Death and crime:
- Men are 77% of murder victims and are the majority of murder victims at every age.
- Men are 93% of workplace deaths and accidents and tend to hold more dangerous jobs than women.
- Men globally commit suicide far more often than women. In the US, not only are they the considerable majority, but Native Americans and white men die the most often. More statistics are available at suicide.org but regardless of the source it's really easy to see that there's a catastrophically high suicide rate for men. (And when feminists say "what about the women" I think this explains it fairly well)
- Men are the majority of victims for just about every crime, particularly black men. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, men are 61% of assault victims, 80% of robbery victims, and 63% of victims for all "crimes of violence."
- Traffic-related accidents kill more men than women.
- The World Health Organization has a whole page on violence against women, but not a page for violence against men. If you go digging through their website, it turns out violence against men isĀ TWICE as worse. Men outnumber women in everything as victims of injury or violence, except when it comes to fire-related death or injury (14% of men vs 7% of women overall, with men clearly the majority of victims of violence).
Economy and housing:
- 51.3% of the homeless population is just adult men. 24.7% are adult females and 24% are families/children with people of both genders. Stanford points out that 60-70% of homeless people are male (the 2013 version of their source doesn't include gender breakdowns). Worldwide, the homeless male population is estimated to be 75-80%.
- 6 out of 7 people living in poverty are allegedly male. More reliable sources state that men and women are almost equally likely to be poor; this 1994 study also found that men are more likely to be employed and less likely to be a single parent, which is a primary contributing factor to the pay gap. The 2011-2012 US census found that 19% of citizens live in poverty and there is almost no gender gap (something which has remained consistent for over a decade). However, child poverty continues to rise.
- Women control more overall wealth than men and spend more. Men are responsible for only 17% of consumer purchases.
- Women control 88% of spending and 75% of household finances.
- 45% of millionaires are women and the number of wealthy women in the U.S. is growing twice as fast as the number of wealthy men. On the opposite end of the scale, men are becoming poorer than women at an accelerated rate.
- 50% of estates worth more than $5 million are controlled by women, compared with 35% controlled by men and 15% controlled jointly.
- The majority of stocks are owned by women.
- The “wage gap” doesn’t exist despite frequent (inaccurate) claims that “women earn 77 cents for every dollar men make.” In some instances, it’s sometimes the reverse and women make more than men. Single women under 30 are making up to 20% more money than their male counterparts.
- Men tend to have crappier jobs than women, but important jobs regardless. There are lots of reasons why the “wage gap” argument can be easily dismissed, aside from it simply being incorrect.
- The apex fallacy and the "glass cellar"
Child custody, domestic violence, divorce:
- Paternity fraud exists (another link here).
- Women receive custody in about 84% of child custody cases. This is due to feminists who claimed men were unfit to raise children. Also see: the "Best Interests of the Child" doctrine, which violates the 14th amendment but is still practiced. The Tender Years doctrine is no longer an "official" policy but courts still give custody to women by default. There's disinformation saying men get custody more than women but I have a few posts on that.
- Women can give away their children without consulting with the biological father.
- Family courts are biased against men.
- Joint custody laws have been shown to cut the divorce rate. It is unsurprising that most child support agencies often strongly oppose them, along with most family lawyers, since they gain more money by separating couples. There’s also a financial motivation for giving custody to women (2) instead of men/both.
- Over half of divorce lawyers have noticed an increase (although by how much we don't know) in women paying child support, but this can still be an issue (along with alimony). Along with the "deadbeat dad" stereotype (most men will end up in jail) there are also "deadbeat moms." 27% of men and 29% of women did not recieve child support payments. 34% of men and 42% of women recieved payment in full.
- A woman is the party filing for divorce in about 66% of divorce cases.
- Women are just as likely to kill their children as men (difference of 3%) or more and male babies are murdered more often than female babies.
- Women are statistically more likely to abuse the child they have custody of. In child abuse cases, the mother is the sole perpetrator (or acting with someone other than the father) in 42.3% of cases. The father was the sole abuser (or acting with someone other than the mother) in 19.9% of cases.
- From 2001 to 2006, 71% of child abuse/murder cases were perpetrated by women and 60% of the victims were male.
- The Duluth Model of domestic abuse unfairly targets men (another source) (and another)
- Researchers are bullied into ignoring male victims of abuse or they don't include information on female abusers.
- Most domestic abuse research and programs are biased and refuse to acknowledge male victims, or treat them with blatant hostility.
- Hundreds of studies show that domestic violence is committed almost equally by women and men (and here is a list of over 500 studies from 1977 to 2013), yet female shelters greatly outnumber male shelters. In cases of one-way violence, the man is the victim 70% of the time. Regardless of beliefs, it is a fact that women commit just as much (if not more) domestic abuse as men.
- Only 9 states in the USA have shelters which offer help to abused men.
- Men are victims more often than women when dating.
- Women are more likely than men to stalk, attack and psychologically abuse their partners, according to a University of Florida study. The study also mentions that abused children are more likely to become abusers, which is interesting given that male children are abused more than female children (see above). Side note: this article victim-blames, specifically saying that victims may have "deserved" their abuse, so take some information with a grain of salt.

Military:
- Selective service is mandatory for men, who are also nearly all US combat deaths. If you don't sign up for selective service you will lose almost all rights, including the right to vote.
- On the Vietnam Veterans Memorial wall, almost all casualties are male and only 8 names on the wall are female.
- Men are expected to die for their country, without question, and do (which is why they’re 99% of combat deaths). Survivors of the military often suffer effects like PTSD (20-40%) or were raped.
- Rape culture primarily affects members of the military and male prisoners.
The justice system and prison:
- Women tend to get lighter sentences than men for the same crimes, and are acquitted more often, yet few people call attention to this gender gap. Men get 14x longer sentences according to the PRB. Black men are impacted the most by sexism and racism (2) when it comes to incarceration.
- Some people aim to keep women out of prison (and in the UK)
- The prison population is 93% male. There are now over 7 million Americans incarcerated, on probation, or on parole. This is an increase of about 300% since 1980 (350% over 40 years) and has risen the most among high school drop-outs.
- Many prisoners are not serving sentences for violent crimes. 7.9% of sentenced prisoners in federal prisons (as of September 30, 2009) were in for violent crimes.
- 1/3rd of all prison exonerations have been men that were wrongfully convicted of sexual assault.
- More prison information
- Long article on rape culture in prison, the failed war on drugs, racist laws, and more: https://nplusonemag.com/issue-13/politics/raise-the-crime-rate/
- Rape culture primarily affects male prisoners and members of the military.
- A 2004 Study of teacher sexual misconduct showed bias which favored women. 4% of female teachers are punished or reprimanded, despite students reporting almost equal numbers when it came to teacher gender (57% male, 43% female). Almost 100% of male teachers are punished.
- Men are more likely to get tickets for driving than women.
- Title IX is beginning to negatively impact sports programs at universities, which primarily effects men. Feminist organizations are attempting to force women to participate in programs they don't want to, while simultaneously cutting programs men enjoy.
- Colleges are told that they need to have more rape cases, leading to an increase in false accusations of rape. Falsely accused men have begun suing colleges (2)
Politics and society:
- A gender gap which favors women. (role reversal, etc.) (someone claimed to debunk the statistics about pay in this woman's article, but no)
- Women are viewed more positively than men, just for being women.
- Men have body standards, often near-impossible to achieve, much like the issues women face. This includes being objectified in the media and movies, because sex sells and porn is popular among both genders, along with disorders such as bulimia and anorexia (more) (more)
- A TODAY/AOL Body Image survey found that men worry about their appearance more than they do about their health, family, relationships or professional success. Over half of men said they felt insecure about their appearance at least once a week.
- Eating disorders are faced by both genders
- Drugs: steroids, etc.
- More female voters than male voters means that men don’t get as much of a say in elections than women do. Women have more control over who is voted into office.
- Men don’t really have reproductive rights (2) (3)
- Demonization of male sexuality
- Feminists claim that it’s impossible to be sexist toward men, despite this not being true at all.
- Feminism is viewed as necessary, while Men’s Rights are seen as worthless, even though feminists often fight to harm men (alternate link here).
- Men and women are equally likely to be stalked
- "Rape culture" isn’t a thing. The “1 in 4 women are raped” statistic is wildly inaccurate and the actual numbers are closer to 1-in-250 or 1-in-1876. Numbers for both women and men are often unreliable due to biased methods of gathering data.
- More bias against fathers
- General bias against men and marginalization. Yes, there’s lots of bias against men. I don’t like infowars because I've seen many articles that were biased or made-up, but here’s something which is close to the truth on some points.
- "Depressed, repressed, objectified: are men the new women?" by Elizabeth Day
Education:
- Women earn the majority of degrees.
- Women outnumber men on college campuses. The number of women graduating college is skyrocketing, while the numbers for men are stagnating.
- Prior to college, schools use teaching methods that advantage girls more than boys (2) and as a result, boys are academically left behind (2).
- There are over 700 Women’s Studies programs on colleges and universities throughout the United States teaching thousands or tens of thousands of classes from the feminist perspective, but not one program or class teaching men’s studies from the masculist perspective.
- Women get more scholarships than men, whose options are already very limited, despite already being the majority of college-goers.
Health:
- Women live longer than men.
- Male circumcision provides no benefits and multiple drawbacks (one being potential death) but is completely legal.
- Female genital mutilation is almost nonexistent, while almost no one seems to care about male genital mutilation. Over 100 male babies die every year from MGM in the USA, and many more worldwide.
- Prostate cancer kills nearly as many men as breast cancer does women, with practically none of the attention or care. Breast cancer receives so many awareness campaigns and research funding because it’s the most common cancer type diagnosed in women and is also earlier diagnosed and more fatal for women. Research on prostate cancer is not receiving close to the same amount of funding, despite having similar fatality and incidence rates as breast cancer is probably due to another factor. Possibly because prostate cancer tends to affect men later in life, when people are more likely to be considered burdens on society, and therefore is likely a combination of male disposability and age-based discrimination.
Rape and sexual abuse:
- Boy victims of sex trafficking ignored. The United Nations reportĀ Trafficking in Persons: Global Patterns, noted, "it is men especially who might be expected to be trafficked for forced labor purposes."
- Female pedophiles cause children more harm, according to the University of Bergen
- Most countries try to exclude male victims of rape by having their own special pro-female definition of rape. Feminists support this.
- Men were 43% of victims of unwanted sexual contact/experiences in 2012 (not counting prison). Of 13,943,000 reported events, 6,027,000 victims were male. The definition of rape also excludes the majority of male victims, skewing statistics by putting them in a separate category. Of 2,537,000 reported rapes (unwanted penetration), 1,267,000 victims were men… which means 49.94% of rape victims are male (and of these, 79.2% - 1,003,464 men - reported being raped by women).
- If you include the statistics from prison-only rape, that means the US has more male victims of rape than female victims of rape. It’s estimated that 300,000 men and 5,000 women are raped or abused in prison every year. If you include the CDC statistics of 2,837,000 rapes in 2010 (unwanted penetration), 1,567,000 victims were men, which means 55.23% of rape victims are male.
- 94% of sexually abused youth in correctional facilities reported being abused by female staff even though 40% of the staff is female.
- "The Justice Department seems to be saying that prison rape accounted for the majority of all rapes committed in the US in 2008, likely making the United States the first country in the history of the world to count more rapes for men than for women." (source 1) (source 2)
- Up to 16% of prisoners are raped each year.
- More on prison rape
- Male victims of statutory rape can be made to pay child support. This is legal in most states, including Kansas.
- A study of US college women found that 12% of the respondents reported ever using any type of force strategy, 43% reported using a coercion strategy, and 92% reported using a seduction strategy to initiate sex.
