We talk a lot about gender inequality and that’s important!
But real equality means acknowledging all disparities, even the ones that don’t get much attention.
Men face serious disadvantages in several areas:
• Family courts still overwhelmingly favor mothers in custody decisions
• Fathers often lose meaningful access to their children after separation
• Men pay the vast majority of child support and face harsher enforcement
• Men die by su***de at much higher rates than women
• Male victims of abuse are less likely to be believed or supported
• Men receive longer criminal sentences for the same crimes
• Men make up most workplace deaths, homelessness, and violent crime victims
And yet
There is little to no public outcry from politicians or council members.
There are few targeted schemes to address these issues.
There is no coherent men’s policy in most governments.
There are no public consultations or meetings specifically called to address male disadvantage.
None of this erases the challenges women face.
But ignoring male suffering doesn’t create equality it deepens it!
If we want a fair society, we need systems that judge people as individuals, not stereotypes.
Caring about men’s issues isn’t anti-women.
It’s pro-human.
We can — and should — do better. 💪
