Sadly, that's Political SoP for any group that both seems to be "society's current losers" and is not the current darling of some powerful ideological movement. Just ask poor women, Native American women, etc., etc., etc.
We see that in the extreme cases, as men are expelled and imprisoned far more often, but it's also true in more subtle policies, like DEI.
Consider: even though young women outnumber men in universities 1.5 to 1, and do better, and even earn more, DEI still favors young women.
> Her boyfriend asked: “Did you have an affair with your boss?” He is now an ex-boyfriend.
and
> He thought household chores and child care were women’s work, and that women could not be leaders.
and
> In their analysis they found that young men were much more likely than young women to agree with statements such as “men should put career first, whereas women should put family first” and “when the economy is bad, female employees should be fired first.”
I wouldn't say they are completely made up, you could probably meet some people with such views but I'd say they're a small majority. But yeah, you don't tell your girlfriend she had an affair with her boss unless you're total jerk, so I'd say the author of the article used these figurative examples trying to demonstrate different outlooks without caring for realism that much.
Part of the problem is that a more nuanced discussion is cancelled on the mainstream platforms, so many flock to echo chambers which tend to radicalize its members.
It's absurd that basically any advocacy of men's rights will get you shouted down as chauvinism. Feminists claim they fight for equal rights, but then are not willing to take any men issue AND are not willing to acknowledge any organization focusing on men's rights in principle.
Nah. They say they do, but they aren't actually willing to put any effort toward it and they shut down discourse when it is mentioned all the time in practice.
Until you acknowledge this, you're just contributing to misandry, indirectly.
Statements like these are a part of the problem. Of course I believe in your case you maed it in good faith, but it shows how much needs to be done.
One good example is obligatory military service, and the situation of men in Ukraine. While all women can freely escape the war, men have to suffer constant fear.
Also, the article starts with examples from Poland. You may notice there is a 5-year gap in retirement age between men and women while lifespan gap is ca 8 years. That is men, if they manage to retire, would enjoy only 7 years of their retirement while for women it's over 20 years. This is both sad and unfair, for many reasons.
In the same way prosecutors definitely support rights of the accused: notionally, but their hearts aren't really in it and they're motivated to look away.
Citation Needed. We live in an absolute gynocracy, and nearly every current statistical data point, from college attendance, to graduation rates, to job placements, to career advancements, to legal favoritism, to divorce outcomes, to hours-adjusted compensation, to dating and relationship control, to transfer payments, to reproductive rights, to social services availability, to de facto legal presumption, to the production-consumption gap, to... ad nauseum, indicates this.
What is completely unacceptable is for people like you to pretend that we live in 1974, when claims like the above were true. The overcorrection has been fierce, rapid, and brutal in the last decade or two.
People like you need to look at a fucking calendar from time to time and realize that 20th century talking points don't apply anymore.
Think about it: What if men didn’t have the risk of being homeless?
I have no idea what you mean by "The only demographic that provides results for their work".
Even from the perspective of creating competition for desirable outcomes, you want your workforce healthy and educated to be at their most productive. People are obviously going to be more productive when they're able to take care of themselves; they don't just stop caring about their lives once they have their most basic needs met, and even if your needs are being met, you have to continue to work to have your needs met.
