If a system or an institution doesn’t work for women, the immediate response is never to reform the system and make it work. It’s always to exclude women from public life.
Medical care doesn’t serve your needs? Give birth at home!
Police doesn’t assist you? Forget reporting any crime against you!
Streets are not safe? Stay home!
There are tons of cases where medical care, law and street safety fail men. But in those cases, the response is always about the need to reform medicine, criminal justice and policing. Some people agree, some disagree and say no reform is needed, but the discussions never turn towards the idea that men should not try to access these systems at all.
