I certainly don't live under a rock.
There is a lot of evidence of an overarching militant feminist agenda, which seeks to belittle, patronize and completely ignore the needs of men, and it seems to be fulling what I think is a surge in ideas of masculinity. A man should be self sufficient, strong, sturdy, independent, invulnerable, responsible and always accountable for his own actions and his misdeeds are never anything other than deliberate ill-intentioned deviancy.
We have the highest prisoner numbers in Europe, and increasing. 80% of prisoners were subject to some form of abuse as children, most all are from poor/underprivileged backgrounds most have some form of mental health issue.
Men get sent to prison substantially more often than do women. The feminist view is that these are mere beasts and criminals. Lock them up at cost of £40,000 a year (ponder this, how much would a program of counselling and social support cost? Less than half of that I shouldn’t wonder). But no there is this hatred of men by women, and a willingness of men to go along with this view for fear of being seen as 'weak' or misogynistic means that we punish, penalise, condemn men and their misdeeds, a label of criminal is a licence to hate and devise ever crueller punishments.
A person who believes prison is an option for non-voilent offenders, has themselves, at their core, even more despicable cruelty than does the person they feel allowed to hate. A decent human would ask “what went wrong with this person, can we fix it?” Better to take on a damaged individual, fix him and chuck out someone someone can be of value to society at the end of it.
Matters are worse in the USA, where laws are designed to criminalize coloured people, many such laws, such as drug laws are then being imported over here.
Those who hold these same militant feminists views, went beyond equality and human rights for women and children, to repeatedly diminishing equality and rights for men. If I, as a man do something wrong, the answer is hate, lock up and punish, demonize and dehumanize. If a women or child does such a thing, they need help and support, there were “going through a bad patch”. There are charities for kids, there are charities for women and there are charities for old people. There are few (I could not even name one) for men.
So we suffer in silence, do the wrong thing sometimes and increasingly, kill ourselves.
None of these feminists are speaking up for the rapidly increasing prisoner suicides. They are men, criminals, who cares about their emotions, let them die.
This is not the feminism I know about and believe in.
I don't have enough emotinal energy to actually show and explain concepts at the moment. Otherwise I would.

Maybe later.
