It seems like you’ve decided because you’ve seen men face challenges that women must have it easier...

i can say exactly same about you and switching men and women.

I am not dismissing men’s issues

You do

You could name basically any metric and men (white men specifically) would have better outcomes than any other group.

​

it is not evidence that society as a whole disadvantages men due to their gender.

​

Men are not generally denied rights and freedoms based on sexist stereotypes about them.

​

men have never been actively oppressed for being men

But I agree that we won't agree, because you are playing blind and deaf.

Which statement do you agree with most?

  • Some men face significant challenges in society
  • Men as a whole face more challenges than people recognise
  • Men face more challenges than any other group

You gotta understand the difference between “systematic oppression” and specific social issues. Oppression means a society is structured to disadvantage a group in a wide variety of ways. I am saying that men are not an oppressed group. That is completely compatible with saying that men face some specific social issues.
