@MichaelGLFlood Maybe Australia is some patriarchy where men have all the power, but that isn't true in the United States. The United States is trying to do something similar and there are good reasons why a council or ministry for men and boys would improve society.
"Since the 1980s, women have made up the majority of those seeking bachelor’s degrees. By 1999, women received 57% of bachelor’s degrees, and it has been that way more or less for almost two decades" (wsj.com/articles/histo…).
@MichaelGLFlood@TIME@usnews@PolitiFact@PunditFact Is your evidence that "men" are in control that "[m]en were 84% of … cabinet ministers, 80% of … ministers, and 70% of Federal parliamentarians, in 2019"?
You realize, Dr. @MichaelGLFlood, that your reasoning is fallacious as most men will never have that kind of power, yes?
@TheMightyV24@JonesApathy@FoaChris@DianaWintah You have made this argument before (archive.ph/Ggii9), but, @TheMightyV24, you still haven't explained why was it necessary for the study you cited then to excise 5/6s of the data regarding men to show that women "receive much longer sentences than men."
@TheMightyV24@JonesApathy@FoaChris@DianaWintah "Gender Differences in the Sentencing of Felony Offenders" cited by @TheMightyV24 showed that if numbers are manipulated enough (by taking a random sample of a sixth of the male convicts and compare it with all of the female convicts), women could be shown getting treated worse.
@TheMightyV24@JonesApathy@FoaChris@DianaWintah Consider, instead, Sonja B. Starr's "Estimating Gender Disparities in Federal Criminal Cases," University of Michigan Law and Economics Research Paper, No. 12-018 (August 29, 2012) (available at papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…) showing that women get shorter sentences (when prosecuted).
@UKLabour I agree that violence is a human rights violation ― full stop.
Domestic violence does not appear to be as gendered as you portray it to be, @UKLabour, but let's look at the data, shall we.
@UKLabour Consider "Intimate terrorism by women towards men: does it exist?" by Denise A. Hines and Emily M. Douglas published in July 2010 in Volume 2, Issue 3, of the _Journal of Aggression, Conflict and Peace Research_ (available at www2.clarku.edu/faculty/dhines…).
@UKLabour "Research showing that women commit high rates of intimate partner violence … against men has been controversial because [intimate partner violence] is typically framed as caused by the patriarchal construction of society and men’s domination over women" (Supra, p. 36).
@CarolineGatti3@SeptimusSulla@Suffragentleman@UN_Women "Research showing that women commit high rates of intimate partner violence … against men has been controversial because [intimate partner violence] is typically framed as caused by the patriarchal construction of society and men’s domination over women" (Supra, p. 36).
@CarolineGatti3@SeptimusSulla@Suffragentleman@UN_Women "The results of this study indicate that the adherence to the theory that patriarchy is the foundation of [intimate terrorism] in Western, developed nations deserves reconsideration."

@melliflora@RestlessZoomer@Untega@MyUteri “Sons are permanent members of their natal families and retain life-time contractual relationships with their parents. Throughout their lives, they are expected to contribute to the economic well-being of their parents” (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…).
@SocialWorkerLSW, you just repeated your prior claim regarding the pay gap without producing any supportive evidence to back up your claim after your claim has been refuted with evidence from left-leaning, centrist, and governmental sources.
@SocialWorkerLSW@Oneiorosgrip@BLS_gov@pewresearch American Time Use Survey (with 2017 as an example) shows that women on average are not spending enough more time with their kids, doing chores, or anything else to justify women's lack of time working.
On average, men just work more in America (considering both paid and unpaid).
