Some of the many issues which MRAs miss while doing their oppression Olympics against other genders on International Men's day. (A thread)
Rape of men and Sexual harassments:
Men go through sexual harassments and are raoed as well. But in india, only Sexual harasment of minor men is recognised under POCSO. According to the law, adult men cannot be raped. This needs to go away.

The stereotype that men cannot have emotions is still prevalent. Families bring up men as "independent and strong" humans. When a baby boy cries, they are told "don't cry like a girl"
(Even here, women are stereotyped for having emotions and doomed weak though)

Makeup- Makeup is gender neutral and men can wear makeup too. So we must stop stereotyping that men who wear makeup are effeminate, gay, "hijr@", crazy, etc. NORMALISE MAKEUP FOR ALL.
PS: Please raise voice against child labour in mica mines. Mica is use in almost all products.

Clothes: Men can wear clothes which are seen as "only made for women". Wearing flowery clothes, skirts, etc doesn't make a man less manly or more womanly.
stereotypes related to body hair and beard hit men a lot

Paternity leave: Why should women only get maternity leave? Is it only the job of the mother to take care of the child?
Also, what would happen in case both parents are men?
Remember the backlash Kohli talked about?

Intersectionality: MRAs always miss intersectionality. For instance caste, trans rights, etc.
If only MRAs Focused more on breaking the stereotypes and started pushing for gender neutral rape laws rather than vilifying women.

And by the way, Feminism doesn't exclude these things as per the common stereotypes.
Men experience hormonal cycles on a monthly basis too. Though there are various factors which influence it, men can go through the mood swings and depression that menstruation brings to women.
Also, Men can menstruate too: Often talking about their periods can bring dysphoria and discomfort to transmen. In the West, there is a little talk about period hygeine for them, but in countries like India, menstrual hygeine is still neglected.
