dontjudgemeimscared-blog asked: victims of abuse. And despite this domestic shelters very rarely if ever accept male abuse victim. There has also in addition been nothing to address the rather vast gap between the male and female lifespan or men's extremely high suicide rate. This causes some concerns about the movement, while feminism may help men in the long run their hasnt been much proof that these issues are being addressed or acknowledged. Which is problematic in the least. (end)

Except there ARE domestic abuse shelters for men or at least unisex ones. If you’re referring to an incident where a MRA attempted to call such a shelter and demand admittance, the story was warped from what ACTUALLY happened to make it seem like “Oh, they just flat out refused because I was a man!” instead of what really happened, which was calmly explaining where they could go instead and offering them a phone number.

And in the case of suicide rate, it depends on the reasons for suicide, but if you want to argue that it’s about gender-related assumptions of life, masculinity, and depression, then I refer you to my earlier remarks: the patriarchy hurts EVERYONE.

And when it comes to the issue of them not being “addressed or acknowledged by feminists,” it’s because it’s still believed that the root cause of a lot of this is gender-based descrimination and assumptions of men and women’s roles in society and thus solving such things and ending gender inequality is a way to solve many such problems.

And whenever a conversation is had on a subject, ENEMIES of feminism or equality tend to get into the conversation by going, “But what about ________ with men?” It’s used as a DERAILING tactic to make it about men exclusively.
