Why do people act like women in the US have it worse than men in society when the data shows otherwise (see below)?

Most murder victims are male

Most assault victims are male

If you include the inmate population, most sexual assault and rape victims are male

Most homeless single people are male

Most of the wealth is held by women

Most managerial jobs are held by women

Most professional jobs are held by women

Most 4 year college graduates are women

Most medical school enrollees are women

The gender wage gap is a myth

Women can treat men any way they want, but the reverse is not true

Women can generally find a man to support them financially, but the reverse is not true

Women are favored in both criminal courts and child custody cases

Men have been the ones forced to fight in the military

Men were the ones responsible for working to support the family

    "Most of the wealth is held by women"??

    can you explain this statement...

    anyway, to answer the question, it's because their attention is selectively filtered by a phenomenon called "the women are wonderful effect", which is well documented in psychological studies.. basically people care about womens problems and disregard mens

    The major critique against modern feminism is that it's about the white elite. No average woman was raped by Harvey Weinstein or Matt Lauer. Your typical woman wasn't abused by Les Moonves because you have to be of the media inner circle to have even gotten that close to him. Women of color are rightfully saying that things like #MeToo are classist because they address only the concerns of the working actors/media personalities and not the real abuse that happens to low income women every day.

    Perhaps the  issues you  list are common in some countries, but certainly not in the US. Do you have a source for any of that?

    Feminism spreads the myth that only women can be victims of anything. There are even feminists that think female prisons shouldn't exist because women never commit crime.

    This is a very interesting topic to me. I feel that the system protects women more than men. For example if a woman attacked a man, people will laugh at the guy. Yet if it was the other way around people would be calling the cops. A woman could claim she was raped and the the accused if innocent of course would be automatically arrested for further investigation. If a woman cheats on her husband and he asks for a divorce, the man will have to pay child support yet the child will not see a single dime from that, the woman will get alimony along with help from the government. women claim they want equality, if that's true I'd say remove those programs like child support and others mentioned above. Women want to be treated like men in certain areas but when it comes down to taking responsibility they end up being fragile girls claiming that it's too difficult for them to do it on their own. Yet the man was the sole provider in the household for many years before the divorce.
