In reply to the discussion: There are many men on DU who are supportive of women's rights [View all]La Lioness Priyanka
(53,866 posts)45. gender is not the underlying cause of worry, when these things worry men
so for instance, a man might be worried about being promoted to become a manager, but gender will not underly that particular worry usually. when men are in women heavy professions they get promoted faster, when women are in male heavy professions, they get promoted even slower.
do men usually walk in dark allies afraid that they will be molested by women?
yes, people do live as part of groups, and some groups suffer and benefit together.
individual made may have faced some of the worries that women routinely face, but not because of their gender. it is also unlikely to be chronic worries, since chronically being a man, is not a deterrent from career success and things like that.
