“Show me evidence of widespread misandry”
OK. Here we go...
1. There’s a violence against women/girls strategy but there isn’t one for boys/men despite males dying more from violence than women, & no where near the same snout of effort going into this issue
Men are hit
Men are raped
Men are forced
Men are kicked
Men are beaten
Men are abused
Men are punched
Men are exploited
Men are assaulted
Men are controlled
Men are gaslighted
Men are manipulated
Men are falsely accused
Men are sexually abused
