The Abject discrimination of men by women.steemCreated with Sketch.

in #teamaustralia7 years ago (edited)


In 1848, movements were a big deal in America. They had movements such as the Abolishment of Slavery Movement, Temperance Movement and the birth of the Women's Movement. The most famous of these early movements were the Suffragettes who campaigned long and hard (70years) to get the right for women to vote.

Then we jump forward to the 60's and 70's. This brought about the modern era of Womens Lib and Feminism. Women became much more militant and much more socialist in their views. Womens Lib DEMANDED free childcare, abortions and equal pay. Obviously this was also the period of free love and communism. Even though America and Australia thought that the communist threat was widely and overseas problem, the idealogy was completely at home within the American and Australian household. Free this, and Equal that are basically communist ideas.

So now women are basically treated as equal right? Women have the right to vote, drive, serve in the military, serve in government as basically every other thing men can do.

BUT.......

Lets look at some other statistics that women don't want the world to see.

Did you know.....

Men are 97% of combat fatalities.
Men pay 97% of Alimony
Men make 94% of work suicides.
Men make up 93% of work fatalities.
Men make up 81% of all war deaths.
Men lose custody in 84% of divorces.
80% of all suicides are men.
77% of homicide victims are men.
89% of men will be the victim of at least one violent crime.
Men are over twice as victimised by strangers as women.
Men are 165% more likely to be convicted than women.
Men get 63% longer sentences than women for the same crime.
Court bias against men is at least 6 times bigger than racial bias.
Males are discriminated against in school and University.
Boys face vastly more corporal punishment than girls.
60-80% of the homeless are men.
Women's Cancers receive 15 times more funding than men's
At least 10% of fathers are victims of paternity fraud.

Then lets look at the REAL money gap
Men earn 61.5% of all income but only account for 25% of domestic spending. Men only spend 40% of what they earn after tax. In contrast women make up 38.5% of all income but control 75% of domestic spending, women on average spend 90% MORE MONEY THAN THEY EARN. Men are exploited as cash machines and even with spending on children accounted for women still spend more money on themselves than the combined spending for men and children. This can even be observed in the floor space allocated to women's products in most shopping centres.
Personally I think this statistic is a little unfair, as a marriage is a team effort and the spending should be equitable to achieve the "team" goals.

Then, if we look at taxation and government spending

Men pay over 70% of income tax but the vast majority of public spending is on services for women.
There is more money spent on breast cancer than lung cancer and prostate cancer combined, despite the fact that lung cancer alone has 3-4 times more fatalities than breast cancer.
A man's chance of getting cancer is 44% and 23% of men will die from cancer, 38% of women get cancer and 19% die. Yet there is vastly more money spent on cancer for women, this is lethal discrimination.
Women pay 60% less tax despite spending 300% more in domestic spending than men. Women also consume two third of public spending, there are 3 times the amount of gender specific health services for women than men despite the fact that for equal increases in health spending a man's life expectancy rate increases nearly twice as much as a woman's.

And if we look at Domestic Violence

There are hundreds of surveys which shows women are as violent if not more violent than men in domestic violence cases. Men get arrested in 85% of all arrests but its estimated that Women are the perpetrators in most Domestic Violence cases.
Most reciprocal violence is started by women and 70% of non reciprocal violence is perpetrated by women. Women however only get arrested in 15% of all DV arrests.
This example of 572 different studies covering 371,600 people demonstrate that women are as physically aggressive, or more aggressive, than men in their relationships with their spouses or male partners. Link
More men than women were victims of intimate partner physical violence and over 40% of severe physical violence was directed at men. Link
Despite this though,99.3% of DV shelter spaces are for women and even men who report violence against them by women are arrested far more often than the woman who is attacking them.

The above statistics are largely American and can be contentious. So lets look at some common place Social inequities that anyone in Australia can see.
- Women's only clubs. Women have their own gender biased clubs, case in point the CWA and Fernwoods gym. Men are not to be members of this. But when we have a gentleman's club such as Tattersals, women make it their mission to "Break the Barriers" and join these clubs, stating that its sexist that they can't join.

- Nudity. When I was an apprentice, we had scantily clad women on our calendars in the workshop. This is now taboo as women feel "Objectified" BUT.... its perfectly socially acceptable to have topless firefighter calendars plastered around the work place. Are we both not human with the same make up? Why is it OK to show toned male breasts, but as soon as a male worker displays a set of women's breast (which are basically the same except they have a much larger layer of fat above the muscle) its suddenly "objectification"

Lastly, and probably once of the most blatantly discriminatory,

- Gender quota's. As I've reported on before, there is an insidious movement by the Human Right Commission in Australia to set benchmark employment quota's to increase the number of females in the workforce. No longer is it acceptable to hire the best person for the job, instead now we have to balance the ratio of men to women in the workforce. So if a position becomes available, in some instances if a man is more qualified a woman will still get the job solely to appease a ratio figure. This is disgusting.

I hope this article has helped to open your eyes to the way the world has taken on a Gynocentric sexism culture. The women's lib movement of the 20's and 30's i think would actually be upset how far their initial work has come in terms of equality. But any attempts to correct these wrongs will be met with calls of prejudice and "all men are pigs" .

Thanks for reading, and hopefully this deserves a resteem and upvote.

Great post mate..for all the stirring up in the chatroom.. I actually agree with your sentiments :) now I'll wait for the feminists to come smack me!

Equal should mean equal.

Discrimination is discrimination and it definitely goes in both directions even though you rarely hear it that way

Thanks Shelly. I agree. Equality for all, not skewed equality.

This is a very interesting analysis. Definitely a few thought provoking statistics.
Try being a male nurse if you want to feel discriminated by women, not to mention there hero Florence Nightingale was single handily responsible for banning males from her nursing schools and this cutting them out of the entire profession for years.

The only area I disagree is on breast cancer spending, as most of that spending is from the amazing marketing machine of the breast cancer movement who have been riding that for all it's worth and government spending is likely more equal across cancer types.

thanks mate.
I'll have to look into the cancer part more. But that opens me to a whole other story about how its really not in their best interest to ever find the cure. If they did they'd loose their gravy train. The same as climate change.

Yea cancer fundraising is big business for sure and very unfortunate it's run that way. I've heard and read a lot about the controversy in cancer fundraising. There's also a lot of debate about all the fighting and combat references and metaphors they use. Sorry I feel like I'm off on a tangent now and hijacking your comment feed.

Whenever money is involve, theirs always a problem.

Great post.

I agree the Suffragettes would probably be appalled to see the current feminist movement in action, which IMHO has been overrun by Marxists.

It is hard for me to comprehend how feminists are not up in arms about the treatment of women in certain cultures, denying education, female circumcision, forced marriages and other forms of oppression.....instead they seem to want to bash the Western guys who are not perfect but generally treat women better than anyone.

thanks mate.

The reason they don't argue it? Because it doesn't affect them, they really only care about make their own lives either, its really nothing to do with equality for women as a whole.
Plus they know that the Africans and Arabs won't bow down to their bitching like western society does.

Gohba, - this is without a doubt SirKnight's 'Favourite Post of the Week'

In fact SirKnight was trying to explain to his daughter just last night that sometimes the term 'EQUALITY' is thrown around rather loosely. Afterall - when it comes to being CEOs of Multi-National organisations women want to be 'EQUAL'. But when it comes to taking up Hazardous or even Dirty Occupations - well we'll just leave them to the men.

These US hurricanes are teaching these Third-Wave-Feminists a thing or two about gender equality - they don't mind a big strong man coming to the rescue - just so long as the pay is equal right?

SirKnight says... 'Ladies, time to stand by your man!'

Haha! Ain't that the truth. I get the feeling many women aren't after equal rights so much as special rights!

Stand by your man indeed. I'm certainly proud to stand by mine!

I loved this reply minismallholding - your man is one lucky man and am sure he knows it.

It delight's SirKnight to know that there are intelligent, motivated women out there who have not been corrupted by feminist propaganda and can enjoy being in a relationship with a man and spending time with their children, grow their own vegetables and tending to the chickens, without needing to feel guilty that they have somehow been deprived of their liberties by a white male oppressor.

I wish you all the best with your Steemit adventures my Lady.

SirKnight.

Why thank you Sirknight. 😁 I love what I do and that my man supports me in it and in return I support him.

PS: I wonder if you can help something I've been trying to discover for some time now. What white male privileges are men supposed to have and acknowledge? Because I can't figure that out. 🤔

I remember going to clubs at night with my friends and the place was littered with working girls. They weren't hookers or anything, but you basically paid for their attention.

Most people would think that the girls were being objectified, but if you ask me, the dudes were the ones turning into objects: their own wallets.

I've seen so many guys paying a ridiculous amount just to sit and talk to these girls and they somehow are led to thinking they're in a real relationship.

Nothing is sadder than a guy who tells his own friends he's in love with some working girl, but she doesn't even have the decency to reply a simple text. And eventually, she disappears.

I am not big on politics or the feminism, but never underestimate how powerful a woman can be, especially when the dude is smitten.

exactly, 100% agree with this

Your comment has so much truth to it. I've had several of my friends "exploited" by such women who were quick to move on when the well ran dry.

This is not a phenomenon of the past, it still happens every day.

Yes. The women be on stage. The guys may be in the audience. But they lose.

Also believe that we are all created equal.

Very True have you see the movie "The Red Pill" by a former Female Feminist that has since taken this point of view after in depth research.

Thanks mate. I was going to use some of your pictures in here, with the censored band to prove a point, but couldn't segway into it good enough.

I haven't seen that movie, I'll have to look it up.

Great post @gohba.handcrafts your datas are quite informative and enlightening.. also female gets better women and mother's day....men's father's day is far less celebrated... Kids tend to support their mum's more than dad's who toil all his life for the family....the list goes on...

Don't we also objectify each other as humans constantly just to get through our day? When you walk down the street you aren't concerned with people on a human level. You don't acknowledge that everyone is a thinking thing that lives a nuanced life of emotion and all the other burdens that come along with sentience. You think that dude looks smelly and the line he's walking might intersect with my own so he's probably about to get in my way. We come obstructions, obstacles and patterns of movement in other peoples' eyes. Not to mention our brains are meant to recognize shapes, curves especially for men, in order to keep the necessary blood pumping to keep this whole human species thing going. Not gonna lie I've had some intimate thoughts about statues before nothing that has lead me to commit an act of agalmatophilia, but enough that I had to walk around with a boner tucked into a belt in the mall. If you ever find yourself in that situation eat a really good pretzel. With a good pretzel in your hands the world around you becomes superfluous.

Like many things, what started out as oppressed trying to get equality has gone so far that it is no longer equality. Communism becomes dictatorship, equal rights becomes a dictatorship... Is it just me, or does this sort of thing only seem to happen when government steps in to issue the orders and it all gets out of hand?
