male privilege is reeking through many of your comments here. and for a person who says he's a feminist, maybe - just maybe - you could take a step far enough back to see how they also seem to be co-opting this post about the "yesallwomen" hash tag into another discussion of "but what about the men?"

But still, if you go on a morning news show and say ".75 to $1" people aren't going to jump your shit about it, save for a few uber-right wackjobs... maybe...
Yeah, actually, they will.

Well of course not, men aren't abused, right?
I feel like this is a response to a comment I didn't make, and not the bit you quoted.

And who is saying that WOMEN should build men's abuse centers?
MRAs; their line, actually, sounds very like yours, as it is the idea that it is the job of feminism to address men's issues.

But why is that a job for feminism?
...remind me again, which intellectual and philosophical group was the one based on studying the power imbalances between the genders?
That would be gender studies. Feminism is about addressing the inequalities faced by women.

I'm sorry but why should fourth wave feminism focus on men? Because feminism is a group based on studying the power imbalances between genders?

Wrong. Feminism was founded on the idea of creating a power balance and equality between the genders. We are still not there yet, so why should we focus on men-who are still more powerful and privileged than women?

I agree with noodledays that many of your comments are dripping with male privilege.
