1. actually, women attempt suicide more, but typically they choose less violent methods (it is theorized this is as they don’t want their family or friends to find them with their brains blown out, but more studies are needed to prove this) and therefore their suicide isn’t as successful (source). so, this is incorrect

2. studies show that this is because women outperform men academically, therefore they are more likely to seek higher education. (source). again, this is incorrect.

3. again, incorrect. gosh, this isn’t looking too good for you! studies show that statistically mothers are far more involved with children before custody battles, a reason for the ‘bias’. and, only 4% of custody cases go to court. (sourceandsource)

4. wow, this is incorrect too! i almost feel bad for you. anyways, women are actually very underrepresented in homelessness statistics, women are more likely to have children that are homeless, women are less likely to be involved in crime, etc. (source)

5. majority of studies that had this data are old and from the 20th century, new studies prove this is not the case (source). it’s getting kind of embarrassing, you know, all these things that prove you wrong ;)

6. this is the only one where you are partially correct. indeed, prostate cancer is underfunded but this is mainly because of a metric that doctors use called ‘years of life lost.’ breast cancer that is deadly mainly affects younger women, resulting in more years of life lost. (source) however deadly prostate cancer is more likely to affect older men, resulting in less years of life lost. (source) however i agree that prostate cancer is underfunded, but there is a valid reason.

7. 86% of rape victims are women (source)

gosh, i feel so bad for you :) that basically all of this :) was proved wrong :)

It’s not ’feminist bias against them’ which mean that male victims of rape and sexual assault aren’t taken seriously but that other men don’t take it seriously. Most, if not all, feminists recognise it as an issue and will respect men who come forward about their history of sexual abuse. It’s other men who harass them for it.

And let’s not forget that women are also not taken seriously too. It’s a massive societal issue which doesn’t just affect men.
