As the creator of @thetinmen, I am in the privileged position to be at the very centre of the conversations here. I see the good and the bad. I have lovely things said about me, and less than lovely things too. I read brilliantly insightful comments, thoughtful debate, carefully crafted conversation, stories of vulnerability and… well… the angrily garbled squawks of very silly people. Usually these comments sink to the bottom, to become the silty stupidity of the highly entitled outrage squad. And sadly, such wonderful words are lost. But no more! Instead I want to learn from such nonsense – using their narrow mind as a lens to learn and discuss more about our men and boys. So, let’s start here – do men suffer *because* of their gender? ~ Sources: The Children Act The Criminal Law Amendment Act Gay men persecuted UK  Refuge in England Refuge in the US  Refuge in Canada Former UCAS CEO calls out ‘systemic bias’ against boys in education  Images by Ahmed Nishaath and Darius Bashar from Unsplash.
