The figure for the whole workforce is still in the 65-70% range.

False. Its more 70%+. I yet to even see feminist claim anything lower than 70%.

That said, this is very encouraging and suggests important steps towards income equality.

That assumes its an actual gender issue and not economic one, which it isn't. Pretty much all of the wage gap studies take overall salaries/wages of men and women. That alone is a false comparison. As for one it it negates the fact that women work less hours than that of men. Which alone makes women earn less than men and that make such a comparison false.

The fact is largely we have income equality now. What no one seems to care about is women making more than men due to a push to deal with an issue that isn't there to being with. In short this whole push of income equality in many ways is becoming reverse inequality onto men. Mind you this is of course ignoring jobs where women do make more than men, as well people love to ignore things that don't fit their bias.

But how this is a step towards income equality is beyond me tho.

Hmm maybe I'm coming at this wrong. My point is, if you feel that men aren't getting a fair shake right now, I disagree, but am willing to entertain that I could be wrong.

But if you don't agree that at least until, say the late sixties, women where overwhelmingly disadvantaged, then you're just not part of reality.

So then, to try and present a reasonable case, you really need to at least say something like "While I recognize that men wield a great deal of political power and have historically been dominant, that is no longer the case. Some might feel that current injustice balances out the past, but I maintain that the goal must always be equality."

In theory, It's possible that all 83 men in the Senate don't recognize the plight that they face. But you should really see that this is, even if only in appearance, a substantial barrier to your position and that failing to acknowledge this makes it easy to dismiss the idea of men's rights.
