This a bizzare and very misguided metaphor that doesn't work at all. Men aren't oppressed on a systematic way due to their gender and the few things that do negatively effect men exclusively on the basis of gender is always a microcosm of misogyny because whether you like it or not society has heavily catered to men. Some men are oppressed, but it's never because they're men, but because they're apart of another minority group that is mistreated by society. Comparing anecdotal experiences of men being absent / neglectful parental figures to the prison system feels overdramatic and comes off like a post Elon Musk would retweet to own the libs
I disagree. I don’t think most black guys have a preference for being told they’re statistically more likely to be deadbeats in the delivery room specifically because they’re men compared to being told they’re statistically more likely to be deadbeats in the delivery room specifically because they’re black
Okay, but no one is telling men they're deadbeats in the delivery room? That's not what this post is about, and this doesn't happen.
If you need to imagine a bizaree convoluted scenario for the point youre trying to make even have a chance of making sense, then the argument you're trying to make is probably really dumb and poorly thought out.
Again, no body is telling black men they're deadbeats in the delivery room, or in any medical/real life doctoral setting. The only reason we're even talking about it is because people in this thread missed the entire point of the original post because they got so caught up in an imaginary slight against men that the evil nurse made by daring to hypothetically make a critique about meaning being more likely to be deadbeats, which for clarity was never actually said and only originated from dudes in this thread who missed the point entirely.
If you think this is even remotely comparable to systemic racism or the industrial prison complex, which is the point you tried to make in your comment, is an insanely stupid thing to believe. Again, I want to clarify, the comparison being made here is that saying men are deadbeats is comparable to state sanctioned slavery that targets minority groups, that's the point youre trying to be make here, that's just straight r worded bro.
