    True equity isn’t sexy and doesn’t motivate voters or sell ad space. It’s much easier to try and shine a light on the plights (real or otherwise) of as large a group as possible and pretend to be behind them. Politics and News are sales, not education.

      Being named the reason for all the world’s woes, while the issues affecting me being completely ignored, does not motivate me to vote either. TBH it’s actually all very depressing, and I imagine a whole pile of people would say I deserve it for having the privileged genitals.

        What issue affecting you is being ignored? And no one of merit is saying that you are the reason for the world’s woes. And while there are some extremist feminists that are actually misandrists, again it’s really almost no one.
