See MANY, NOT ALL BUT MANY MEN are sex ruled, without Morality restraints, many, not all but many would rape infants, even their own, IF there was no protection of infants, etc. Talking here about the most Debased of nature, the Agenda of these sex starved porn types, is the absolute removal of Anything CONSCIOUS or that would say, you need CONSENT. These types don't give a damn about consent, ONLY THEIR LUSTS,
No, I disagree.
Everyone has sexual desires, that's part of being human. However, while men may be more sexually attuned than women (and I'm not convinced this is the case at all), I do not believe "many" men are sex-ruled and without restraints. To say that "many" men would rape an infant, even their own child, flies in the face of logic and history and is exactly what the OP is about.
Most men don't commit sexual crimes. Most men are wonderful husbands and fathers, brothers and friends, who would never consider rapng anyone, much less an infant.
What you've done here is paint a picture of "many" men that is totally inaccurate. It's misandry, pure and simple.
I don't watch TV or commercials so I'm not familiar with the shows you mentioned... I think it would be interesting to do an experiment and watch TV all week and take notes to see if it's really as you say it is (men being marginalized)... or if you just notice when it happens because you're more sensitive to it. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'd like to see some real evidence.
As regards the picture, I think we have to take reality into account. How many older men sexually molest younger girls? And what are the numbers vice versa? The sexuality of the male is much different than the sexuality of the female. It's one of our built-in differences.
I don't like to see men marginalized any more than I like to see women marginalized

Even just a few hours of any mainstream comedy, drama or reality TV series and I'm sure you'll take note of how it seems. I don't think I'm more sensitive to it, I didn't realize it was there for years until somebody pointed it out to me. That's the thing with TV, the conditioning is usually very subtle, but I find some of it to be very very obvious.

It's probably a better idea to discuss the amount of sexual assault reported than done. 90% of all male sexual assault goes unreported, partially because society has pressured men in certain ways to be ashamed of such things. There are virtually NO help groups or anything for men who suffer sexual abuse.

But you said you haven't seen the issues that I've described because you aren't exposed to the content right? So you don't see what you aren't exposed to. I would suggest that you just take a quick look BH, you're a very reasonable person who is quite wise, I'm sure you'll at least see where I'm coming from.

The majority of men were against it yet here we are?? Your question answered.
You just cant see past your own gender can you? Are you a socio path mate?Do you care only about yourself first and very little about every one else?
You should be gratful that im even bothering to reply to you?
Does your family have a history of duping women into carrying your genetics on?

Less closet space. who is the one who gets the honey do list. You have fight this to save your sanity. why do men want a man cave to have peace. Men are conditioned to take this without a word.
It seems that you have been conditioned to take this without a word. I don't really know anyone that lives like that.

Actually equal pay for equal work already exists. When you factor in things like length of time in the workforce, positions etc, women make the same as men do now.
The stats about gender gap in pay is very overblown.
ETA:
Myth 1: Women get less pay for equal work. The spurious assertion that women are paid 77 cents for a man’s wage dollar comes from comparing the earnings of all full-time men with those of all full-time women.
The comparison is bogus, for two reasons. First, it lumps together men and women who work different numbers of hours — any hours above 35 hours per week. On average, full-time women work fewer hours than full-time men, often because they prefer it.
When comparisons are made between men and women who work 40 hours per week, women make 87% of men’s earnings, according to the Labor Department. For men and women who work 30 to 34 hours a week, women make more, 109% of men’s earnings.
Second, the gap claim averages for each gender earnings from many and disparate vocations. For example, it averages women who work as social workers with men who work as investment bankers; female elementary school teachers with male engineers; and male loggers with female administrative assistants.
