but I have to disagree. Men commit more rapes, murders, and other crimes

So by your logic, white people are better than black people.

Men grow the food, build the buildings and infrastructure, keep the lights on, do all the most dangerous jobs so women can have comfortable lives. Yet, as you wrote that comment, you didn't think of my friend who lost his right arm stringing power lines to provide you with the electricity so you could diss men on the internet - you thought about the tiny tiny minority of criminals.

Feminism is so stupid.

I would say that in some ways, black culture is more toxic because it is more encouraging of violence. I guess "better" can feel very insulting, so I'll put it this way: masculine male culture is toxic to the world, I'd say more so than feminine female culture, because it encourages violence. Since you're about to bring it up, yes, femininity is also toxic in extremes. Gender (referring to masculinity and femininity) as het people have defined it, is flawed destructive. However, yes, encouraging violence and destruction is more toxic than the most extreme, toxic femininity. It's not that men are horrible because they are male, it's that masculine het male culture is fucked. There are also positive aspects to masculinity and femininity, of course, but that's not what we're discussing here.

Women do all those jobs too and don't "live comfortable lives" compared to men. Who is expected to serve whom? Also, the most dangerous job is prostitution, which is mostly women and girls, and some men and boys. Either way, the punters are male 99.9999% of the time.

I wonder how he'd feel about you using his story for your own means. It's a shame that happened to him. He deserves better working conditions. Women also work in highly dangerous fields such as that one, factories, and like I already mentioned, the most dangerous profession, prostitution.

In the past, women were not allowed to do those jobs because they weren't allowed to leave the home or be considered a human being, and even now they are discouraged from joining traditionally masculine professions.

Just consider the way you tried to bring up your male friend being put into a dangerous situation by his (most likely) male boss as some sort of attempt to diss women. Your anger is misdirected. Women aren't the reason that many traditionally masculine jobs are dangerous, and women are far more likely to work the most dangerous job in the world.

you thought about the tiny tiny minority of criminals.

I don't know what universe you live in where you believe criminals to be a "tiny tiny minority".
