Are you OK now ? "I’m fine now thanks. Just need to rebuild my fitness. Few scans to come but I’m sure no lasting damage. Initial diagnosis was scary “you are at imminent risk of heart failure, do not leave we will get an ambulance “. Two hours of shitting myself (metaphorically) waiting for an ambulance that never arrived, so arranged to be driven to hospital. The correct diagnosis was a large blood clot stressing my heart. | |||

" Well ill try to keep it brief, sure women have a hard time too but the worst thing we can do is resort to playground behaviour "nuh-uh we got it worse!", its not about who has it worse than who. I dont understand why ppl are so quick to agree that its bad to try compare whos mental health is worse, and say that it doesnt matter as its all important to the individual. So why is the same principle not being applied to gender equality, or rather inequality? Men are sexualised just as much as women, gym fanatics experiencing body dysphoria and resorting to the use of steroids causing health problems, all in the pursuit of vanity because big muscular men is somehow only form considered to be sexy for a man. The disregard for mens mental well being, suicide is the biggest killer of men under 45. A man shows his weaker vulnerable side and ppl say "oh man up"... like no! Fuck off! Just cos hes a man doesnt mean hes not allowed to get emotional. Dont devalue his feelings and emotions and tell him to man up, and both men and women are guilty of doing that. And lets not forget abuse. Im a victim of domestic abuse during a 4 year relationship with my ex. After going through a domestic abuse support group i got to see the uglier side of gender inequality. A woman who had brutally beaten her boyfriend, leaving him disfigured and disabled with many life changing injuries... 6 years! She got 6 years. Now ask yourself, if the roles were reversed and a man did that to a woman, do you think 6 years would be enough? And the worst part was that woman was treated with more dignity than most other men who have been arrested for assaulting and committing GBH to women. | |||

You are right of course but if you look at the big picture and historically, all inequality is rooted in the inequality of women - male dominated gods, wars, capitalism, politics etc , which is why for me, the biggest pressing issue isn’t men’s, mental health or trans , it’s women’s equality. Fix that and we begin to create a better future, why ? Because once women have true equality they will fix everything else. | |||

Fix that and we begin to create a better future, why ? Because once women have true equality they will fix everything else. " Well obviously its been male dominated as we wouldnt have inequality to begin with but the point im making is that in the pursuit of achieving equality for one gender then the equality for the other becomes neglected and thats where issues start to rise, case in point, mens mental health. And its not just about equality either, gender privileges are not being addressed. In mainstream society men who go to strip clubs are considered to be perverts, but women who go to a strip club to watch men get naked arent even thought as being remotely close as perverts. A lot of women get to behave a certain way and is considered acceptable however men are demonised and perpetrated. Same with domestic abuse, ive seen social experiments where a woman was abusing a man out in public, she was even being physically violent, nobody went to help him and some ppl even laughed. She was able to get away with such behaviour because in the pursuit of "equality for women", there has been a paradigm shift in the psychology among society, and has allowed women to get away with actions and behaviours that men would be persecuted for. Equality needs to work both ways simultaneously. Not just one way and then worry about the rest later. | |||

"You cant hit a girl" oh but its okay for a girl to hit a man? I already explained in a previous comment how its acceptable in society for women to get away with being violent towards men. So us guys lose out on that one. Sexualisation, women get to objectify and sexualise men at the expense of our mental and physical health, whether its guys who are considered to be less attractive regardless if they have great personalities, or men who compromise their physical health for vanity by taking steroids. Mens body dysphoria is becoming just as bad as womens but how many body positivity campaigns for men do you see? Not to mention body shaming, do you have any idea how much i was made fun of even by other adults, both men and women, within the workplace because i was skinny? TOO MUCH. But its not cool to body shame or sexualise a woman especially for a man to say it. Crime and punishment, just look up the stats of crimes committed by both genders and look at the prison sentences. Look at how men are imprisoned for many more years compared to women. Even the treatment of men as criminals is far worse than what women receive. Those are a result of women being depicted as frail and weak and therefore deserve less harsher treatment. Do you think women are frail and weak? I dont think so, in fact there are lot of women out there stronger than a lot of men. So much of this shit is going on because equality was fought for women and it neglected to keep in mind the equality of both genders. Rather than society keeping to the middle and giving both genders equality and respect, it snowballed into the favour of women in many ways, not all, but many others. Maintaining equality is like a seesaw. Push too far in one direction and that side drops to the floor while the other gets lifted up high | |||

" I don't think women want anything at the expense of men though Umm are you sure about that? Yes, I'm sure " I meant are you sure that it hasnt already come at the expense of men? Because whether the vast majority of women (im sure there are some women who want to see men suffer) dont want their rights to come at the expense of mens rights, their movements really have come at the expense of mens equality in many ways, purely because society was ignorant to its actions and shift within the mass psychology. | |||

I mean you could point out that "male dominated wars" as mentioned above actually means young men sent off in their thousands and millions to die. That men are twice as likely to kill themselves as women, twice as likely to be murdered. You could point out that while women are twice a likely as men to report domestic abuse, men are also twice a likely to not report meaning the actual statistics are far closer. You could point out that, despite there being over 600,000 male victims of domestic abuse, this country only has 20 refuge places dedicated to men. None of this will make a difference though. We have steadily been drip fed the idea that inequality only ever works one way - the idea that it can be more nuanced is lost on most people as the ability to see different perspectives takes too much effort. So you have a choice, accept that in terms of the sexes only women can be discriminated against or accept being viewed as a misogynist. Mr | |||

Mr" Its only a losing battle due to the sheer ignorance among the masses. But ill still stand up for what i believe in regardless of the odds and i dont care if i get ostracised by both sides as a result of what i believe is right. At the end of the day, ppl need to start waking up and looking at the bigger picture and see what the right path is to take. Otherwise who gives a shit about who discriminates who? Might as well be that everyone is fair game and say and do as you please wothout any regard for others | |||

I know they are valid and your feelings on the matter are too but stats probably are in favour of women being victims. It doesn't mean in does not happen both ways. I am not sure if men get less help because of the prejudice that they should man up or there are other reasons.. like being less likely to reach out for help because they are not comfortable sharing they feel weak or need support. And you can't help those who don't ask for it or try to fight things on their own.. often in an ineffective way. I have sons and I always make sure they know they have as much right to express their sadness as anyone else. It doesn't mean I'll allow them to keep feeling sorry for themselves. I want them to be fighters but not at the cost of pretending they are OK to the world. Hopefully generations who are growing up now won't be subjected to being treated differently. Don't start me on domestic abuse law.. the prosecution rates are not great the whole criminal proceedings are daunting and stressful for the victims who have to prove weight of their allegations whilst the perpetrators sit and smile and deny it all. Its tragic. Thanks for sharing your experience even if we don't agree on everything. | |||

You could point out that, despite there being over 600,000 male victims of domestic abuse, this country only has 20 refuge places dedicated to men. None of this will make a difference though. We have steadily been drip fed the idea that inequality only ever works one way - the idea that it can be more nuanced is lost on most people as the ability to see different perspectives takes too much effort. So you have a choice, accept that in terms of the sexes only women can be discriminated against or accept being viewed as a misogynist. Mr" Or you could be truly loud about it and campaign to change it. Highlight the issues. Bring it to MP attention.. make a storm on social media. Start somewhere. | |||
