    Is the lived experiences of women and girls “oppression olympics” to you?

    Yes! Literally yes! You’re close to getting it!

    “Women have it worse” is participating in oppression Olympics and it’s belittling men’s problems. I am not disputing the facts of how bad women have it. I don’t think anyone in this thread is.

    I’m saying it’s irrelevant to the conversation at hand, and at BEST it’s a distraction.

      This isn’t a men’s space. This is a public forum. I’m allowed to respond to anti feminism here and I will. That’s your own problem if you do not like it. And you’re openly using anti feminist nonsense yourself, shocking you didn’t like my initial comment.

        True, you’re allowed to come in here and pick a fight if you want to but I don’t see why you would want to.

          I’m not picking a fight. I have been patient and fair in all my responses. I’ve already said this many times, but people were already talking about the way women suffer from body policing when I first viewed this post.

            Your very first post was saying “men’s issues don’t matter because women have it so much worse”

              My first comment was that men do not experience body policing the same ways women do. That if you disagree you probably don’t understand misogyny. I never said that men’s issues don’t matter.

                That’s absolutely what you implied. And it’s the result of this line of conversation.

                You can’t just say “I never said men’s issues didn’t matter”. That’s an “I’m not touching you, I’m not touching you” level of technicality. If you’re going to bring up women’s issues, the very least you can do if you’re discussing in good faith is to acknowledge and legitimize the issues that prompted this post in the first place - the unrealistic body standards of men.

                By not even mentioning it until called out, you’re being dismissive.

                  I’m responding to misinformation, that’s my only reason for commenting. I never implied that men’s issues didn’t matter.

                    You don’t see how it could be belittling to aggressively ignore men’s issues, in a post about men’s issues, so you can talk about women’s issues?
