Really good job. I have seen this claim made all the time and it really good to see someone break it down.
I have normally not cared much about these issues before but after the rise of toxic personalities like Andrew Tate, Tim Pool, Jordan Peterson and countless others who like to blame women for just about everything wrong in society, you start to really notice how biased everything is.
I am from Norway but have lived in the US, and I remember when coming there that I thought the US would be pretty much the same as Scandinavia. It looks similar on the surface. People live in similar houses, wear similar clothes etc.
Yet, I was really surprised by how deep the misogyny was in the US. In Norway I was pretty much an anti-feminist. I hated being pushed all that I viewed as feminist propaganda since childhood in school. Ironically I had to live in the US to wake up and realize that what women talk about and what feminism is about is very real.
Actually it changed my perspective on many things. Also on gay people. Interestingly I had to meet all the haters to to understand what the people hated on was actually talking about.
Today as a father of two, I have really learned to appriate what feminism has done for me as a man here in Norway. It is often presented as if it is a zero sum game where the gain of women is the loss of men. But the fact that feminists pushed for women to have careers mean that men also got a bigger role in the home. I had several months of parental leave with my kids in their first year. Some of the best time of my life, and I can thank the women (and men) who fought for the rights of women for that. The liberation of women has in many ways also been the liberation of men.
If feminism and the women's rights was so bad for men then men in Scandinavia should have been the most miserable on the planet, but the opposite is true. I think men here are among the most happy on the planet. And that is a positive message I want to try to get across to other men who see the gains of women as their loss.
