Many men can barely afford to live, let alone even think of the joys of previous generations such as home ownership, having a family, or travelling.

Ahh yes, because houses are cheaper for women, obviously. /s

This has nothing to do with the person being a man or woman.

Meanwhile the news is full of victory after victory for women, so of course they’re going to support the status quo more.

That "victory after victory" is in large part just women catching up to existing men's rights.

Remember that woman who murdered her husband and got probation for it? She stabbed him 100+ times! It happened like a week ago too. I'd consider that a win for women being able to murder people, a loss for men, and a loss for that judge.

Exactly. More lenient sentencing is definitely part of female privilege.

Oh wait, no, I mean part of the horrible misogynist practice of "putting women on a pedestal", of course. Gotta make sure that we frame all of the privilege that being a woman brings as actually just more evidence of how bad men are!

Just today there was a story on the front page of a male domestic abuse survivor who tried to start up a shelter for men, who eventually killed himself because he got treated like shit for it.

Now compare that to resources allocated for women victims of domestic abuse.

1 in 4 women are victims of it, while 1 in 6 men are so its not like its not a huge issue for us either. We went from a society that didnt treat abuse as an issue for anyone to one that has, yet having nothing to support us is “catching up” in your books?
