The gap in life expectancy between American men and women is now the biggest it has been since the mid-1990s—almost six years.

    It feels like if the issue involves men it is not considered important. Boys struggle in school more now but only girls get attention, young men die to violence more, middle aged men die to suicide more, etc.

      As a man, I’m okay with this. Take care of others, first. I have been afforded a myriad of privileges simply because my genitals are external. We could do with less men, honestly. I know a lot of misogynistic assholes and the world would have been better if they’d been aborted or castrated.

            They aren’t wrong though. UnknownHandsome’s views are truly abhorrent.

              Yeah but you do not converse with insulting somebody. If you want someone to change opinions maybe be a bit nice

            The dude they’re responding to literally said he was fine with men dieing.

        Correct thing to do is treat everyone equally, not to change the unfair advantage into a disadvantage. Thats not equality.
