Yeah, I have to genuinely apologise for that. When I made that post I had just woken up from sleeping through the day and I think my brain was still on my pillow.
However, you'll have to specify what exactly you mean by "restricted health-care", because I can give you plenty of health care restrictions forced on men, too. It's not a gender issue.
Oh, look at this. Turns out women's healthcare received 4 times the funding that men's does despite men dying from it much more often.
As for the abortion thing, it's hardly sexism, it's religion. I don't understand why you'd want a feminist movement to fix issues like this when you could have an egalitarian movement to fix the issues of both sexes.
For example, how men are generally sentenced to, on average 63% longer prison terms than women for the same crime.
Or what about how more men are raped anually than women when counting prison rape?
OR how about how child custody rights are skewed massively in women's favour? (I know this article shows that there's statistics showing this isn't true, but fathers being unable to see their children except over Skype should hardly count in my eyes).
Feminsim doesn't care about these things, despite claiming they do. I've looked.
Notice how I'm not calling myself an MRA about this? Yeah, I wouldn't go around saying "white lives matter too", I'd say "all lives matter". (Not saying I'd ever get anywhere near the shit show of BLM, I'm making a point)

I would be much more inclined to indulge you regarding men's rights issues if you didn't
utilise them when a woman talks about women's issues. It's the same argument that's presented regarding the "All Lives Matter" bull shit where three people are eating dinner at a restaurant, they all order and two dishes arrive, the third friend says, "I want my food please," and his friends reply, "we
all want our food," before digging into their dinners. It's daft. It's the same reason why you probably don't call yourself an MRA; it's not a movement that aims to improve men's rights because there are issues (that I don't dispute the existence of), but because it's a reactionary group that spends more time gushing misogyny that actually getting shit done.
Also you're putting forth this idea that we must all drop our individual political and sociological movements to strive towards the greater good, and I can see why you think this is valid, and genuinely I don't believe you're saying it to be a cunt, but you have to see that there are so many disenfranchised groups with so many different problems that we cannot simply address them all with one unified egalitarian front. LGBT+ people need their own groups and spaces, same for women, same for POC, same for disabled people.
Also if you don't think religion and sexism are interrelated, and that religion is somehow separate from the wider issues of sexism in society, you're wrong.
Also also didn't you or Varrok cry about ever using HuffPo for sources due to them being liberal spooks?
Ultimately, what disappoints me is that if you genuinely cared about the issues that men face in society, including funding for healthcare and divorce rights, I would support you in your cause as an ally. If you made a thread talking about these problems, I wouldn't invade your thread and shitpost about how women have it harder, I would look to positively contribute and help where possible. But you haven't, so I can't, and instead of even considering that you could contribute and
help women, you just talk shit.
