Are men MORE oppressed than women today?
Superb Opinion

"suppressed" is more appropriate than "oppressed" and yes men are being suppressed in the western gynocentric society. they can't even express your emotions and feelings without being shouted down as sexist/misogynist/incel etc. or as "whiny, complaining, bitchy" etc. stating something that is true e. g. the divorce statistics can get you labeled as displaying "hate"
the natural competitiveness that boys have is being suppressed at a young age and deemed too "toxically masculine" and thus need to be pushed down at every single available opportunity. the ones who are mentally strong enough to fight this off as boys go on to become men like the Donald Trumps of the world, the Elon Musks of the world, the Andrew Tates of the world, the Mike Tysons of the world etc.
most boys however get beaten down and indoctrinated to accept being weak, soft, spineless, docile and participation trophy awards. boys don't receive encouragement anymore unless they're already at the top of the hierarchy e. g. the captain of the HS football team. everybody else is to one day be sacrificial lambs to die in a dangerous job whether on a construction site, in a bushfire, on the battlefield etc.
even today, a man wanting a young virgin supermodel wife (as unrealistic as it may be) is considered taboo but men must meet the unrealistic standards women insist they should be
I haven't even mentioned family courts/divorce courts, paternity fraud, reproductive rights, affirmative action, false rape accusations, domestic violence, suicide rates and by far the biggest issue men face is that these issues I've just mentioned gets swept under the rug
https://www.youtube.com/embed/dtVHnZX8E50it's not that these things are happening, it's that society is allowing this shit to happen
https://www.youtube.com/embed/XNrWuZV3jjwpeople will only be as good as society allows them to be and right now women have free reign and only men who have any value whether financial, social or genetic get to enjoy the same privileges (that is until the MeToo movement hits them)

The concept of oppression is complex and multi-faceted. It is important to understand that different individuals and groups can experience different forms of oppression based on their identities, such as race, gender, sexuality, religion, and more. Both men and women can experience different forms of oppression, but it is widely recognized that women face systemic inequalities and discrimination on a global scale.
For example, women often face lower pay, limited access to education and healthcare, and unequal treatment under the law. Women also experience gender-based violence at alarmingly high rates. On the other hand, men face their own challenges, such as toxic masculinity, stigma around mental health, and restrictive gender norms.
In conclusion, oppression is not a competition, and it is not productive to compare experiences of oppression between different groups. It is essential to work towards understanding and addressing all forms of oppression and creating a more equal and just society for everyone.
No one is "oppressed" today, unless they happen to live in a backwards, Third-World dictatorship or theocracy where virtually everyone is oppressed. In the West? Nope, not at all, so can we just STOP believing and promoting this garbage?

Absolutely.
Family Court and Child Custody: Women win most times, even when it is clear the man is the better parent.
Gyms: Men get called "creeps" just because they spaced out for a moment and their line of sight happens to be where a woman is walking.
Bystander effect: If a woman needs help, she will get it. If a man needs help, he can go fuck himself.
He said/ She says in a domestic: Man gets the cuffs and his professional reputation ruined.
Woman cries rape when it is false: Man loses everything. Nothing happens to woman when she admits she lied, but man cannot restore what he has lost.
Workplace Harassment: If a woman harasses a man, it is funny or deserved. If a man is accused of harassing a woman, game over, loss of job, you're out. If a workplace hostility situation happens, it is often the MAN who is relocated.
Cheating: If a woman cheats, there must be some reason for it. If a man cheats, he is a selfish asshole.
There are many more instances, but it would be too long to list.

In developed countries you can try to make the argument, but overall in the world, absolutely not. I do think the feminist movement at least in the US has become ridiculous though because it's not about equality anymore even though that's the so called definition. It's a lot about nitpicking the bad things because they have so little to complain about. I do think there are a fair share of women who realize that they have it good, but there are still too many women who don't, and it just makes them look bad. I'm not saying men have it better or worse in developed countries. I personally would much rather be a man, but I know there are even women who'd argue they have it better themselves. However, women in the world are definitely more oppressed than men still, and this is what feminists really should be fighting for, not the fact that the air conditioner is catered to men in the workplace and that they're judged harshly for having too much sex. Too much sex is literally bad for you by definition of the word "too"

I believe that men are more impressed than women in western culture today.
In any given situation if a woman cries wolf for bystanders to see. It is highly likely that they would rush to her aid in defense of the male offender.
If the roles were reversed and a man cried wolf towards a female agressor. Very few would take him seriously, or even go as far as to mock him.
Both sides see oppression, that is a fact.
Women more than likely receive far more domestic abuse and or physical/sexual abuse than men by far.
But oppression is different these days.
Male oppression is being afraid to offer help to a woman who is struggling at the gym in case they start recording and making you out to be a creepy stalker. Just for being friendly. It's offering a simple nod and a smile at a stranger for the sake of being nice. Only to see them clutch their bag, glance away and nervously smile. Because they are just as scared as we are. It's having the fear of approaching someone with the intent of building a relationship with said person, only to be falsely accused of sexual harassment.
Just because the male oppression isn't a physical form, like lesser pay, restrictions on how much we can or can't show of our body in public or how we have to pay for tampons. Doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Male oppression in my opinion, is the emotional malnutrition state they live and breathe every day due to the way society has built itself.
Oppression of any and all things is bad. But I feel like men's is slightly worse due to the lack of recognition it gets, the lack of acknowledgement it receives. - 902 opinions shared on Girl's Behavior topic.
they always were. did men ever have the option to stay at home and care for the children? did men ever have the option just not to take part in a war when their country was struggeling? was it ever "men and children first" when a boat sank? men were historically always more opressed. and they historically accepted that out of love for their women. but since women have turned into ungrateful bitches, the oppresion has become even worse.

reasons we should work on equality:
1. 90%+ of military deaths - male
2. 90%+ workplace deaths - male
3. Majority of college grads - female
4. super majority of incarcerated people - male
5. super majority of murder victims - male
6. higher unemployment - male
7. Majority of homeless - male
8. Affirmative action beneficiaries - female
9. Win child custody 90% of the time - female
Yet feminists crying victim and asking for more free rides all the time, fuck women

Here in the west, I think 98% of "oppression" is self perpetuated. Equal rights and equal opportunity has been the law for 60 years now.
(Minus the unconstitutional laws that will strip people of their rights that are in the works.)
Of course this doesn't stop the predjudice of individuals but ultimately the only thing that holds someone back is themselves.
Only in the west do we have celebrities standing on red carpets, before national TV, raking in tens of millions in income, complaining about how they're "oppressed" and the system is rigged against them.
Specifically for the question and from a male's perspective: I do not feel oppressed. However I do feel the need to be more cautious these days because now a simple look in someone's direction and they'll claim sexual harrassment. That I have been accused of, and so have several people I know. It's not true, obviously, but that's what we deal with. -
Not more oppressed. Women aren’t oppressed in any modern western industrialized nation and ALL men are.
So men are not MORE oppressed, they’re the only ones oppressed when examining oppression by gender. -
Seeing that there has never been a law oppressing a man for being a man, the women clearly are more oppressed now and historically.
Women couldn’t even join the military and vote past this decade. Women make up 51% of the population but only 19% of Congress. -
Men have always been more oppressed.
Here's an analogy from Ancient Chinese history.
Every Chinese man was conscripted as soon as he turned 20. But the generals and officers were picked from a group of men who were smart enough to pass an exam. Outside of the school where the boys studied, were brothels.
Society is like this... maybe one out of the ten graduates and goes on to enjoy a luxurious life. Whereas all of the prostitutes are guaranteed something.
Another point to consider is that 5-15% of men to ever live actually had children of their own. Whereas almost all women had children, which is the ultimate privilege in life.

Government oppresses all of us and then gets us to argue so that we do not see what they are doing.

Depends on the topic. Women are oppressed in terms of "victim hood". Men are oppressed in terms of there "reputation".
Men have it worse. -
