Why are women’s issues blamed on society but men’s issues blamed on men?

Because those societies are gynocentric.
Women can do no wrong and men can do no right.

Because females have bribed us with sex to subdue us we are afraid to squawk.

Because the conversation often focuses on different perceived causes, sometimes to a fault.

Women’s issues have historically been framed as resulting from legal, cultural, and institutional barriers, things like discrimination, unequal expectations, or harassment. As a result, people tend to look outward at society when discussing them.

Men’s issues, on the other hand, are often framed as consequences of traditional ideas about masculinity. People may say, “Men don’t seek help,” “Men don’t talk about their feelings,” or “Men created these norms,” which can make it sound as though individual men are solely responsible for problems like high suicide rates, loneliness, or dangerous work.

The reality is more nuanced. Many men’s issues also have societal causes: expectations to be stoic, pressure to be the provider, stigma around vulnerability, biases in family courts, lack of mental health support, and social isolation don’t exist in a vacuum. Likewise, women also make personal choices within societal constraints.

A more productive approach is to recognize that both men’s and women’s challenges are shaped by a mix of personal responsibility and social influences. Blaming “society” for one group and “individuals” for the other creates a double standard that oversimplifies complex problems. Compassion and accountability shouldn’t be gendered, they should apply equally to everyone.

Because men for thousands of years created the societies and issues we both suffer from

Men at the top, you might as well say humans created human problems so every individual is at fault.

[Agape93]

To varying degrees, yes. But men are the ones most at fault for how shit goes for them in society, in governance, in relationship dynamics etc.

That's retarded, I can blame how all blacks are treated since blacks commit the most crimes then. As if individuals are able to stop what others do

[Agape93]

Yeah you can if you want, because the data is there to justify that mindset. If demographic X commits the most theft of purple dildos by far, you'd be justified in hiding your purple dildos when a member of demographic x comes around.

Women are the ones writing these articles.

What kind of problems, for example?

[Deserter3]

Issues dating, homelessness, unemployment, stress, literally any

Men are better than women at solving problems or living with them. Because women are more emotional and have a need for protection, their problems tend to spill over into society.
