Yes? At least as far as all the individual points about men dying earlier in general, having higher suicide rates, greater risk of homelessness, worse education

  > the individual points about men dying earlier in general, having higher suicide rates, greater risk of homelessness, worse educational outcomes, etc. We certainly can find some ways in which the male population is worse off - though that doesn't establish any correlation or causation, inevitably in some ways it's true. But we need to look at the overall picture. > I suppose the point of contention people would make is that men deserve it/have it coming so it's not worth discussing or treating as a political topic. That's a pretty incredible strawman. Can you find one person saying that?

    I can list lots of ways that men are worse off, and I have done exactly that. You don't even acknowledge them besides writing them off as perhaps minor inconveniences, and ask us to look at the "overall picture" instead without even bothering to try to paint that big picture. Why is the fact that men face significant discrimination in education not part of the big picture? > Can you find one person saying that? Let's be explicit about this, since you seem intent on evading the discussion: why shouldn't we treat male-particular suffering, discrimination, and death as important topics for society to address? What possible explanation is there for you to write those issues off as not part of the big picture except for thinking that men deserve it?
