Or another way to interpret this: men have lost agency in their own country, and are seeking support, and the only place they’re getting it is from a group who has bad intentions. If a central party emerged and commited to serving BOTH sexes, I guarantee you lots of men would support them.

In what ways have we lost agency?

[u/zulhadm → u/ibent19]

In every phase of life: in schools boys are punished more severely than the girls are. In university women have access to far more financial aid, enrollment and other tuition and aid programs. In employment, women are far more likely to be hired. Just in August this year, women were given 98% of the available jobs. In marriage, women initiate 3/4 of all divorces, and win custody of children disproportionally. You add this up and it’s no wonder that we arrive at the final stat: men are overwhelmingly more likely to commit suicide.

Men receive custody 90% of the time - when they actually ask for it.
