And there is the problem. That list is awful but there are many legitimate issues of inequality towards men and boys that should be recognized and discussed but are instead shoved aside because of the "uh but men had it better for a long time" attitudes. It's sad and ridiculous and it's making things worse rather than better but still we get the same old excuses. Boys are doing worse in English than girls in Math? Who cares about the damage to society now because men had it better in the past. A 17 year old boy gets a much harsher penalty than a 17 year old girl for the same crime? He should be thankful for the the chance to be treated unfairly.
Rather than deal with all the problems, why is it that we're just supposed to deal with some of them and call it even? I will never, ever understand that mentality.

Indeed, the current movement seems more bent on revenge than it is actual equality, which is quite sad because right now it's starting to have serious effects on boys education, which will effect future generations. Society won't get better if you exchange one injustice for another.

We're definitely seeing the effects now as male enrollment in higher education is dropping like a rock. Studies have shown that the divide begins in the earliest levels of education yet it's generally brushed aside. Anyone who thinks that short-changing the future because of the past is part of the problem. The negative effects on society are going to continue to grow and they're going to affect everyone.
