I'm not trying to be disagreeable or abrasive, but this does not track with my experience. Bring up a women's issue, and it's societies problem. Bring up a men's issue and you'll quickly be invalidated or told 'men need to fix this issue themselves!'
- acdha 3y agoThat’s vague but it sounds like there may be differences in scope: if the problem you’re talking about is, for example, women not being hired at the same pay as equally-skilled men, that is a structural problem requiring systemic solutions. If on the other hand the problem is something like men not getting therapy because their peers will mock them (repeat for drinking too much, disrespecting women, etc.) there is some room for governmental action but a lot of it does have to be social change at a smaller scale. All the DARE posters in the world didn’t stop anyone from using drugs - but addressing economic and healthcare issues do, and that’s pretty frequently mentioned in conversations I’m part of.
