No argument. Topics morph, and it's not TOO tangential a jump. But it was a response to rape culture comments. I had no intention of veering the topic that direction when I popped in originally.
what was your question? you type so much stuff at once I missed it.

we don't have societal issues with how we treat women by and large. I believe in recent times women generally are treated as do no wrong princesses and men are generally vilified. for the last few decades men are depicted in media as fat retards and women are depicted as wonder women who hold everything together. makes sense considering that women buy most of the stuff so marketing will be friendly to them.
hope that answers your question. I missed this question earlier.

Don't take it personal, but I can't take the MRA (men's rights activism) stuff and related stuff seriously. Like I can't help but laugh when white hetero males (I know, not you) complain how no one has it harder than them in America. The very 'snowflakery' they often accuse others of.
Similar when people complain that their Christianity is being attacked and repressed, when it's the prominent and undisputed dominant religion in this country and is so powerful it has its own rather massive lobby in our government trying to make laws based on it. Jews, Muslims, Hindus etc, can't say that.
But sure, I could have just ignored it and not responded with sarcasm, so my bad.
mra stuff is silly to me either. doesn't mean there isn't crossover between some of my beliefs and theirs.

But that's not actually something that's exclusive to women. Aren't you a fairly large guy overall? Or at least bigger than average? Well I'm not(I'm bigger than I've ever been and come in at just under 6' and 150 lbs) and can say that feeling exceptionally vulnerable when walking alone at night isn't something that's exclusive to women by any stretch of the imagination.
I think the problem most proponents of the idea of a rape culture seem to have is that they overlook the fact that when dealing with a population of 357 million even if only half of a single percent of the population were sexual predators it would still mean that there were 1,750,000 really nasty guys that women needed to be worried about. A large number of ne'er do wells's isn't reflective of an actual "rape culture" though simply a LARGE culture. Our culture as a whole absolutely abhors rapists which is why so many get angry when the term "rape culture" starts getting thrown around and people start making the accusation that others support such a thing.
IMO you're looking at the issue wrong. First of all there are MRA's of all colors, it's not strictly a thing for whites. And the fact is that men have less legal rights then women do. And don't get me wrong because there are a lot of MRA groups that are quite obviously whiney hate groups, I'm just pointing out that in theory the idea that men have it worse then women is absolutely sound within the realm of rights and restrictions granted by the government.
