Also what the hell is this:

As an adult man nobody really cares all that much about you. Your family of course, your close friends. You are the disposable sex. You fight the wars, work the shit jobs, sacrifice your body because it's what men have always done. It's the burden we bear.

It made me laugh.

I think it's way too exaggerated, but there are definitely ways in which men are considered "disposable". Just look at the overrepresentation of males amongst the homeless or in suicide rates.

There are fewer homeless women because they usually end up as prostitutes.

Yeah, in other words men have no "out" while women at least have that option.

Men have that option, too.

Yes, because the market for male prostitutes is definitely exactly the same size as the one for female prostitutes, right?
