There's one relevant passage to men's rights:

The report said it was wrong for politicians to expect that equal opportunities would result in equal numbers of women as men in particular jobs.

So basically an argument against affirmative action, but we already have better ones.

So, thirty eight percent of women in the nineties married men with higher levels of education than their own. You do realise that education and income, while often related, are not the same thing?

An analysis of figures for Britain shows that in 1949, 20 per cent of women married husbands with significantly higher levels of education than their own.

By the late 1990s, the proportion of women who were “marrying up” had almost doubled to 38 per cent. Similar patterns are seen across much of Europe, the US and Australia.

The widely promoted goal of “symmetrical family roles”, with men and women sharing child-care, housework and employment, is popular among a highly educated, professional elite. But it is “not the ideal sought by most couples”, the report said.

“It is thus not surprising that wives generally earn less than their husbands, and that most couples rationally decide that it makes sense for her to take on the larger share of childcare, and use most or all the parental leave allowance.”

Dr Hakim said many women did not want to “admit” that they were looking for a higher earning partner. They even keep the fact secret from the men they are dating, she said.

“It has become impossible to say ‘I wouldn’t mind being a housewife,’” she said. “It is so politically incorrect that a lot of women don’t want to admit it.”

Men would marry rich too if they had magical, pleasure-giving receptacles built into their bodies. Well, there's always going gay - which can work out for some.
