Just to clear up any confusion: I'm not here to delegitimize men's struggles. I'm just hoping that we can finally start legitimizing women's. Regardless of what you've decided about me, I'm not "anti-men". I am, however, super "pro-women". You should be too.

This seems strange to me. Do you really perceive a society which focuses more on men's issues than women's ones? It seems very clear to me that feminism has a lot more power & influence than men's rights activism. (I disagree with both approaches, btw)

What's strange about her pointing out the imbalance in (scary) difficulties women face that men often aren't aware of or acknowledge? Do you really think that feminism is more powerful an influence on people's lives than the male-dominated societies it criticizes?

I'm not talking about male dominated societies and I don't think she is either. Talking about the US and the UK and yes, here I think there is much more attention on women's issues than men's. This kind of thing:pic.twitter.com/ZaorncaAzp

2. So although there is more overt activism over women's issues, this is also probably a reflection of the dynamic -- that there are (largely ignored, or accepted) norms that one side enjoys and another does not. One would expect a disparity, no?

I am unconvinced of this dynamic. I do think there are several norms one sex benefits from that the other does not but I think there is much more focus on when it is women who are disadvantaged and almost none on when men are.

eg, we hear a lot about women being expected to do more of the childcare but very little about it nearly always being women who are asked if they intend to return to work after having a child while men are seldom assumed to have that choice.
