A UK Member of Parliament recently suggested that there should be a Government minister for men which would presumably do similar things to the existsing minister for Women.
This has thrown up a series of heated discussions on social media about whether this is part of the 'backlash' against feminsm, or whether there is a legitimate need for wider support of men's issues.
As a man who believes that there are legitimate issues disproportionately affecting men which should be addressed, what I really want help in understanding is the opinion that men don't need any targetted support.
I don't want to start a big argument, but I do want to understand this perspective, because I have struggled to understand it before and I don't like feeling like I'm missing something.
This entire gender discussion is just to engage people and make them care about politics.
No different than social media algorithms designed to make people angry so they engage.
Keeps the peasants fighting and arguing about pointless things. My advice to people in this thread is to ask yourself if the rich owners actually cares about your gender and what they can do to make you feel better.
"Pointless"? Really? What doesn't affect you directly is "pointless"?
I assume you're aware that people can care about more than one thing at the time.
Otherwise, nobody could do anything until the hunger of children in Africa is totally erradicated, right?
