men and discrimination
Much talk concerns discrimination- who is perpetrating it, why it is harmful, and what can be done about it. My question is why are men rarely considered as part of a cycle of discrimination and bias targeted at themselves? Society can be argued to be male dominated, depending on how you view things. Is agression so strong in men they are unable to criticize systems they help put in place and continue because that would be admitting weakness in itself? Let me give an example. I see a lot of guys of all ages who attack any male they see as weak, especially in all ways physical. Yet I have never heard anyone speak out against this even once in my lifetime. Women also seem to follow along the same lines that men use to discriminate against themselves. Perhaps it's just so normal no one even considers it. I am just curious what other people think about the emphasis on equal rights for women and empowering women while men are almost wholely ignored except to be viewed as a large part of oppression against women. I had no idea where this fit best, so into general it went.
