The stat is actually 1-in-4 women have been abused, unless things are getting better last I heard. And it's not just by men. Women do some abusing too. Also I know you know that a child has a higher chance of becoming a criminal, poor, or a rotten life in general, if they are brought up in a single parent home. In most cases, that single parent is a woman. NOW, I'm not saying women are fucking up our children. I'm pointing to the evidence that men are important. Boys and girls are not growing up to be responsible men and women from responsible men. In some areas of this world, responsible men can't be responsible men because they are told (or brainwashed) by society that they are not as important as MAMA. It's a cycle that's bullshit and it must be broken. "I don't need a man to help raise my kids", is a statement said my many irresponsible women. I once have I ever heard a man say, "I don't need a woman to help raise my kids". Not once. Men know the importance of women. I would like to see more women know the importance of men. I want to add to clarify, that I know many good people from single parent homes. Just because a single parent can do a great job raising a child, doesn't mean that's the best way to do it. The stats are clear across all walks of life (rich or poor).
As long as I can remember, people fight for women (save the women) and assume men have little to no worries. "Men can handle themselves. They are strong. Be strong like a man." I use to believe this myself, but men have problems. Problems that won't go away just because the man stuck out his chest and "toughed it out". You state you have a few problems of your own. You're young. In a couple years things to even more complicated.
As for these white male advantages you speak of, I know many white men that would debate you on the subject. Rich people have advantages. The rest of us work hard and sometimes we work hard for little or nothing. I know a lot of white men and none of them are rolling in the dough or have every advantage. "White male privilege" is greatly exaggerated. Don't belief the hype. You told me to check other places around the world. I ask you to do the same. Go to the less than nicer parts of your city. I guarantee you'll see plenty of "white male privilege".
I don't blame women for men's problem and I don't think women should blame men for their problems. I think we as a society should grow up and stop be petty about bullshit. Man and woman are different. We play different roles within society. Being treated in equal ways won't happen. The best we can do is be understanding and respectful of each other.
