Despite patriarchy's persistence, growing numbers of men believe they have it worse off than women. And, new research shows this "male victimhood" ideology is most common among men who aren't facing hardship. Which means what they're really feeling is status loss. 1/

Which ‘privileges’ do you think you lack, white, western woman?
Control ...
There’s also like a the subconscious dopamine begotten of their addictions to our domestic labor, which the new apostolic oligarchy is selling at the same time as they scapegoat us.
I have have a friend (& she ain’t the first) who would live single but she can’t afford it..
If precarity continues to increase will men be content with higher status than women/demand more punishment or will it lose effectiveness as a distraction?
For an heterosexual male this should feel like a bliss. Homosexual male also seek women for help and to share.
Riley Gains crying for 3 years over 5th place trophies after getting a free ride to learn to swim in a sport that loses money is peak fake victimhood and privilege as well
Its sad yes.
Also I must say the most obnoxious anti choice posters I know are all female boomers and gen X. The guys stfu
But the sad truth is poor young men have actually fallen behind women by pretty much every metric.
Find ways to combat that through class dynamics and making sure to speak about power structures in a way that isolates the riches actions away from the rest is key to break the hold they have men
Men die significantly younger and much more likely from violence or suicide. Men are more likely to be homeless. Etc etc.
Anything else, because by challenging the patriarchy’s effect on men, you move towards feminist goals.
Genuine Qs, not argumentative
IMO it’s women’s job for the same reason as it is men’s job.
These are your fathers, partners, brothers etc.
And more selfishly (from your point of view) how they are treated directly impacts how women are treated.
I expect women to be involved to challenging a patriarchy that damages them, the society we live in and the men they are inextricably linked with.
The same as men are expected to behave to towards women.
By extension, men, having the most status, are always fighting the hardest to stay atop the status pyramid, and the ones that get hurt are often other men.
But beyond looking out for yourself & helping others in need, I’m unsure of other scalable remedies.
What should MEN do to address this very real issue?
Because we love our families, we care about society and we understand that genders do not exist in a vacuum?
And no, it’s not “all lives matter” energy. I care about women and I care about eradicating the patriarchy.
If even discussing how the patriarchy affects men induces an accusation of whataboutism..
And sure, these facts have been weaponised by cocks. Does that mean that decent folk just leave the debate?
Eg. At an event the other day a woman was talking about how young men don’t understand the fear of walking at night alone. Having had a knife waved in my face etc its a fear I understand all too well.
Their needs to be an acknowledgedment of the vast change of the world over the last century and the fact that some men *are* falling behind and are disadvantaged. Rich men still rule the word
I‘m not sure it solves all the structural problems, but it is a atart.
At the same time, when those discussions do reach me, the welfare of men, except as children, is rarely discussed.
Heard an awful lot about VAWG. Never heard male on male violence discussed in terms of the patriarchy.
More like as comments on here: “that’s on you…”
That damages everyone.
Formulating gender ideologies in a vacuum damages everyone..
Whenever men try to talk about or solve these issues, they are treated as effeminate, and whenever women try to, they are relentlessly mocked.
It's easy to see women and feminism as such a distraction and systemic change as just something to adapt to.
And that’s how it should be. That’s that bend in history that MLK said bends toward justice.
Get this for us or else, is the most common one
The big one is that at any moment and for any reason you can be thrown out of your own home and facing the perils of a divorce judgement where you just got dragged thru the courts
In 2019 he began calling people pedos as an insult—obv radicalization sign.
This is about a case brought in 2017.

Hence the direct route to patriarchal white nationalism.
Scary stuff.
But maybe a similar dynamic does seem to apply in other places too, where it may be a different dominant group.
Keep minimizing the problems that men face in our modern society and we'll never see democratic elections again.
Weak men who have *always* been weak need to feel better about themselves by beating the shit out of women.
Women, need to start feeling their inner killer.
Women stop dating weak-ass men. Please stop allowing weak ass men into your life.
Please stop being used by weak ass men.
He knows he is a cult leader
Because he knows that, he and his generals are gearing up for the grand fleecing of America.
Men fear loss of control to women
When we were dating, my ex was enamored by how independent and capable I was. After we got married, he expected me to use those abilities to further HIS life goals, ignore my own, and help him live HIS ideal life. Wtf.
It’s insane how entitled they are. I’ve met these people vacationing in Mexico and Europe. Even sat next to them at a nice restaurant in Belize overhearing them complain how Biden was ruining their lives.
Seeing it with several members of my family. So sad.
resentment over a perceived loss of sexual and racial status while the Gop are always excused for leveraging the resentment.
I think this study is really interesting, but I’m having a hard time getting the real lesson because I can’t quite picture what those terms mean.
Great post tx
* IOW, “they’re treating me like I used to treat them!”
Like when I was a kid we got overdiagnosed with adhd and pumped full of stimulant psychoactives similar to meth and cocaine. Fun stuff
The right's major issue is that white men need to feel at the top and ANY change to that is a threat.
They have lost something, the lie they were raised to believe.

These guys are so close to getting it. Patriarchy sucks for 99.9999% of people.
Your point is correct.
LoL
Statistically, men are lazy because they're raised that way. The numbers of men who want 'trad' wives who still work full time jobs is nauseating.
So
In studying company towns: one premise is that they are remote communities. And thus, they need the company town structure to survive. I realized that company towns usually come with a neighboring town. That town houses the "undesirable" workers.
Thank you-- fascinating.
Girls manage to do it.
