Men use more violent suicide methods with a higher success rate. Attempts are higher in women.

Women pay less tax because the work they do in the home is unpaid. We consume more thanks to the kids, and longer lives. Also because we get stuck with kids and can't work.

More money is spent on women's health care because we have to deal with pregnancy... Also female specific cancers cause way greater lost years of life than male cancers, and testing for them is more complex than for prostate or testicular (finger up rectum Vs mammogram or smear).

Women do not control 66% of the wealth. Women own 40% of it.

Women control domestic spending because they do almost all grocery shopping, pay most bills and do the purchasing for the kids.

More female students now because women are better at sitting down and studying at a young age.

Most homeless are men because they are a lot more likely to have violent behaviour, mental health problems, serious drug addictions, and have a very low IQ. Their own fault.

Men chose to work in high risk environments because the pay is higher even with no qualifications. Women are less likely to tolerate risk for income.

So... basically that meme is balls. Where men do worse it's down to their own behaviour.

Nice cherry-picking, but the author of this (meme?) was a tad over-enthusiastic, & in an attempt to bulk up his meagre list of exceptions included downright lies.

If you only look at successful suicides you can be fooled into thinking suicide is a men's issue, but 3x the number of women actually attempt suicide over men, so suicide has no place being on this list.

Women control 66% of the world's wealth

lol no, they don't. Where are you getting this from?

Women control 80 of all household spending

translation: mothers are given the job of what food & clothes are bought for the children, not because they want to, but because the "fathers" don't want to, so the mothers have to.

93% of all workplace deaths...

Well where else would you expect them to be dying? Meanwhile over 90% of female homicide victims are by male perpetrators. Men are more likely to die in the public sector, while women are more likely to be killed in the private sector. Prostitution is still the most dangerous job though, sex workers in general have the lowest mortality rate. Those jobs, as well as unpaid, private sector jobs clearly weren't included in your stat.

Systemic prejudice manifests itself through trends, not statistical outliers. The average man isn't homeless or doing a dangerous job, so when listing these as "evidence", that's just cherry picking, seeing as 95% of Fortune 500 CEOs are also men – which is what patriarchy is referring to. Homeless men don't contradict the definition of patriarchy.

If homelessness & suicides & dangerous jobs were any legitimate measure than even the most obvious patriarchies we all agree are patriarchies (like Saudi Barbaria) wouldn't qualify.

Naked, thin, young, white girl as an image? Classic sexualized objectification.

Women attempt suicide more often than men but men die from suicide more often because of choosing more violent

Women were blocked from working and are still unequal in the workforce and receive less income and hold fewer assets than men so taxes are lesser. Those reasons are also part of why consumption is higher for women.

Women’s healthcare does not receive more funding, that is false. Almost no pharmaceuticals are tested on women, even if it’s a drug specifically for a women’s health concern.

Women do not control 66% of the worlds wealth. That’s false. Men still own the majority of money worldwide.

Women are responsible for houseware and childcare in households 80% of the time.

Women have only graduated universities at higher rates in the past few years, and it still doesn’t lead to leadership positions in careers or academia at the same rate as men.

you forget about prostate cancer, it is pretty equal to breast cancer... and men can get breast cancer too

One absolute risk you may see is lifetime risk of breast cancer. Women in the U.S. have a 1 in 8 (or about 13 percent) lifetime risk of getting breast cancer

.

About 1 man in 9 will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime.

while im sry for women with cancer, a good friend had a double mastectomy. survial of prostate cancer is very difficult because it never really looked at. plus it is only treatable.

Almost 100% of men who have local or regional prostate cancer will survive more than five years after diagnosis. Fewer men (about 7 %) have more advanced prostate cancer at the time of diagnosis. Once prostate cancer has spread beyond the prostate, survival rates fall.

The number of years if life lost to prostate cancer in a population is a lot lower. Prostate cancer usually hits a lot later than breast or cervical.

Not a lot of point pouring resources into an illness an old man is more likely not die with than from.
