feminism is not needed in the west
Con, you are the one advocating for inequality of women. But I do have evidence of the contrary. Here are some statistics, note that these are for the U.S. only but the other western countries show similar data: U.S. Population is 49% male and 51% female. This gives us a basis of what the other statistics should look like. 79.3% of workplace fatalities are men, meaning men are four times more like to die at work than women. 78% of suicide deaths are men. While women are three times as likely to attempt suicide, men are just under four times more likely to die from it. This is because men mostly use 100% lethal means, firearm being prevalent, while women tend to bleed out from slit wrists and overdose on pills. The overwhelming majority of combat deaths are men, even though women are being integrated into the military. I will show statistics from older wars to compare. 1. Korea 99.99% of people who died were men. 2. Vietnam 99.99% again. 3. Gulf war 96.07%. 4. OIF 97.54%. 5. OEF 97.83% Men are more likely to commit murder, and more likely to be murdered. 78% of homicide victims are male and 64% of known killers are male. Men are fourteen times more likely to be sent to prison and receive 63% longer sentences than women for the same crime. 83% of felony defendants are male. 93% of the prison population is male. Chance of being bailed is 62% for men and 80% for women. First time offenders sentenced, 29% of male cases and only 17% of female cases. Chances of probation or parole for men is 66% while for women it is 85%. 72% of homeless individuals in shelter are male. 66-80% of divorces are initiated by women. Men win custody only 18% of the time. 674,000 men receive alimony while 5,588,000 women do.
