Women Respond to the ‘Men Are Ignored’ Claim

One woman highlights the gender disparity in political representation as evidence that society still heavily favors men. According to her, just because people at large are raising concerns about women’s issues does not mean they don’t care about men.

1. Men in Power

Women advocating for gender equality emphasize the need for men to actively engage in promoting men’s rights. They argue that the burden of addressing gender issues should not rest solely on women’s shoulders.

2. Shouldn’t Men Carry the Torch Too?

Some women argue that this statement fails to consider the intersectionality of gender and class. They highlight the disparities between rich and poor men, emphasizing that privilege and power are not exclusive to gender but are more pronounced within wealthier demographics.

3. Unpacking Privilege and Class

Women acknowledge the lack of focus on men’s mental health but highlight historical inequalities that have disproportionately affected women. They argue that many privileges and rights enjoyed today were not effortlessly granted but were hard-fought battles by women’s rights movements. 

4. A Historical Perspective
