    Men already have the right to vote, to own property, to the highest wages and dominion over their own bodies. What rights would they be standing up for ?

    Paternity leave, child custody, greater understanding for domestic and sexual violence against men... There are legitimate issues but yeah, sure, BarvoDelancy is of course right in most cases.

    Those issues you've listed are indeed legitimate ones.

    Because men rule the world. It's the same reason why white pride is a racist idea. When the odds are stacked in your favour in every conceivable way, and you then talk about how you're 'under attack' it usually means that your position of power is slightly less powerful.

    There are situations where sexism against men exists, just like how racism against white people can exist, but considering men rule the world, it's hard for me to get upset about them. And I'm a man.

    I don't agree.

    Men are sexist when they don't appreciate or acknowlege the fact that women should have equal opportunities ...

    Feminists believe each gender has equal rights.

    I am a staunch defender of equality across the board, and I also strongly believe that the feminization of political power around the world is an imperative for humanity to have a fighting chance at an acceptable future. However, as a man who is presently going through a divorce with two young children, I can also say that there are circumstances where men's rights can absolutely be trampled on.

    You can be a totally honorable man and do nothing wrong in your marriage, and your wife can cheat on you, divorce you for no reason other than her own mental problems, and take your children from you. The courts do not care about infidelity, nor do they care about perverse sexual behavior, unless you have incontrovertible proof that she directly exposed or involved the children in it. 9 times out of 10, the courts will give full custody of small children to the mother NO MATTER WHAT, and she is then free to bring some other man around your children, and your only recourse to protect them from whatever that might entail is through the legal system, in a reactive mode after the fact. This is reality; I know because I'm living through it myself as I type this.

    This is an experience too many men have. I appreciate that you haven't generalized from it and used it as an excuse to bash women.

    Absolutely not! I was raised by a single mother (my dad abandoned us), and saw her struggle for years to raise us, and I saw her go through the battered wife syndrome with an abusive, psychotic husband. I have absolutely seen both sides of the coin, and it is deplorable that the courts never seem to apply common sense and fairness, to treat the legitimate interests of both parties as equally valid. They just want to apply a simplistic formula to every situation and wash their hands of it.

    A lot of what some men consider rights are just privileges that they're used to.
