Was reading a few articles on rights, and started to think that men are now the underclass, oppressed by all other groups.

Women attacking mens rights,

think its time for men specially straight men to rise up and fight the oppression that other groups have enforced onto us.
Man power, Power to straight men.

Using the work of Connell and other theorists, I discuss the implications of the proposed definition for the oppression of women and suggest that men, too, are systematically mistreated and therefore oppressed in modern societies. This structural concept of men's oppression is compared with the idea developed in the men's movement of the 1970s that men are oppressed by sex roles, and with more recent discourses of masculinity. I argue that men may have conflicting interests in relation to the gender order.

What all other groups are there?

I think men might be depressed, not particularly oppressed. Demographically there are more women than men in Scotland, so you could say we are the minority. Politically they could in theory oversize us a few percent.

We'd tear through them in a fight though.

So no, make love not war.

what about policies specifically for women gheys etc.. but the straight man is supposed to take it all on board, look at health more is spent on women health than on mens, look at equality straight men seem to be less equal to others.
Education males do worse at school then women the list just seems endless.
violence against men by their female partners is unspoken in modern society, men have the highest suicides rates, specially straight men,its almost bad to be a man these days.

Not talking about that, just public social issues that men seem to have less rights than others. just reading about women can down play a mans sexual power in the bedroom in the office, but when a man does the same he can fired for sexual harassment.

Women what?

I know men have high suicide rates, that why I suggested they were depressed as opposed to oppressed. There are many studies and thoughts on the reasons, and subjugation of the male gender isn't one I've come across yet.

No, gheys have their own groups, straight males do not have any groups that deal with their issues.

No, I'd say bigots like yourself are isolated in society.

I don't class a gay male any less or different as a hetrosexual male in societal, "groups" "classes" gender or race.
 
I think the OP is stating that being a white heterosexual male in today's society results in them being a second class citizen or are under represented in areas like support etc whereas if you are anything else (black, female, gay, transgender, certain religions), there are either support groups or actual Governmental policies in place to support said groups.

I THINK that is what he is saying.

Actually your the bigot, for not having the ability to except that straight males should have the same rights as everyone else, not extra rights to differentiate them.

All people should, and essentially do, have the same or equal rights.

Are there problems, for both genders and all sexualities in specific areas of civic society? And within the state and the operation of law? Yes. But there is no evidence that one group has been subjugated least of which males when balancing and comparing the problems beset on all.

Males dominate politics, business, finance, trade industry and war.

To say we are the gender that have been oppressed through the history of "Man"kind then I suggest you're just as bananas and homophobic as you come across.

I THINK I agree with your analysis of the thread; eg "positive discrimination" is bad, whatever form it takes.

That said, the OP has not stated his position well.

Always the same with some people though.

Where one group has dominated for so long and the scales start to balance out, the previously dominating group feel as if they are now being oppressed due to, as they see it, said group "losing" control and/or power.


That being said, there is always the risk during re-balances of the scales swinging wildly in the opposite direction and the previously dominating group being "oppressed".

I don't see this happening in this case however...
