Oh ho yes. 100%. At least where I'm from, society is massively sexist against men. I don't think we have it as bad as women do in other countries but the scales have tipped a bit too far in the other direction for my country. I still think women have it worse globally, but not where I'm from.

**Most political leaders are men. It is up to them to fix toxic masculinity and other problems.** - Across the world, men are the perpetrators of most violent crime and [96 percent of homicides are committed by men](https://wgxa.tv/news/local/why-men-are-more-likely-to-commit-violent-crimes), a staggering difference that must be largely down to toxic masculinity among men. - Men are victims of this as well. Men are [more likely than women to be victims of violent crime committed by a stranger](https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeandjustice/articles/thenatureofviolentcrimeinenglandandwales/yearendingmarch2018) and are [more likely to commit suicide than women](https://www.verywellmind.com/men-and-suicide-2328492). However, the toxic masculinity at the root of this needs to be destroyed by men, as it is a code of behaviour fostered among men. - As for other problems in society? Men are the ones in power. There is a [clear difference between the numbers of men and the numbers of women in leadership positions](https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/women/reports/2018/11/20/461273/womens-leadership-gap-2/) worldwide. If being in a position of leadership doesn’t give you the responsibility to fix society’s problems, then what does? - I resent having to use the phrase ‘not all men', but obviously not all men actively contribute to toxic masculinity, and obviously not all men are in leadership positions. Women with leadership positions and without also add to society’s problems, including the issue of toxic masculinity. The accusation that ‘men are to blame’ is obviously a bit reductive, but it should be heard as a much-needed wake-up call…

**Men are the cause of some of society's problems, but they are unfairly blamed for some issues that they have no control over.** - Men are the prosecutors in in a majority of criminal acts. Between 2019 and 2020, [545 thousand] (https://www.statista.com/statistics/377412/arrests-england-and-wales-time-series-by-gender/) men were prosecuted for crimes. Only [94 thousand] (https://www.statista.com/statistics/377412/arrests-england-and-wales-time-series-by-gender/) women were prosecuted. - Men, as a general term, have been the cause of a lot of society’s problems over the years. Such as serious gender discrimination, exploitation of people and materials, and abuse of people and systems. - However men alone cannot be blamed for all of these problems. Women will have played their role in it at some point. I am unsure where or how, but to say that all of society problems are due to men seems unfair. Women will have their share of fault too, it just may not be as much as men. - It is important to remember that there are women out there who support gender discrimination and other problems of society. - Men are rightly blamed for some of society's problems. But, this does seem to stem from mens actions in the past. It seems unfair to always blame men for issues caused by certain male individuals hundreds of years ago.

The phrasing of this question makes it difficult to get to grips with. Lots of societies problems? Does that mean the majority or just 'lots'. Which ones and what kind of problems? How does one define 'lots'? I think as the question seems to be so general and unspecific i will answer it as follows: Men are the main perpetrators of many of societies problems. Problems such as violence against people of whatever gender and sexual assaults. They are also in the majority in positions of power in most of societies organisational structures, including in politics, and so are law makers and policy creators. So it would be fair to say that men definitely play a part in the majority of societies problems. However it is a simplificationto say that men can easily be said to be the cause of most of societies problems. Women make up an essential part of every society. As this is the case all policies and all structures take into account to a lesser or greater extent, women's participation and views. (When i say take into account, i am aware sometimes policies are specifically targeted at taking away female rights and going against female views to surpress women. Which i think is wrong) If women weren't around, would societies problems be less or greater? ( I realise that this appears a nonsensical question as how could a society exist without women being inside the structure or associated to it?) I raise the question so that i can make the next point, which i believe gives a more overall view when considering the answer to the question. Let us take the example of men who are aggressive and arrogant. I think many people would say that this is a factor, of how some mens attitudes can cause problems within society. Yet i have noticed, from my own experience and the experience of many men i know, that women associate some aggressiveness as being an essential and desirable trait of manliness. They are attracted to it and find it an essential masculine trait. Can i ask the reader if they think what women like in a man, makes up part of why men choose to express themselves as they do? What traits they accept within themselves and what they reject? (I'm not suggesting for a moment that what women like in a man, or what men like in a woman, is the only element that makes people accept traits within themselves. I am suggesting it is an essential element and another factor includes cultural stereotypes) My point is that how men are, and how women are, cannot be seen as a separate factor. So men's views and actions and women's views and actions are co created. Could it be that the way men are and they way women are, is because both sexes conspire to have traits that attempt to satisfy what the other sex feels, or even does, need? If so, is societies expression (how societies are) easily defined as the "fault" of one gender or the other?
