Japan similarly has strong stereotypes for men. Much of the society there is patriarchal. This of course affects both men and women. A prime example of this happened only a few days ago. Osaka's mayor in Japan suggested that men should go shopping during the pandemic because "are indecisive and take a long time" when buying products. Stereotypes like these affect all people in Japan negatively and lead to the perpetuation of poor stereotypes for all. Though this example isn't particularly dangerous for everyone, it serves as an example for how simple a stereotype can be.
These type of remarks should be avoided, especially by someone in a position of power. They need to maintain a good representation of the ideal citizen. I will always make an effort to not spread stereotypes. People around the world need to make an effort to contribute to society as well.

Sexual Assault
With Sanders no longer in the running, Biden is the Democratic candidate facing Trump. News of his sexual assault allegation so far are not being reported on by most news sources. This of course leads to the question: how should sexual assault cases be handled?
It seems rather obvious to me. The Constitution states that no person shall be “deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law”. Unless these allegations have merit in the form of concrete evidence, how can they result in any indictment? With the rise of the #metoo movement throughout the world, men have become the victims of millions of accusations. Those that have proof should obviously be recognized, but those without can be seen as slander. Publicizing Biden's accusations without any evidence would just be harming his reputation. We cannot allow the government to infringe on our Constitutional rights.

Men Today
Amidst this pandemic, men still face the same struggles that have been present the past centuries. Men are expected to work and make money for their families. Many of them now lack a job due to the current situation. Many men are so used to working constantly, that going through their day to day routines without working comes as bizarre. However, things seem to be looking up for all families.
While men are worried about less money for their families, laws are currently being enacted to support these working families. The hope is that apartment rent, mortgages, and all other debt will be frozen during this pandemic as myriad are placed in difficult situations. It would be unfair to freeze only one of these without the other, so the only viable solution seems to be to freeze the whole economy. This will allow men to stop worrying about supporting their family financially. In turn, fathers are able to support their family by simply being there for them.
