DeLani,
There's three times as many murdered and or missing Indigenous men as women in Canada (see site at end of this post) and many Canadians tried to have their stories included but...
...men, and boys in particular, are just not worthy victims, their disappearances are not as worthy of investigation or public inquiry as are women or girl victims.
The reason?
The gender empathy gap is sadly at play.
This cultural misandric paradigm, that men and boys are unworthy of egalitarian empathy, has saturated all aspects of our media, digital and especially #cancel culture, to the point that missing boys do not get the same police manpower nor public attention because…
...boys are unruly, a bother, they are often seen as potential abusers, thieves or violent antagonists.
Boys run away or drop out of school. They are hyper-sexual. They seem born to get into trouble.
In short, nothing in the potential of their masculinity is worthy, and therefore, they are disposable.
Just another runaway boy who will come to no good end.
Boys just don't matter as much.
How ironic that in the Corll case, the culpable Houston police exacerbated just such a hard perhaps class-ridden truth.
Saving them does not earn as many kudos as does saving one girl, let alone the dozens Corll sadistically murdered. Hmm…whilst not in the same time period, as juxtaposition, witness the kidnapping of Jaycee Duggard.
And that's not even getting into the many many enablers in the Roman Catholic Church, from Pope to Police to Politicians, and indeed, many 'new wave' feminists, who are...even today in our 'woke' times...exacerbating just such a hard brutal truth.
Boys just don’t matter as much.
Lastly, here’s a facebook site dedicated to finding missing people but men in particular in my Province of British Columbia: https://www.facebook.com/groups/233099503443118/
And a comment about why the site was created:
“This group has been created because I have noticed that many healthy, stable, happy men have just disappeared!”
