Men are oppressed in today's society.

To start off, I am female so most people assume I am a feminist, they are partially right. I do not believe in all the feminists who believe that women are above men now, no no I believe that everyone and I mean everyone is equal. Were we all put on this earth? Yes, and we all serve to be a part of history. So I am not really biased, I just think everyone is equal and I am interested in seeing your side. It is perfectly fine, sometimes things do not come out exactly the way we want them to, I get that. If you do not mind, I normally do my claims in paragraph form, I find it easier. I firmly believe in the rights of everyone, and equality. But the scientific fact of the matter is that things are never going to be equal between men and women. Some things are always going to be different about us, like our physical structures and brain structure. These things that I am talking about currently may not seem relevant, so let me explain. I originally went with a claim challenging just men being oppressed and not being treated equal, but after doing a bit of research I decided to tweak my claim a little bit if that"s all right. I am still con- against what your claim is. But now I am not for women being more oppressed than men. My new claim is: Women continue to fight for women"s rights/equality, now men are too, but the answer is just that it will simply never be perfectly equal. Basically, my stance here is that there should be no point in saying that one gender is more oppressed than the other, make sense? If not message me and I can explain more. I am still fighting against the fact that men are oppressed but I am also solving another problem by saying that people should not be comparing the genders. So men and women have a lot in common right, but we have even more that is not in common. Gender, body structure, and even different brain structures. Nothing will ever be completely equal between men and women, let me tell you why. So one main reason why it will never be completely equal is that of our brain structures being different. Nirao Shah was one of the first to really go into studying the differences in women"s and men"s brains in 1998. He centered his studies on mating, parenting, and aggression and the differences that the sexes had. At this time many people believed that when someone observed sex-associated differences it was because the people were influenced by culture, but really these are instincts needed to survive that are practically instinct. Here I am not saying that one gender is better than the other, but just that both sexes minds are so different. Studies show that women"s reading comprehension skills, as well as writing abilities, exceed that of men on average. They also tend to do better than men on tests of fine-motor coordination as well as speed. Women also have a bigger hippocampus which is associated with memory and learning. I think that this really shows that your evidence of "men have fewer numbers in universities than females" is true BECAUSE(emphasis not yelling) of how our brains are different and won"t be equal. This means that men are not really being oppressed here, just that their brain works differently and hence means that they might not all get into the best schools. But women are also more likely to get clinical depression in life, meaning that they do have more accounts of it than men, in this case, men are not being oppressed it is just simply the fact that females are more likely to get it.

In some of the same studies done by Niroa Shuh, they found out that men are more likely to become drug-dependant and alcohol dependent. First becoming dependant on these drugs often happens in high school, when teenagers have parties with alcohol and drugs. This means that they may get caught more (in the drug area at least) and be sent off to jail more. Men in this sense are really not being oppressed, they are just scientifically more likely to be going to jail. And while they get into gun-related deaths, they might have been under the influence. (SOURCE: https://stanmed.stanford.edu... ) As for the work-related problems of men being oppressed I already sort of addressed. Even if men do tend to work more than women do during the work week, they tend not to have as much focus so they might not get as much done. This isn"t the case for all men and frankly, scientific research doesn"t have anything to prove why the genders should not be paid equally. Men being oppressed in social situations has happened for a long time. That is mostly thanks to the media, social media, and games. Men are seen as dumb, obnoxious, and one-minded. When really that is not true for the majority of men on this earth. Media is the problem here about them being oppressed. Scientific facts have nothing to say about this, men are not always all of these traits, and these thoughts are created by media. Because I said a lot there and changed my claim a little, it can be confusing. If you are confused simply message me, I check about three times a day. So a recap - I am still fighting to prove that men are not really oppressed, but I am also trying to prove at this point that both genders are not going to be perfectly equal because of differences. So I believe that people should consider that no one is perfect, no gender is perfect, so one is not more oppressed than the other. Sorry, that was a lot, I had a lot to get out. As always if I am confusing you, leave a comment or drop a message. Until next round Negotiate, good luck
