Why is it that women are always singled out when it comes to “women’s issues,” while men are rarely singled out when it comes to “men’s issues”?

Question

For example, since women experience sexual assault far more often than men, campaigns and initiatives are typically framed as “Stop sexual violence against women and girls.” Similarly, if Black women were being killed at the same rates as Black men, the movement would be called “Black women’s lives matter.” Instead, because the majority of Black people being killed are men, the focus is on “Black lives matter,” not “Black men’s lives matter."

You should read “The Myth of Male Power” by Warren Farrell. It will answer all of your questions on that particular issue.
One of the statistics that stood out to me is still true to this day. Out of the ten deadliest conditions for women in the US, nine kill men at higher rates than they kill women. Yet we still spend almost four times as much money researching, diagnosing and treating women’s health issues as we spend doing the same for men’s health issues.
I was pleasantly surprised when men and boys finally got a month for increasing awareness of their health issues. Imagine my surprise when feminists everywhere protested this. Some going so far as publicly suggesting that all men should die. Not one social media ban for it either. But post empirical evidence debunking the wage gap, and get banned from any given social media platform. That’s another fantastic book by Warren Farrell, “Why Men Earn More (and What Women Can Do About It)”.

The honest answer? Because the world cares and sympathizes more with women and children. Adding those makes it more powerful of a statement. The same is simply not true for men.

It isn't really that novel of a thing. As a species we are designed that way and society reinforces it.

Because women do come with a plethora of issues that get the campaigns and such. Women push more for these campaigns as men do not.

Selective outrage is what modern feminism is all about. They have to make EVERYTHING about gender, so they invent terms like "femicide".
