I wouldn't discard the risks to men that are homeless, but I easily acknowledge that a homeless woman would likely be much more vulnerable.
This one seems very equal to me. Its a usually a tragedy to lose someone of either gender. I'm not upset if a rapist or murderer commits suicide, however, irrespective of their gender.
I'm not following where this is a detriment to men. Statistically and my own anecdotal observation, women are much more negatively affected by job inequality.
I agree this one is frequently overlooked where men are the victims. Our society is evolving on this, but not fast enough.
I can't say I see that reflected in society. What I do see are some calling out specific issues (at least one you've raised above) as recently negatively affecting men, while the same issue has been negatively affecting women far worse and for far longer and that it had been ignored. It comes off as lack of self reflection and disingenuous where men have allowed women to suffer for years (decades? centuries?), but as soon as men are experiencing it too, its a crisis now!
Certainly not all, but certainly lots and lots of bad things. Only 13 of the 193 UN member nations have ever had a woman leader of the nation. source I don't see how anyone can say women are to blame for that, nor the policies those world leaders put into place.
Well, if men are in charge, then it would follow that they're responsible for the outcomes, yes? I'm willing to give a woman a chance to lead. She certainly can't be any worse that some of the worst men we've had as leaders.
I don't know what women you have in your life, but I have never experience this first hand with any of the women in my life.
I almost never see this kind of thing, even online. I don't do reddit (anymore), facebook, or tiktok though, so maybe thats where its happening that I don't see it?
