    Conscription, parental treatment especially during custody battles are some of the things often talked about where I live. Especially the former one is one of the most blatant examples of men and women being treated differently. But it’s not very high on the agenda for feminist orgs.

          Their agendas focus on the current biggest issues.

          Which, if resolved correctly, would benefit at least your first problem, possibly the second one too.

          So I don’t see any problem here.

            The point was the how little attention it gets. Those agendas isn’t going to give anyone who finds that their main thing much hope

              No, because, and I say that with love towards you, it’s not a main issue right now for society.

              I understand that it is the main issue for you right now. And I need you to understand that if that’s the case, you are not on the top of the priority list because there are people who are worse off.

              If you are currently battling for custody, it sounds terrible, and I feel for you. I can’t imagine what’s that like. If I can do anything for you, let me know.

                  Well, yes.

                  Feminism won’t fight for every issue right now.

                  But it will still help you regardless of what you’re missing.

                    That gets us nicely back to start of the discussion. Feminism might recognize men’s issues, it just doesn’t consider them very important to deal with right now. Even when it’s something like conscription that’s the biggest and most blatant legal discrimination there is in my country.
