iactuallythink:

“misandry does nothing more than hurt feelings!” meanwhile: -dozens of infant boys die from botched circumcisions -honest men lose jobs and go to jail from child custody biases -the definition of “rapist” is actively in the works of getting changed so that literally only a man can be a rapist (even successful in some other countries) -men are driven to successful suicide nearly 4x as often as women -prostate cancer kills nearly as many men as breast cancer does women, with practically none of the attention or care. Educate yourself about actual men’s issues before you degrade them all to “stupid neckbeard fedora crying over the friend zone lol”

WOAH WOAH HOLD UP HERE

These are all very legitimate issues that affect men, but it’s not about “misandry” or “mens rights”. All of these issues are actually due to misogyny and patriarchy!

-circumcision is a big issue but stating that it only affects men is pretty cissexist! circumcision affects people of all genders! “female” circumcision is also a very big issue in developing countries and has a traumatic and lasting effect on people with vaginas. circumcision is an issue that many feminists involve themselves in and it is definitely being addressed.

-custody issues are completely based on the idea that a woman is better at taking care of children than a man is which is very misogynistic and is an issue of the patriarchy which we are trying very hard to fix

-men are considered the “only rapists” because claims of women raping are dismissed because women are “emotional and could never rape someone”, men are considered emotionless and animalistic because of the patriarchy!!

-this isn’t fact, but i’m guessing that men are more likely to commit suicide because their depression isn’t taken seriously because they’re too emotionless to be sad. women are considered overemotional so their suicidal threats would be taken more seriously. many men hide their depression because feeling is a “feminine” trait (patriarchy)

-attention is only drawn to breast cancer because it is objectified to the point of only being important because SAVE THE BOOBS, boobs are considered the only important part of a woman. if you would rather us completely objectify and exploit your prostate then i don’t even know what to say to you (this is also a cissexist point of view, not all men have prostates/ not all women have boobs)

I hope this explains to anyone reblogging this post why it is actually complete bullshit!!
