Sure, but, that’s not why I bothered. It’s a small effort to hopefully get other folks to think about these problems holistically.

Which don’t protect them in cases of rape or reproductive coercion. Vasectomies are a form of permanent sterilization with dubious reversal rates.

That’s also ignoring how there are fewer options for birth control, in no small part due to biological differences (read: hormones).

I see this as the same allowing prisoners to vote, it protects against governments passing rules to unfairly criminalise something.

Huh TIL it’s a kind of algae, which in turn is not a part of the plantae kingdom. Neat.

Hyperland has supposedly sorted out their issues a while ago, providing that’s true I don’t see any significant issues with continuing to support them.

What I take fault with is the handling of DHH (or whatever the acronym is), and, frankly I don’t want anything short of publicly condemning what they stand for.

However, we also need to be pragmatic here, companies are not our friends and frankly you’d struggle to convince me that frame.work is meaningfully worse than the rest. So, eh.

Tribalism

You’re paying with your body, the work can be very dangerous, and it takes a while to ramp up to decent pay. On top of that the pay isn’t always going to be better than a degree (iirc research has concluded that lifetime earnings for trades are behind degrees), ignoring countries with sensible tertiary education options.

Trades are not equivalent. And education is still a significant indicator of political alignment.

Honestly, this is a great example of the empathy gap.

The reality of this all is rather complex but I think the greatest issue is fundamentally the empathy gap. Men’s issues are not recognized as issues, they’re just dismissed out of hand. I’m talking about the easy things like the sentencing and education gaps.

We need to start the discourse that these are very real problems that are worth addressing.

Another problem I personally run into is how it’s acceptable to discriminate against men, “kill all men” is acceptable but “kill all race” isn’t. Neither should be and we don’t recognize it as a problem, instead defaulting to arguments that are considered horrendous in another context.
