      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.

          accept that men usually have the power (though work to challenge it) but male victims of domestic violence often marginalised

          Do they, tho? In some areas, they do. Women often have more choices. Agree re: domestic violence.

          If straight men are going to feel threatened or uncomfortable with homosexuality, it does tend to be gay men its aimed at.

          Lesbians are not so threatening to homophobes - tho they might feel insulted. Gay men not remotely threatening to women.
