Many men believe that they have it worse than women, with the implication that feminism is to blame. They're wrong.
A survey published last month in the U.K. showed that many believe that men are worse off than women.The evidence overwhelmingly shows, however, that gender inequality favors men., based on a representative sample of over 3,700 residents in the U.K. Over a quarter of young men reported that they believe it is harder to be a man than a woman in society today. Even more young men, nearly a third of the sample, believe that in 20 years it will be harder to be a man than a woman.
The implication is that feminism is to blame for bringing men down: Over 50 percent of these young men reported that they believe that feminism hasn’t done any good, or if it has done any good, it has also has done at least an equal amount of harm. Levels of support in this sample for Andrew Tate, unabashed British misogynist andbully, are equally disturbing. What makes these results disturbing is that men—at least White men—will probably never have it worse off than women.
While men may never have it as bad as women, still, life is not easy for men. But the people most likely to make life difficult for them are not women. They are not feminists. They are other men. Who is most likely to bully men in the workplace? Other men. Who contributes most to workplace toxicity? Men. Who instigates violence toward men? Men.men have a case, however, that their lives may be as hard or harder than ethnic minority women.
This is not a screed against men, White or otherwise. Obviously not all men behave in toxic and violent ways, but it only takes a few to make life rough for many. In any case, any trouble men face should not be blamed on women. Indeed it is women and the hard work of feminists that are sorely needed to bring more empathy and care into social relations, and to correct cycles ofis a social psychologist who studies gender expectations as a central, guiding belief system that informs a range of political and social attitudes.
