How to identify men’s issues?


One simple but quite effective way is to refer to a book, article or web resource by a famous, “authoritative”, and “highly regarded” feminist. You will soon see yourself that the “problems” they are shouting to have been facing are really faced by men; not by women. This way one may easily identify men’s problems if one is not carried away by their “wind” and if one has independent thinking capability which does not get affected by their “main stream” thinking, although this methodology can’t be considered a universal tool to identify men’s problems.

Now, somebody asked me to give a thought about how men can handle evil women. Awareness among men could be a first step in the right direction. Although the goal is very far, “a thousand miles journey begins with a step”.

Somebody told that the number of men harassed is less than the number of women harassed. If I were to adopt the “feminist” style, “What is the percentage cut off for the harassment to be qualified as “more”? How can you PROVE that men are LESS harassed?”
Now if I adopt the humble style of a contemporary man, still I can say “Take the number of women harassed and the number of feminists, feminist writers, quantity of published feminist literature; same way write down the number of men harassed, number of people who write about men’s issues and corresponding literature; Now from these figures, don’t you think the contemporary men don’t have any voice and men’s issues are hardly expressed and need ex-pression? Moreover, in the present fast moving world, the “movement” during one year can be more than the “movement” during hundred years of a previous century; so, if men lag by one year in the present world, it could be equivalent to a lag of hundred years in previous centuries; so, pushing men down on account of the so called pushing down of women in olden days can not be justified since this “pushing down men for revenge” does much more than just taking a “just revenge”; moreover, it is not quite right to take revenge on men for their so called earlier faults if everybody believes in the happiness and equality for ALL; taking revenge may only tend to make the pendulum swing to and fro.”

Someone asked “which man is burnt alive for dowry?”
First answer me, “which innocent woman is convicted of dowry harassment case? Which good woman is accused of sexual harassment? Which woman has been roared at for righting about women’s issues?”

Someone told “if someone speaks harsh against women, it will remain in their mind”
I can say that men have better hearts; why all expect men to become heartless brutes? Just because if they MAKE men heartless, then men can be proved heartless, they can be scorned, their harassment may be justified, they may be punished and hence women can get “enjoyment”?

Finally someone asked “you are righting like this because you can’t face women in the work place?”
I would like to say: “Do you think there is the slightest possibility that a person who can write like this can ever be less competent than flirtatious and carefree girls?”
