Well, razors - we have to shave every day, unlike women. And the pay gap has been disproved over and over again (in fact, look at the State Government Awards, which give women equal pay) and the fact that men are more likely than a woman to die in a workplace accident because we choose more dangerous (and higher paying) jobs.

How about you also consider the LACK of men in teaching, childcare and other female dominated professions (and the lack of opportunities for promotion for men in those 'girl clubs' ?)

But how about the REAL cost of being a man - the side you never hear about ?

That men make up :-

76% of suicides

85% of homeless

70% of homicide victims

40% of domestic abuse victims

The majority of victims of violent crime

And that we serve 64% longer sentences in jail and are 3.4 times more likely to be imprisoned than a woman for the same crime.

When you consider that we also live shorter lives than women, get a fraction of the male cancer (e.g. prostate) versus female cancer research dollars and are more likely to not have access to or custody of our kids in the Family Court, then how about you count that into it too ?

OMG you are so pathetic. Mike Richards, my hair grows back to be prickly enough by the next day to justify another shave. And what does the frequency of shaving sessions have to do the price of a single razor?

But anyways, nice statistics, the domestic violence statistic is very questionable though (IPV? severity? in the past 12 months? meta-analysis?). Here's one I have; women are twice as likely as men to be in poverty so excuse this woman for writing about a legitimate issue that isn't about men.

Just admit you don't care about women. You don't really care about suicide, homelessness, homicide victims, domestic violence, violent crimes, sentencing rates, family court or even care about men for that matter. You're just using male-dominated statistics with no contextualisation on random and unrelated issues, unprovoked, to derail conversations about women's issues.

The fact that you decided that an ideal platform for issues that disproportionately affect men is in the comment section of an article with a headline that was so clearly about a woman's issue, that you dismissed because you just so happen to not think it's a legitimate thing before you proceeded with your whataboutmenism, makes it very obvious.

It's not that you just don't care about women. You want women to suffer a loss because you feel that the advancement of women's rights and well being results in a loss for you.

What you are doing right here in this comment section is not advocacy for men. It's under the guise of advocacy for men with the purpose of hampering women's advancement.

men do one thing and its try to disprove the oppression women have faced for years. the patriarchy enforces all these stereotypes about men (men are stronger, they need to earn, they can't be victims of domestic or sexual abuse, women should look after children so they should be the ones to have custody of children, yadda yadda), so technically speaking, while i understand that what men face might be horrible, i can't bring myself to be sympoathetic because the system men themseleves created to oppress women is now (and has always been) hurting them as well.

cheers.

You seem to be being very defensive, No one is denying that men have different needs compared to women but this article is specifically about the unfair prices that women are forced to pay for essential items.

Mike Richards look at the real cost of being a women:

-Pink tax

-Sexual abuse and harassment in the workplace

-Domestic violence

-Sexual discrimination

- The fear of walking alone after dark because you don't want to be raped and murdered

Not to say that men cannot have these things happen to them. But the statistics of people who are affected by these issues are overwhelmingly women.
