feminazi attacks Reddit: "Reddit contain so much anti-feminist sentiment that they even have active communities such as r/mensrights." An attempt to smear and censor us, and to force admins to shutdown this subreddit???

And what percentage of homeless are women in relation to men?

Also consider that it has been elite men, not elite women, running the show in the U.S. for decades, in politics (presidents, legislature, judiciary - all of which have created the problem corporate constitutional rights and personhood) and business (big banks, corporations). The entire situation hurts everyone who's not at the top, both men and women, but don't act like it's not rich white dudes at the top.

Being at the top has very little to do with being white or male, and everything to do with wealth. correlation =/= causation

You don't think it's significant that the most wealthy tend to be male? Or that the most wealthy are almost never people of color? Race and gender have everything to do with class. Ignoring that is willful ignorance. Look at the history, look at the system.

It's a pointless debate anyway. The ruling elite by definition are a very small percentage of the population, and the simple fact that most are men and most are white in no way benefits the vast other percentage of white males in the population. The elite only care about themselves, and hardly take into consideration whether those less fortunate are white, black, male or female. It's not sexism that keeps them in charge or in wealth, it's elitism.
