    I wouldn't like to say whether men or women face greater disadvantages on the grounds of their sex but this isn't being evasive.

        Or trying to create a false fair & balanced position. So much comes down to what the individual wants to do & whether imbalances suit them.

        I think it's clear that society is much more concerned about the way women are disadvantaged & social expectations placed upon women.

        And this is a problem which often leads many ppl doing utmost to prioritise unbiased gender equality to spend more time on men's issues.

        Because the dominant gender activism, academic theories & wider society are neglecting these.

        We do need to notice that MGM still legal, men are treated more harshly by criminal law, homelessness, suicide, illiteracy affect men more.

        But so much now comes down to gendered expectations & there its so often two sides of the same coin.

        Are men privileged by the fact society does not expect them to give up work, reduce hrs or become less reliable after kids or disadvantaged?

        This entirely depends on whether a man wants to keep focusing on career after becoming father or wld like a better work/life balance.

        If he is, great. If a partner wants more work/life balance, perfect. If a man wants to help raise his kids & a woman focus on career -harder

        But we have a society in which we have the right to defy gendered expectations & this is probably the best way to defeat them.

        I'm not talking about the world. I'm talking about the UK & US. In other parts of the world, women are oppressed.

        OK. For me, at least, feminism is abt bringing the rights & freedoms women hv in UK & US soc 2 the rest of the world. I know

        Modern feminism appears to be written almost entirely by outliers: lesbians and tomboys who see gender as very fluid and (1/)

        socially constructed. They are also deeply jealous of male gifts of evolution (confidence, physical strength, etc.) (2/)

        but do not acknowledge the problems men face that are often the flip sides of this coin. (3/3)

        i think that people often want an answer to that question in order to ignore the concerns/issues of the other sex/gender
