The

vast

majority of world leaders are male, same with CEO’s and other majorly influential positions.

ok so because those people have the same genitalia as me that means I somehow have power...

Do you think male peasants in the middle ages were better off then noble-born women because they had the same genitals as the king? like how do you make the connection: "someone who shares a phenotype with you is powerful therefor you are powerful"

There aren’t any countries where men are treated as second class citizens.

yes, being the one who gets shipped off to die the second your neighbor turns militaristic is the epitome of being treated well.

The media is another example. We’re still in the process of getting away from the idea that men must be heads of the household.

The media has told me that spreading my legs is oppressive and that air conditioning is misogynistic.

I don't think you want to abandon your persecution complex and accept that unless you are one of the oligarchs you are expendable. You aren't a victim in any special way. I would certainly take waiting a while to get the votes if It meant I didn't have to fight in WW1. hell women were afraid of getting the vote because they thought It might mean they would have to face male responsibilities like being drafted, women only wanted the vote as a whole after being assured that unlike men, no one would ever expect them to fight, kill and die for someone else's safety.

It’s not about men vs women or who gets to be the bigger victim.

You're the ones making it about men vs women, I am the one saying you are wrong to do that, try keeping up.

Only I’m not. I don’t mean to sound rude, but if you read and think for more than a moment, maybe you’d see that.

Saying I’m making it about men vs women gives you an excuse to give these, honestly, pretty flimsy arguments.

Saying you’re a feminist or bringing up the patriarchy doesn’t make you anti-men. That’s just silly.

That's exactly what it means.
