How many grants are designed to be awarded to exclusively females? I don't know, but it's more then 0.

Because those grants are usually in fields where the demographics are skewed male and they want more women in that workforce. That's motivated by owners who want to lower labour cost, not because anyone's targeting men.

How many grants are designed to be awarded to exclusively males? Including sports or fields mainly dominated by males?

Pretty sure men and women get scholarships to play every sport in college? And I'm pretty sure there's a lot more males getting those scholarships than women, football teams are pretty large.

When a girl says they are suicidal how quickly do they get support? When a man says they are suicidal, how quickly do they get support?

That's just because women are better communicators than men. They seek help when it's less severe and are more likely to respond to treatment. Most men who seek help before suicide so it as a last resort, and America has really shitty healthcare. Again, not targeting men.

Anytime iv mentioned that iv been suicidal, the "help" I get was told to man up and not think about bad stuff. Iv been going to therapy on my own and at my own cost for years to help me give the strength to wake up tomorrow.

Well, shame on whoever told you that and I'm glad you sought help yourself. However, that's mostly something we men are doing to themselves. We can't blame anyone else for that, nor can anyone else but us fix it.

Why is it males still can't talk about their thoughts and feelings without being considered a lesser man?

Because of other men....... Have you tried having a platonic friendship with a woman or maybe better quality not man, they don't tend to think less of you because you talk about your feelings. I talk to my friends about my feelings all the time, no one thinks of me as a lesser man.

Why is males have 3 times the suicide rate then females?

Because we don't communicate our feelings as well or as often as a whole. We also tend to be less squimish about our method of suicide, when women tend to think of the aftermath more.

Why is it until very recently, women in a divorce would normally automatically be given full custody of their children?

It used to be a common belief in family court that mothers were more important to child development than men. This was assumed to be true as men traditionally were away at work more often and children required a stay at home mother.

This wasn't targeting men, it was implemented by men who believed in the idea of the atomic family.

Why is it, when a male calls the cops over domestic violence, it's the male who still gets arrested a majority of the time?

Who is making that discretion? The vast majority of police officers are men, they have the discretion to determine who gets arrested.

Why is there sigma still around a male being gay?

By who? And do those people think being a lesbian or bi is okay?

But yep, my male privlage gives me such a massive advantage over females, or others who identify as female, or non binary.

I mean just legally and economically....

use animals as a reason to keep going because on a personal level, I have nobody. I literally have to pay someone $310 CAD every month to listen to my problems.

You think that's not happening to women?

Most females do not understand the isolation most males deal with.

Most men are not dealing with that kind of isolation, and I don't think you have hung out with enough women to make that determination.

It's easy to get stuck in an echo chamber because of how connected we all are, try different groups.
