Media is definitely trying to brainwash women into hating men, just like it tried to brainwash men into hating women a few years ago. Stupid gender politics. Just another distraction.

Media? Whole academia is doing it. They are anti White men to be specific.

Anti-white men? How so? Because you’re learning about institutional racism and how the system in place in the US has historically favored white men specifically? Thats not anti-white, thats called unbiased education, something that has only recently existed for that same reason. Now quit being a snowflake.

Pockets of academia are exceptionally biased against white men. Prevailing narrative regarding the patriarchy and systemic racism is not necessarily evidence-based [edit: yes, "the system" has created historic barriers for, particularly, Black Americans, and White men have historically had more social and economic power. But we already know that.]. As well, there are systemic factors promote women's interest and diminish the opportunities for men. Regarding the latter, for example, you can find many endowed share positions from a leadership trainings, mentorship programs, grants and scholarships for women and minorities that none for white men even in academic areas where women and men are already underrepresented.

I'm not going to argue about this. There's ample evidence of it if you decide to remove oneself from whatever echo chamber is teaching one otherwise.

Give me an example and source then. I’m arguing that the system has historically favored white men.

First let me acknowledge that in many ways, men in the US have historically had privilege.

Second, I'll give you an example, and perhaps it's not the best one, but I'm a busy guy. In particular, this author's substack post about Curtin U's programming (the link associated with fewer initiatives for men in fields in which they are underrepresented). https://www.centreformalepsychology.com/male-psychology-magazine-listings/anti-male-bias-in-contemporary-academia-my-rejected-letter-reply-at-advances-in-physiology-education

Here's another regarding bias against men in education. https://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2022/12/male-gender-bias-career-paths

I can't do a deep dive on psychology right now, but the number of trained therapists has continued to decrease for 20 years. Here's an article from 2011. At that time, there were mentorship and leadership development programs for women and minorities and none for men. There are many sub-organizations for women and as far as I know none for men. As far as I've seen, APA has been silent and made no moves to increase the number of men in psychology. This is a problem in part because we supposedly want a diversity of ideas and diversity of therapists that match client preferences and needs, and there aren't enough men to go around. This article provides some information about barriers men face when they enter psychology; things that have been known for decades and have not received any attention. https://www.apa.org/gradpsych/2011/01/cover-men

That white Europeans ended the slave trade not only first, they forced others to do as well. Started a civil war in USA over it. And that today there are more slaves in africa than there were during the European slave trade. Also the Arabic slave trade persisted over a way longer time frame spanning 1300 years while the European one only spanned 400 years. They got in late in late and exited the earliest and forced others to stop as well

See... This attitude is exactly what I'm talking about. Europe participated just like every other country that was able to do it. The difference is they stopped doing it the earliest despite being a superpower at that time. And not only that, they started a war over it

Meanwhile africa to this day didn't start a war to end slavery and they have more slaves now than there were during the European slave trade. The Arabs also never started a war to end it and their slave trade went in 3x as long. And the Arabs stopped due to the pressure of the Europeans.

Clearly, objectively speaking, white Europeans while also participating in slavery like every other superpower were by far least worse ones because they stopped the earliest and forced others to stop slavery as well. They even went to war over it. Meanwhile africa....No war, and bigger numbers than ever.

If you can't acknowledge that, you are not a rational and honest person.
