I never said or never would say there aren't "actual important issues that women here care about". Nor would I ever say they shouldn't care about them. Nor would I ever say anyone shouldn't advocate for improvements to those issues. In fact, I am very passionate about many of those issues as a husband and father of a daughter as many of those issues directly impact my family and I personally lobby on behalf of them in all sorts of ways. So those aren't just "actual important issues that women here care about", they are actual important issues that men here also care about.

What I am commenting about are those here on this site with given every opportunity, seek to minimize, ridicule, and disparage anyone who dares bring up issues that are important to men, only one of which is disparate impact on 14 of the 15 leading causes of death, while at the same time tallying up as many de minimis issues as they can find in order to demonstrate the privilege of others. When one can't recognize one's own gender privilege, they probably shouldn't demand others recognize theirs.

Just sayin'
