    Mr. 117NorthTower was a Liberal man. Throughout his life he learned that women are oppressed and men are the Privileged Oppressors. He learned that women are paid less then men for the same work. Mr. 117NorthTower learned that women suffer much Sexual Harassment. Being a good man, he decided to help The Oppressed and stand up to The Oppressors.

    Mr. 117NorthTower started reading blogs and news articles on how a man can be better ally to feminists. He read articles published in the most respectable media: "Dear Dudes, you’re all Trash", "Why Can't We Hate Men?" and countless other ones. Mr. 117NorthTower accepted the fact that as a man he must not be offended by being called trash and scum. He still wanted to obtain the highest honor available to men according to respectable authors of aforementioned articles -- being scum less scummy then other men.

    Mr. 117NorthTower learned a long list of demands on any man who wants to be feminists' ally. He must take up less space, never speak until given permission, and police other men. He must confront his male friends making sexist jokes. If he sees a man misbehaving in a bar, he must report him immediately. He must police sexist speech online. According to all the blogs and articles he read he must devout much of his energy to fighting sexism.

    Once upon a time Mr. 117NorthTower was arguing on a political forum, a subreddit, on Twitter, or on Facebook. He found a recent post about gender issues. CCitizen argued that men suffer significant discrimination in Modern Western Society. CCitizen mentioned that man accused of Sexual Misconduct and Domestic Violence are presumed guilty. CCitizen mentioned that male victims of Domestic Violence are more likely to be arrested then helped. CCitizen mentioned that male offenders get 63\% longer prison time for the same offense. Men are also much more likely to be convicted on much less evidence.

    Mr. 117NorthTower attacked CCitizen with worst personal attacks. CCitizen is can talk respectfully even to those who strongly disagree with him, but he always responds to personal attacks in kind. CCitizen's response was more vicious then the original! Even though most online arguments have neither loser nor winner, Mr. 117NorthTower sort of won this argument. According to the first version of events, CCitizen was banned. According to the second version of events, CCitizen fled the forum or subreddit in order to avoid being banned. According to the third version of events, CCitizen was not in danger of being banned, but left to preserve his psychic energy.

    Mr. 117NorthTower secured his status as strongly pro-feminist and Far Leftist man. What did he expect to gain? Many articles he read mentioned that he must not expect gratitude for doing his duty. A man does not deserve a cookie for being decent. Nevertheless, like most Leftist men, Mr. 117NorthTower expected much more then a cookie. He rightly calculated that among the Far Left men are a minority, thus it would be easier for him to find short term dating partners.

    Indeed, being a Far Leftist man, Mr. 117NorthTower found many short-time dating partners. He grew haughty and called everyone who disagrees with him an "incel". His dating strategy seemed perfect but it did have a significant flaw. Many of the women who are looking for self-hating men also hate men. A women who expects a man not to be offended by "men are scum" is very likely to expect a man to accept physical abuse as well.

    The latest of Mr. 117NorthTower's partners was a young lady with short and violent temper. She flew into rages on many occasions and assaulted him with anything she could lay hands on. During the last confrontation, she hit him on the head with a frying pan. Mr. 117NorthTower regained consciousness in a jail infirmary. His lawyer explained to him that during the attack sprang her wrist. That was expected since the frying pan was heavy and had a lot of kinetic energy. In other news, Mr. 117NorthTower was charged with Aggravated Assault. Even though he did not lay a finger on his partner, he was the Primary Aggressor. As such he was responsible for the damage she sustained attacking him. In 2018, Mr. 117NorthTower was sentenced to seven years in North Tower Supermax Penitentiary.

    During the trial and shortly after, Mr. 117NorthTower was in the state of shock. Now he had a lot of time to think about the events. Being let out of his cell one hour per week, he had all the time. At first he pushed the thoughts about recent traumatic events to the back of his mind. He began thinking about the Feminist theory he read and started applying it to his surroundings.

    It is a great injustice that female guards are paid less then male guards. It is a great injustice that a female guard is much less likely to become the warden. It is unfair that Mr. 114NorthTower makes comments about female guards. The sink in Mr. 117NorthTower's cell enabled him to overhear the conversation between Mr. 118NorthTower and Mr. 119NorthTower. Sexist and sexual jokes -- absolutely unacceptable.

    Mr. 117NorthTower remembered the article which claimed that all men are complicit in oppression of women. To his shame, for the next seven years he was bound to be a part of institution in which female guards are getting lower pay and are subject to Sexual Harassment. Mr. 117NorthTower would have been happy not to be a part of such institution, but that was beyond his choice. To his shame, Mr. 117NorthTower had enough common sense not to confront or report Mr. 118NorthTower and Mr. 119NorthTower for sexist jokes. After all, he was escorted along the cellblock once a week and he was afraid of being shanked as he walked by their cells.

    Suddenly Mr. 117NorthTower started doubting some of ideas he learned about Male Privilege and Female Oppression. He remembered videos saying that men make more money by taking on more demanding and dangerous jobs. Could it be that female guards are being paid less due to the fact that male guards are taking on more demanding and risky assignments? For instance, the SQUAT team which extracted Mr. 120NorthTower from his cell was made up of seven male guards. Then Mr. 117NorthTower recalled other arguments showing that gender pay gap can not be explained in terms of work habits alone.

    The memory of recent events came flooding Mr. 120NorthTower's mind. As he was thinking about his own situation, he understood the validity of men's issues. No one denies that a female guard who is paid 75\% of a male guard's salary is a victim of injustice. No one denies that Mr. 114NorthTower's comments about female guards are gross. Many strong and intelligent women are working on addressing women's issues. Perhaps these women need men's help as a fish needs a bicycle. But even if they need men's help more, men must attend to other priorities.

    As men we have a legal right and moral duty to concentrate our energy on helping another type of victim -- a male victim of Domestic Violence who is imprisoned rather then helped. We have a legal right and a moral duty to speak out for Presumption of Innocence. We have a legal right and a moral duty to campaign for Equal Rights of divorced fathers. We have a legal right and a moral duty to oppose Hate Speech directed at men in general. We have a legal right and a moral duty to oppose deplatforming of those who mention these issues. We are grateful to a few women who advocate for men. But only men can massively stand for their Human Rights.

    Mr. 117NorthTower still felt guilty for not confronting Mr. 118NorthTower and Mr. 119NorthTower for their sexist jokes. Then he understood that he must fight his own battles. He will confront sexist men in North Tower or in bars -- but only after the problems faced by men are solved. One day, the Sentencing Gap will be a thing of the past, fathers and mothers will have equal rights, and Hate Speech against men be as unacceptable as Misogyny and Racism. Then will he call out sexist men. For now men have other battles and other duties.
