What parts of life do you wish to be equal in?

Are you willing to take a pay drop so that men are equal to women?

Are you willing to give up your ability to go out for a walk at midnight/2am without feeling scared?

Are you willing to take a year (minimum) to take care of your child and be the person that is called every damn time something goes wrong, because its 'expected'?

No, but in the big scheme of things, it's an awful lot easier being a guy.

Men are no longer expected to fit into specific macho roles, and are rarely discriminated against or judged purely on what they chose to wear that day.

I do not agree with the bit about child care to be honest. This is somthing that is already in place and Many men share the the impact / burden of having a child ( I prefer to call it the privilege ).

That's true. Women largely don't pay maintenance because they will have their kids the majority of the time. Men however, owe millions of unpaid maintenance. The Child Maintenance Service did have some stats I think.

There are of course unfair inequalities on both sides (if that makes sense), there are men who would love to be a part of their kids lives but are prevented from it. You only have to see some of the above posts to see some of the conscious / uncon*cious bias. On both sides. It may be a frivolous post but there is a sensible discussion to be had.

I think you should be careful how you express this. I do agree with you that there are some areas where the treatment of men is worse than women (for example genital mutilation is rightly illegal on girls but boys are seen as fair game; men's access to their children in divorces; only men are ever conscripted to fight wars). But never lose site of the inequality men have put upon women for centuries. You should still acknowledge that.

This. It's interesting to note how some people take sides automatically and become instantly aggressive or dismissive towards the other side. There's no doubt that women suffer some horrendous issues but men do too. Single men are the last to get housed and form the vast majority of the homeless, they die earlier too, are far more likely to get murdered or kill themselves and there are very few services dedicated specifically to their needs. How about we just accept that both sexes face significant, if different, societal unfairnesses and negative stereotypes and try to deal with them rather than play gender Top Trumps?

"It's just an interesting debate that I think should be had not stirring any pot "

But you're not debating anything. Your just making unfounded statements and telling people to get a life.

"There are of course unfair inequalities on both sides (if that makes sense), there are men who would love to be a part of their kids lives but are prevented from it. You only have to see some of the above posts to see some of the conscious / uncon*cious bias. On both sides. It may be a frivolous post but there is a sensible discussion to be had.

This. It's interesting to note how some people take sides automatically and become instantly aggressive or dismissive towards the other side. There's no doubt that women suffer some horrendous issues but men do too.

I worked for many years in homelessness. Men are more likely to become street homeless but the opportunities for rehousing single women in suitable accommodation, is actually lower.

I agree that there are inequalities for both sexes. However, overall the scales are heavily weighted towards men. Especially on a global scale.

"Men are not equal on subjects like child care , divorce rights , who do men get longer prison sentences then women for the same crime that's just 3

How are men not equal on childcare? In what sense? And same for divorce rights - rights to what in a divorce? Be more specific please.

Pointing to research that women actually receive longer prison sentences for homicide in the US - https://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2019/jan/12/intimate-partner-violence-gender-gap-cyntoia-brown

And a paper analysing gender differences in sentencing https://crimsoc.hull.ac.uk/2020/06/18/gender-differences-and-sentencing/

Interesting reading.

I also note there's no response from the OP as yet.

Yes, still no response. Almost as though he was trolling. Ah, well. "

I'm not trying to defend the OP here. But I've looked at the gender paper cited and it seems to point to many papers that show leniancy

"It's seems nuanced and not clear cut either way

It can be shown that a large body of work, in which I reviewed, shows a pattern that supports the idea that women are shown more leniency when it comes to sentencing. Yet are judged more harshly sometimes then men when other factors contribute that could break the traditional gender roles and traditional gender stereotypes such as committing violent crime, as opposed to non-violent crime."

(For clarity, I believe we have equal rights. But society still has different expectations which come through in some areas.)

In the UK, we are incredibly lucky that equal opportunities and rights are there, even if getting to true equality is still some way off.

However, in far too much of the world, women are second class citizens at best and possessions at worst.

I think it is of deep concern that women who have murdered an intimate partner are so often given heavier sentences than men. And the media descriptions of such crimes are so often weighted towards men ("he was a nice guy" etc).

I do genuinely enjoy debate, and others seemed interested in that, if not the OP. I always have something to learn.

The "kind of abuse" is mentioned if you care to read about it - available in detail for every case brought to court in Western countries at least. A couple of examples. Makes difficult reading.
