I will try to explain why men are treated as lesser human beings in today's society by explaining the driving forces. I will mostly talk about the cultural issues regarding intersexual relationships, such as friendship or partnership. It doesn't directly relate to laws or political problems which we can debate on but certainly will have indirect effects. Let's start analyzing.

I think the major problem is the social market expansion. What I mean by social market expansion is the creation of social media by which people can easily text each other and by doing so, expand their social circle in an unprecedented manner. Yes, it's not very kind to treat people like commodities but in this example, it will be extremely useful to understand dynamics.

In this market, mostly, women choose with whom they talk since they're the ones who are more valuable and selective. So, we can think of them as consumers and men as products. In the past, there weren't many opportunities where women could talk with men because of socially conservative cultural norms, anxiety, not enough freedom, not having access to, etc. Social media has been revolutionary in this aspect and suddenly lots of products became available which decreased the value of the product.

A female consumer back then could only choose from her social circle which contains a few men in it. So, the supply was pretty low. So, if a woman wanted to talk badly with a man, she should've thought twice before doing so because men were relatively scarce compared to this age. The value of a prospect was high since strategies like day gaming are much harder to do compared to texting randomly on Instagram. Nowadays, man is replaceable in a few seconds since he's not a differentiable product which makes the market perfectly competitive.

If we go into more detail, we can say that the demand by female consumers in this social market is totally elastic which means that as soon as you're not compatible with her imagination or do something which bothers her, instead of reconciling, she will erase you. In the past, she would've tried to restore friendship or partnership knowing that you're of value but in today's market, you have no value. Today, she will find someone else in the blink of an eye. There's absolutely nothing you can do. You cannot be the best product in this competitive market and the relationship is doomed to failure.
I don't know what the solution is but definitely, some restrictions/regulations on social media should be tried. In no way this society can function properly if the dynamics are like this. It will be very hard to solve this one because it's not just about the system anymore but also about the behavior patterns of females and also males to an extent since they're consistently diminishing their value by texting all XX chromosomes on the Internet.

Note: It's exaggerated a bit to make my point clearly. I don't claim there is no way you can build companionship with a female but it's infinitely more harder.
