Men having rights is not stupid. "Men's Rights" is stupid, because we already have them. Any man who has fewer rights than a woman in modern society is discriminated as such because of something about them other than their gender.
It's like fighting for the rights of drivers of passenger cars on the road, or the rights of cute puppies to be adopted from the pet shop. It's like owning the Extended Edition of Lord of the Rings and demanding a scene that was in the theatrical cut. It's like buying a cheeseburger at McDonald's and specifying that you want it to include beef. It's like playing Smash Bros against level 1 CPUs with all weapons on and complaining that you didn't get the hammer. It's like fighting for LeBron's right to play basketball; to wit, nobody's stopping him.
I'm strong enough in my masculinity that I don't have to pretend to be oppressed just to feel good about myself.
That's not quite true. At least not in Norway. There are more women than men in higher education in Norway. Despite that fact, gender points is still a thing, and it still favours women heavily. These points makes it easier to get into the study you want.
The school system in general is designed around women. Girls in Norway are getting higher grades than boys when the tests are not anonmyized. When they're anonymized, the genders ties. Looks like the teachers subjective opinions has some negative implications for a lot of boys future
In general, a lot of places were women have it worse than men are being adressed. Sometimes retarded stuff are being adressed, like women fighting to get free menstrual products (paid for by taxes, so basically paid for by men). Yet 75% of suicides are done by men, and it's not being properly adressed.
I can go on a lot btw, I barely just scratched the surface.
I don't have anywhere near enough knowledge about Norwegian politics to be able to speak on any of that. All I can tell you is that, worldwide, men have all the rights, and women only have some of them.
By the way, I recommend against using the "R" word ("Sometimes r— stuff are being addressed"). It's a slur against people with mental illnesses.
