Nature itself hates cis men. Biologically speaking the female is the default, and the male is a modified version of the female designed solely to help her reproduce. As such, nature doesn't really care about the male any more than what he does for women and children. Men do not have the ability to cope with stress and emotions and are explosively angry and prone to depression due to how our brain is wired, and yet we're the ones expected to be stoic and never have any problems. We have productivity issues because our body is designed to rest as much as possible for hard labor. We are usually fairly stupid. And society also doesn't care about us. A woman can often get whatever she wants on a golden platter, and if that doesn't work she can just cry about it and you're a monster if you don't give in. While a man can go die in a war or suffer the worst torture imaginable--with lower pain tolerance, mind you, both mentally and physically--and no one will give a shit; in fact, he will be punished if he doesn't suffer, without complaint. Women can get away with almost anything with no consequences, even serious crimes, or if they do get in trouble it is barely a fraction of what men get for the same thing. Often they even hold a man responsible for a woman's actions, because how could you lock up a sweet innocent woman, blame this ugly man instead! Now repeat after me, "male privilege!".

Almost everything you just listed sounds like your personal issues with masculinity and not like any kind of objective facts. Men having emotional issues and their obsession with aggression and physical violence really isn’t equal to centuries of being treated like second class citizens, sexual violence in war and times of peace, laws controlling and policing behavior and rights, forcible pregnancies, female genitalia mutilation, sex trafficking, witch burnings, etc., I could do on and on and on...

Life is hard in general, and yes in times past the men suppressed the women, probably out of jealousy. But not anymore, in fact you can't give women enough special treatment to not be labeled sexist. It could be fixed and it was. But men are biologically worse off and pretty much miserable by design, and that can probably never be fixed. Even women in those oppressive societies are happier than men.

Even women in those oppressive societies are happier than men.

I don't think child brides raped by their "husbands" multiple times until they die only a few months into the marriage or FGM victims who live in tremendous pain, reproductive health problems and need multiple surgeries to ease the suffering or women who has to abort their female fetuses multiple times a year because their husbands want a son are "happy".

They are still in the minority. And the men are likely even less happy, I believe because testosterone makes you constantly irritable.

How about go outside your imagination and visit reality?

There are actually multiple studies done on that and this is what they found, research for yourself

You talk about human beings like we're mindless machines with zero control over our emotions or actions. You're responsible for your fucking happiness. Ditto for controlling your jealousy, rage, rape urges & every other impulse. Yeah we're animals but we also have highly evolved frontal lobes that set us apart from other species. All this evo psych nonsense sounds like justification for things you can definitely control. Unless you have some kind of frontal lobe damage.
