1	40-year study shows that hiring discrimination favours women over men No that is not an accurate description of any of my comments.	/r/MensRights	20/05/26 03:02 PM
1	40-year study shows that hiring discrimination favours women over men Not for you specifically. Thanks for clarifying.	/r/MensRights	20/05/26 02:58 PM
1	I’m a mom and witnessing the way the world treats my 11yo son vs. my daughter changed me forever. Apologies for my mistake - a principal shouldn’t either and that’s really awful. I don’t know what you mean about female dominated areas being considered good - men are often ostracized for going into these areas like nursing and administrative roles (receptionists). But there absolutely are developmental factors, social expectations, and environments that make it hard for boys. Blaming schools or boys is not what I consider the right framework. There’s a mismatch between developmental timelines…	/r/MensRights	20/05/26 02:56 PM
1	40-year study shows that hiring discrimination favours women over men Don’t mean to suggest it should be 50/50, just that it isn’t clear why a 30% figure is unfair to men, especially if women are now entering at that rate (or higher as others here have pointed out). And just to note that I can’t entertain any discussion about men generally being more deserving than women - suggesting that there’s a natural hierarchy of ability or value doesn’t hold up scientifically or ethically. Engineering success tracks much more strongly with preparation and opportunity than w…	/r/MensRights	20/05/26 02:40 PM
0	40-year study shows that hiring discrimination favours women over men I get what you’re saying totally. I think women are also viewed negatively when they reject homemaker and childcare roles too though. But there is a real challenge for men who really aren’t going to want those things for the reasons you mention. Idk what we can or should do about that and that’s what I appreciate hearing ideas on. I can definitely appreciate that quotas aren’t helping with the real or perceived biases it could introduce. Thanks for your thoughts!	/r/MensRights	20/05/26 02:28 PM
2	40-year study shows that hiring discrimination favours women over men That’s a straw man argument - men do get support. “No support” for men is beyond a stretch and can’t be claimed simply because no male-specific support is provided. I also don’t know what you mean by deserving of help. Who are the people who don’t deserve help? Do you mean like because they aren’t really trying or putting in the effort? I have a hard time believing women who don’t really try are getting a leg up but I get that we won’t see eye to eye on that and that’s fine.	/r/MensRights	20/05/26 02:17 PM
0	40-year study shows that hiring discrimination favours women over men Women also have a hard time being engineers. Both do. The idea that preferential treatment for women is there to discriminate against men is just wholly ignoring history. And I didn’t say they are still being excluded from entering the field today. There are of course informal barriers still but the reason they are joining the field now is precisely because of policies that support that. I think two things can be true at the same time - men should also be able to get support.	/r/MensRights	20/05/26 01:58 PM
3	40-year study shows that hiring discrimination favours women over men Very thoughtful response. I wish men didn’t have that kind of pressure to provide in that traditional gender role way (if they don’t want to). I wonder how that could look to shift the culture to encourage and reward boys and men for taking on other roles like that.	/r/MensRights	20/05/26 01:28 PM
-13	40-year study shows that hiring discrimination favours women over men Are you arguing it’s purely women’s preference?	/r/MensRights	20/05/26 01:19 PM
-13	40-year study shows that hiring discrimination favours women over men My point was not that quotas are rational. It just seems hard for me to see how people have a hard time with this. Hard quotas also aren’t legal in the US. These are targets and are based on whether qualified applicants are available. Now the applicant pool point is something that (I think) would be good to figure out both for male and female dominated fields.	/r/MensRights	20/05/26 01:06 PM
1	40-year study shows that hiring discrimination favours women over men Would you like to see more woman in those jobs?	/r/MensRights	20/05/26 12:54 PM

2	40-year study shows that hiring discrimination favours women over men Would you like to see that? I don’t see why not.	/r/MensRights	20/05/26 12:53 PM
0	40-year study shows that hiring discrimination favours women over men You’re talking to a woman who chose a high pressure job and works more hours than her husband so I’m having a hard time with this.	/r/MensRights	20/05/26 12:52 PM
-1	40-year study shows that hiring discrimination favours women over men Thanks for sharing. I agree about merit but don’t see quotas that way. I understand that they are seen that way by many and I’m not advocating for them. But “best fitting candidate” has not traditionally meant women (and I think many people here still don’t see them that way). I don’t know that there is a way to have equal opportunity and outcomes or if that’s even something we can all agree we want. But it’s good to hear different viewpoints.	/r/MensRights	20/05/26 12:48 PM
1	I’m a mom and witnessing the way the world treats my 11yo son vs. my daughter changed me forever. That’s not right for the teacher to have said that. I don’t disagree that biases exist. I would say both experience it and they are both valid issues.	/r/MensRights	20/05/26 12:05 PM
3	40-year study shows that hiring discrimination favours women over men I don’t know. That’s a good question and I don’t disagree that they aren’t encouraged. Could also encourage boys at a young age that being a teacher or nurse is highly important work too. But society values being college professors and doctors more highly. What are your thoughts on it? Would that be a bad thing to have a quote for those fields?	/r/MensRights	20/05/26 11:37 AM
-2	40-year study shows that hiring discrimination favours women over men There are gender expectations on both sides that affect men and women in different ways and both can be acknowledged. Men are more pushed toward risk, status, and being a breadwinner. Women are more pushed toward caregiving, appearance, agreeableness, and safety. It would be great if men were equally represented in administrative work and as homemakers. Those also come with less prestige. Sex work is a business. Plenty of men own or work at companies that sell services. Also, men work in that fi…	/r/MensRights	20/05/26 11:27 AM

-81	40-year study shows that hiring discrimination favours women over men lol… They’re aiming for 30%! Systematically excluding women and then feeling annoyed when trying to counter that with a less than equal target. And then asking why they don’t make up half. Incredible. EDIT: “Historically excluding..” I don’t mean to suggest they are excluded from entry today, though there is a retention problem. NSF/NCSES workforce data cites workplace climate, lack of mentorship, isolation, and advancement barriers—not just loss of interest. https://swe.org/research/2025/retent…	/r/MensRights	20/05/26 02:30 AM

33	40-year study shows that hiring discrimination favours women over men It concludes, “after years of widespread gender bias in so many aspects of professional life, at least some societies have clearly moved closer to equal treatment when it comes to applying for many jobs.” Also says men don’t want to be school teachers and receptionists, recent research reveals muted moral concerns about male underrepresentation in traditionally female jobs, due to the perceptions that such roles are low in status and that men are not motivated to obtain them (Block et al., 2019,…	/r/MensRights	20/05/26 01:50 AM
-10	I’m a mom and witnessing the way the world treats my 11yo son vs. my daughter changed me forever. Women absolutely do outnumber men in college enrollment and graduation right now. But the leap from “women are succeeding academically” to “men are being systematically excluded through preferential treatment” is not supported. There are many factors: girls generally earn higher grades and complete more coursework in K-12, boys are disciplined more often and drop out at higher rates, men are more likely to go directly into trades or the workforce, and schools may increasingly reward behavioral t…	/r/MensRights	20/05/26 01:23 AM
-18	I’m a mom and witnessing the way the world treats my 11yo son vs. my daughter changed me forever. This is something that I find so difficult to discuss but also really worthwhile - Boys are often treated as “rough and tumble” and girls as “sweet and innocent.” These are difficult stereotypes that result in both positive and negative associations with both genders. I don’t think many would suggest we treat boys and girls the same. Saying there should be no distinction between boys and girls ignores real differences. I don’t know how to address that - asking parents to parent the exact same wa…	/r/MensRights	19/05/26 08:44 PM
2	What 1,700 Studies on Domestic Violence Actually Found I’m curious why you think more men are in prisons on violent offenses than women. Are those men not actually violent or are they mostly innocent? Do you think women are not being punished for serious violence?	/r/MensRights	19/05/26 02:37 PM
-4	I’m a mom and witnessing the way the world treats my 11yo son vs. my daughter changed me forever. I’m a mother of a young girl, no boys. I do have nephews that I adore. I came to this post to learn about perspectives that I don’t understand because I would honestly like to learn and see what it is that people who believe this way would like to see change. To be clear, I think the world is unfair in general but I don’t believe girls are treated better than boys. Would you mind sharing more about why you think things are worse for boys now? And what you would like to see change? Genuinely I do…	/r/MensRights	19/05/26 02:16 PM
