I swear circumcision is talked about ten times as often as FGM. And police brutality against black men is an issue with systemic racism.

these aren't projected onto men by a matriarchal society so these aren't misandrist at all. they're real issues caused by men FOR men.

The police abuse black men because they’re black not because they’re men, and ngl the rest of that list kinda just sounds like filler

yeah but there’s def an intersectionality of identities there bc black men specifically are demonized in a unique way

Yes, but men are most often the victims of the racist targeting by police. Implicit and conscious bias sees Black men as a threat. Definitely still cognizant that systemic racism by police also affects women though.

They don’t seem to have any problem harassing black women either, I don’t think them being men makes nearly as much of a difference

well like if you look at the raw numbers it does—i don’t think anyone is saying black women don’t experience police brutality but black men have been particularly demonized and persecuted by that system i feel like that’s undeniable
