Jessica Valenti is sick of hearing about young men falling behind when women have restricted access to abortion:

I’m so sick of these news segments about young men falling behind, they are not going to college at the same rate as young women, they can't find jobs after they graduate. I know a lot of people have seen that NBC News segment about how demoralized young men feel, because they're not getting jobs out of college at the same rate that their female counterparts are.

And of course you feel that for anyone who can't get a job, that's not the point. It's it's this Media narrative, it's the amount of articles I'm seeing about this, it's this like woe is me, poor young men, political and cultural message that we're getting in a moment when millions and millions of young women are living under laws that force them into childbirth, force them into pregnancy, are stripping away their right to birth control.

It's obscene, it's obscene that we are victimizing men in this moment.

Women outperform men in higher education degrees at a ratio of about 3:2, yet 92% of sex-specific scholarships are reserved for women.
