Black text on a pink background reading: 'There is no "gender war." Women didn't take away men's right to vote. Women didn't ban men from education or property. Women didn't write laws controlling men's bodies. Women didn't build systems that stripped men of their freedom. The imbalance never ran both ways. @sheinspiresstrength'

I explained it to my sons when they were teens as such: just because in the past men were privililged to have more of the well paying employment than women and some males (rich, white, educated) had the best of those jobs, doesn't mean that today's men are unfairly disadvantaged when other men (of colour) and women (all) are also able to compete for those jobs. Blaming women and immigrants because you now have to compete with everyone else for employment isn't their fault, it is the fault of business and governments who have allowed the wealth imbalance that makes working for a living wage unobtainable for a growing portion of the population. The solution isn't being anti any group of working people. The solution is taking back control from the corporations and the 1%.
