Men’s Rights

How can acknowledging the issues men face benefit the broader conversation on gender equality?

 @9J2ZNRCfrom Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

I think the acknowledgment of men’s rights on gender equality would benefit the “male” gender in terms of fair treatment.

 @9J2ZMB9from Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

we need fair rights whether you are a woman or a man doesn't matter

In what ways do you think media influences your understanding of what it means to 'be a man' today?

What are your thoughts on compulsory military service for men in some countries, and should this practice continue?

 @9HS73CL from Quebec  answered…2yrs2Y

I think military service should be mandatory for men because I believe it teaches discipline and helps men become more mature because of strict responsibilities taught in the military and gives men structure in their lives. Men should have the same rights as women. Women are now more likely to have a college or university degrees than men which shows feminism has gone too far. There is no wage gap between men and women it is false. Men make more money on average because of differing career choices not because of discrimination by gender. Feminism is now fighting for superiority to men not equality.

Bernie Sanders Charges Ahead As Democrats Stall Out

Bernie Sanders launched a tour in red states like Iowa and Nebraska to rally opposition to Donald Trump’s agenda, drawing massive crowds—thousands in Omaha and overflow audiences in Iowa City.Unlike the Democratic Party’s muted response to Trump’s election, Sanders is actively challenging the administration’s plutocratic policies, focusing on billionaire influence and federal deregulation.In Iowa City, Sanders spoke to packed venues, delivering back-to-back speeches to accommodate attendees, a first in his political career, highlighting his enduring appeal.He criticized Trump’s inner circle, including billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg, who attended the inauguration, and warned of their control over federal agencies.Sanders galvanized the crowd with historical references—suffrage, slavery, independence—urging grassroots action to counter Trump’s planned $1 trillion tax cuts for the rich and cuts to programs like Medicaid.Attendees expressed frustration with Democratic leaders like Hakeem Jeffries, calling their opposition to Trump weak or nonexistent, while praising Sanders for providing direction.Sanders highlighted the slim Republican House majority (three seats), suggesting constituent pressure could sway vulnerable GOP members to block Trump’s reconciliation bill.Early signs show GOP walkbacks—like Trump’s false claim Medicaid won’t be cut—after outrage over federal grant pauses disrupted services, proving grassroots impact.The crowd, mostly liberal, cheered Sanders’ defense of reproductive rights and jeered Trump’s USAID cuts and Zelensky attacks, though some noted a shift in his base—younger Trump supporters absent.Sanders ended with Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, framing the fight as a timeless struggle against billionaire rule, inspiring attendees like Audrey to re-engage and Erin to find hope in solidarity.
