I believe men to be the oppressed in American society.
I am wondering if violence against women in the western world is a result of opression and frustration from men who are not treated with respect but are made to work much harder and more difficult jobs than anyone else.
I have been considering the number of men incarcerated(and for how long), I think of the number of men killed in wars and I think about the number of men who are homeless(compared to women) and lastly I think about male suicide rates (due to lack of perceived value by society)
I am not saying the violence against women is acceptable or should be tolerated.
I am saying let’s look at how society treats men and women and let’s see if it’s fair.
Feminism is equality for the sexes. Let’s talk about the inequalities men face
Not sure how to quantify the abuses women face from men and vice versa
That doesn’t mean that men aren’t being oppressed.
That means that men oppress men.
So in a nutshell you're talking about toxic masculinity. The state of mind that creates bullying, domination over others, and fascism.
Here's a thought experiment for you... Would we have wars if men of this nature weren't projecting their toxicity onto the world, and believing they need to defend against the very thing they themselves create?
Would women pick up the slack for men here? Or would self awareness end the historical cycle of violence, and usher in reason and compromise?
Maybe
No, i called. Now youre supposed to showdown.

At least you don't hide your will to emasculate society
