have you considered that family courts prioritize women in child custody because women are viewed as being more fit to be parents? It's a seemingly positive outcome of a sexist notion (that women are better caretakers than men).

While I mentioned there's some men's issues that feminists address, I want to cautiously comment that these are issues which men are perfectly capable of addressing on their own. Feminism, like I said, is about issues related to women. it's not fair to expect feminists to care about everything. And I never even see discusson about male suicide rates, mental health, etc. unless it's in the context of "why aren't feminists talking about this". Not focusing on an issue isn't the same as ignoring it.

Me Too? Who got punished for that? Which men had their careers ruined? I can think of far more women who were making reports and saw no results. There's way too many famous and powerful men who've continued to be successful despite multiple accusations.

Which laws exist to punish men? I can think of at least a few laws which exist to punish women. Like anti-abortion laws.

There's that "man-hater" notion again. Feminism calls out the ways in which men harm or disadvantage women (sometimes unintentionally. If you haven't already, pay attention to how often people speak or interrupt each other in conversations between men and women). These are things which men have been getting away with and now they're being held accountable. It just feels like being attacked because there's so many things that have never been talked about before.

Might try to make this my last post on this thread. I don't want to get anyone too upset. I don't think anyone is trying to be malicious on the subject. Feminsts and their movements will continue to exist, regardless of what any individual thinks of them. But I have seen these arguments, word for word, in so many different places. None of these points have changed in years.
