For example workplace harrasment by women towards males like touching or groping being ignored because the victim is male but if it where to happen to a woman by a male the male would be fired

    Clothes in general, I could borrow my husband’s shirt and nobody would bat an eye but I’d he borrowed mine (he can’t because I’m smaller, but assuming we were the same size-ish) would look strange.

    I don’t think groping is gonna be ignored in any workplace, in any direction.

    In favor of men: when we get angry, people listen. When women get angry, people stop listening.

    Against men: men being around children is seen as suspect. Women being around children is seen as healthy.

      Dude. I was at an MLB baseball game about a year ago. It was the 6th inning. I walked into the bathroom while play is still going on. I specifically picked that time because it was the other team at bat, and not their best hitters. My logic was “nobody will be in the bathroom, but nothing will happen in the game either! I’m so smart for going to pee now!”

      I walk into the bathroom. First thing I see is a row of about 20 urinals, and deadset in the middle is a 5 year old boy with his pants around his ankles. Bare ass on display. No parent in sight.

      I walked in, saw that, walked right back out. Like Aberaham Simpson when he walked into the strip club and saw Bart.

      I was like noooooooope. I am NOT going to be in that room when the dad comes in. Even if I’m 10 urinals away. I can wait to pee in the 7th inning, and totally abandon my amazing pee stratagy.

      Last thing I need is a protective parent walking in, and asking why I’m in the room with a bare assed 5 year old. Even if nothing happened. I’ll just wait an inning.

          No, it’s the same way here. People invent these imaginary fears. Same with OC about children in general. Nobody gives a shit or is looking at dads.

          Like sure, maybe you hit the jackpot and find the crazy but the vast majority of parents so not give a shit in the states.

    No one calls a woman a babysitter or says she’s “giving dad a break” when she’s somewhere with her own children.

    Men are often expected to swallow their emotions and just “function”, while women are allowed and even encouraged to display them openly

        Which is also funny because that leads directly to a lot of mental problems for these men.

        I see a change is this trend, but a lot of damage has already been done and it will take quite a while to recover from this.
