I was thinking hard about what point or takeaway i wanted to give everyone as we all celebrate Men's Day. I think on days like this its good to do two things: celebrate the good things, and also be more aware of ways in which men can be the target of sexism, regardless of how that might compare to the oppression of women which is a topic for the other days out of the year.

I think one of the most important examples of sexism against men is the way they are treated when seeking help as the victim of physical or sexual abuse. In the vast majority of cases they are either turned away or appalingly often accused of being the abuser themselves if you can beleive that. The problem is massively common as the graph below shows.

Im not sure what we should do about it but i am sure we shoukd be aware of it.

@freemo No mention of the unlaful unconstitutiona; matriarchy running the domestic and family courts. This is where men really get abused.

@meowski I decided to focus on one thing only. But yes that can be an issue when it comes to child custody or even divorce hearings I'd imagine. It would be harder to get clean data on though too, I like to confirm accusations.
