This is not my personal opinion, I know Gen Z men who voted for Harris. But the voter demographics really speak for themselves, and maybe now people will look at the radicalization of young men as a serious (but solvable) issue.

“The drug war” is not a male-exclusive problem. That would be like saying that because men are responsible for perpetrating 99% of violent crime, violence is an exclusively male problem. Notice I didn’t say that.
Also, are you sure you want me to add “trans male pregnancy” to the list of male problems? Are you quite sure this is something your fellow men feel strongly about? Don’t be dishonest, please.
Tell me you didn’t even look at the image without telling me you didn’t look at the image.
And you also don’t seem to think men can be raped since you think it’s only rapes of women that don’t get prosecuted.
I was pointing out the flaw in you claiming these were only problems that involve women. That is only true for most of them if you do not think trans men are men. Are trans men actually men?
I looked at your image. Let’s say the drug war affects men more than women by imprisoning them. I’ll give you that one. Unfortunately, most men don’t care about this issue. In fact they would probably approve.
Here’s a related one: prison rape. It’s a serious problem that affects more men than women. Unfortunately, men don’t care about this issue either. If we talked about it we’d lose the election even worse.
Another male exclusive problem: online radicalization… the infamous alt-right pipeline. This odious trend has reduced male college attendance and made my fellow American men even stupider than they otherwise would be.
Another exclusively male problem: dating culture disparity. Men are expected to pay for dates despite nearly equivalent earning potential.
Why didn’t you mention any of that? Instead you’re focused on the one in a million women who are now trans men who are giving birth (???)
Because men in prison, in numbers exponentially more than women, is a much bigger problem. One that you don’t seem to care about.
Also, you still haven’t told me if trans men are men, so I guess you don’t think they are. Especially when you said “women who are now trans men” as if they weren’t always men.
So this is some weird TERF crap. I’m not interested in that sort of bigotry.
I agree, but other men disagree. They don’t care or consider that a problem at all. Have you met men?
Women who are now trans men weren’t always trans men, were they? Maybe they thought of themselves as women for a long time before changing their mind.
What a bizarre argument to have in a thread showcasing your lack of understanding for the kind of things men actually care about and politics in general.
Yep. You’re a TERF.
You win. Men have lots of exclusively male problems because, uhh (checks notes), I refused to play your Shibboleth game about trans people.
Don’t turn this around on me. You said something that is some bigoted TERF shit about trans people:
Would you say this about gay men and women too? I doubt it.
You’ve made it very clear you don’t think trans men are men, so I’m not sure why you’re avoiding it now.
A minute ago you were defending men’s rights. Now you want to have a philosophical discussion about the nature of gender? I’m happy to have that conversation, and I doubt we ultimately disagree, but why? What possible bearing does it have on our disagreement over whether “nobody cares about men’s issues?” When in fact as far as I can tell our entire society is organized to help young men succeed.
I wouldn’t say that about sexual orientation because unlike gender, sexual orientation can’t be changed, as far as I know.
Philosophically there are two schools of thought. Either gender is arbitrary (1), or gender is not arbitrary (2). If the former, then people’s gender is entirely determined by their preferences, and it can change. If the latter, then there are factors outside of one’s preferences that determine their gender, which cannot change based on personal reflection.
Most people believe that gender can change (position 1). Ergo, my phrasing. Trans men are men. (And gender can change based on your preferences). I’ll freely admit I phrased my reply in a way intended to confuse and annoy you.
