Can there be such a thing as men's issues?
Some people attempt to dismiss men's issues by saying men dominate all aspects of the culture, they control everything to their own advantage, and so they have no grounds for complaining. This argument fails in several ways, but the most fundamental failure is it's simply not true. For example, women dominate the electorate. Women outnumber men in the population, and they outnumber men as registered voters. Women can vote anyone into office they want. Every woman who loses a public election to a man, did so because a female-dominated electorate voted against her. Every judge who holds office was either elected by a female-dominated electorate, or was appointed by someone who was.
Now, some people will argue that women are socialized, and this makes it impossible for them to vote differently. But the fact is, men are socialized too. And women dominate the socialization of children. A person's self-image is pretty much set by age twelve, and women dominate this period of a person's life (as mothers, elementary school teachers, and day-care workers). And the influence does not stop there.
Having dominance in the electorate and dominance in the socialization of children are not small powers. Suppose you could enter another culture, control their electorate majority, and dominate the socialization of their children. You would have phenomenal power. It would not be 100% control, but you would have the kind of power that shapes civilizations. So the claim that men dominate and shape all aspects of the culture is simply not true. Both sexes have influence, but because of sex roles, both sexes ended up with inequities. And I think the above clearly demonstrates that the PC model of dominance is wrong.
