Any argument that you put up here falls apart when you look at the percentage of men who are convicted in rape cases.

In some families and workplaces women are the oppressors. Anyway according to Jordan Peterson inequality is inevitable- man needs values lead to hierarchies lead to inequality- men are different than women and so tend to fill different roles and have different power "sources".

There is no government agency that deals with abuse against men. Men by definition are the perpetrators and women are by definition the victims- how is this objective and unbiased- it's not- pure prejudice!

I expect that young children are abused by women at least as much as by men- but they don't have a voice. Sometimes the solution is not to revert to the legal system to solve the problem but to appeal to standards of behavior and cultural norms through grass roots community based institutions. Patrick Deneen seems to believe this.

I said to my wife last night: how many bloody International Women's Days are there? They seem to come around every month.

OK. It seems that way because we are always being beaten about the head with tales of how terrible life is for women, and what a rotten lot we men are. It's a part of identity politics and division: the stuff that is tearing society apart.

Personally, I think most women are fine, and most men are not ogres. But, I have to say that the more I hear from a few embittered harpies who have missed the bus, the more wary and uncomfortable I am around women.

Give a dog a bad name, and …..

While a tiny section of " women" may hate all men universialy!? I'm sure that is not the concensus among the other half of the human race!

In fact, I believe that most of the female population tolerate or like or love blokes. Particularly those new age men that are there when it matters, at the birth and there when there is housework to share!?

And we need to take care least the pendulum swings too far the other way! And simply create a nation of singles, who don't care for what commitment/family life entails?

It's been going on for ever.

Back just after the war we were living in Townsville. The next door neighbor kid & I were inseparable, spending as much time in each others homes as our own, & thus becoming invisible. Thus I was there when the bank manager father came home one afternoon.

These were the days of the little lady, & men ruling the roost. As pre teen I thought nothing about such things, but was a little surprised to see him hand his wife his unopened pay packet. She opened it, extracted a small amount, his pocket money for the week, 10 bob I think, & pocketed the rest.

I found this interesting, so watched at home, finding a repeat of the practice there. None of these oppressed women worked, but had total control of the family finances. My mother did the "Oslo" lunches at the school on Tuesday, follower by lunch at a strand restaurant, played tennis on Wednesday, & Bridge on Thursday.

How the hell did these women fall for the "right" to hold down a full time job as promoted by the Womens Lib Movement, when they had it so good as a full time mother?
