This is not my personal opinion, I know Gen Z men who voted for Harris. But the voter demographics really speak for themselves, and maybe now people will look at the radicalization of young men as a serious (but solvable) issue.

    Imagine if you reversed the roles there and said something like issues facing women: handbag not sparkly enough or some shit

    There are real issues for both men and women. The fact people think otherwise is part is the root of the problem

      But I would be lying.

      Look, name an issue that exclusively affects men, and I’ll amend my list. So far, no one has come up with anything.

        “Rapes aren’t prosecuted” doesn’t exclusively effect women by any means. Also, men can get pregnant. Trans men are men.

        I understand the point you’re making and I generally agree, but to suggest there are not issues that affect young men much more than young women that seriously need fixing is silly.

        The insane drug war affects men far, far more than women.

        And you’ll also notice that, aside from Breyonna Taylor who cops didn’t even know was there, virtually every major case involving police extrajudicial murder was of a black man.

          “The drug war” is not a male-exclusive problem. That would be like saying that because men are responsible for perpetrating 99% of violent crime, violence is an exclusively male problem. Notice I didn’t say that.

          Also, are you sure you want me to add “trans male pregnancy” to the list of male problems? Are you quite sure this is something your fellow men feel strongly about? Don’t be dishonest, please.

            Tell me you didn’t even look at the image without telling me you didn’t look at the image.

            And you also don’t seem to think men can be raped since you think it’s only rapes of women that don’t get prosecuted.

            Also, are you sure you want me to add “trans male pregnancy” to the list of male problems?

            I was pointing out the flaw in you claiming these were only problems that involve women. That is only true for most of them if you do not think trans men are men. Are trans men actually men?

        Mental health issues being ignored by their peers and society as a whole is a pretty big one

        You could claim women have mental health problems too and they do but they have spaces to talk about that

          So your claim is that “mental health issues” are an exclusively male problem? Because again, the problems I listed for women affect them exclusively.

          So do you see what the problem is here?

          EDIT: people that downvote this benign comment are proving me right. Braindead.

            You ignored part of my message, I said the problem was that men’s mental health problems are largely ignored, not that women don’t have mental health problems

              So to be clear, one of the main issues that men in this country face that women do not face is that “their mental health issues are ignored”?

              Who is “ignoring” these mental health issues? There’s no systematic lack of access that needs to be legislated, correct? I had absolutely zero problem getting therapy as a man. It’s a toxic masculinity thing of men themselves being unwilling to see a therapist. Correct?
