Men are NOT “oppressed” in the West. Seriously, guys. You need to chill. Has the pendulum swung too far in the men bashing direction? Possibly. But the lady who spoke earlier was right. Men do plenty of women bashing themselves. I don’t see any oppressed men here at work, but I do see some women who get less respect and fewer promotional opportunities because they are women.
